How to wear white jeans in summer: 7 ivory and cream denim outfit ideas that feel SO seasonal
White jeans deserve a place in your summer wardrobe. First things first: yes, you *can* wear denim in summer. Sure, it's maybe best avoided in favour of a floaty summer dress on days when the sun is really beating down. But when the clouds crowd in (an inevitably when living in the UK, even in July) or you're wanting to dress a little more modestly, white jeans have all the seasonal vibes. More so than your trusty blue denim. With a little more structure than linen trousers and formal enough to double as workwear as well as off-duty, there's no shortage of occasions white jeans work for. Plus, available in a whole host of silhouettes from barrel cuts to wide-leg styles, there are plenty of options, whatever your favourite jeans trend. All that's left to figure out is what to wear with your white jeans. Luckily, the street style set are providing guidance on how to wear them in 2025. Keep scrolling for all the white jeans outfit inspo... Sure, you've likely tried pairing a blue denim jacket or waistcoat with jeans, but the look works just as well with white denim. In fact, it's actually much easier to pull off as there's less variation in the colour of white denim. We know you know butter yellow is the colour of the season, and we're still not over wearing it. Try styling a butter yellow top or accessory with white jeans for a fresh take. The easiest way to wear white jeans? With a white t-shirt or top – something everyone already has in their wardrobe. To stop your outfit from feeling too clinical, add at least one element in a different colour. It's best to pick an accessory to stay true to the trend, like a black bag or colourful shoes. If white jeans feel a little too ~clean~ for you, a leather jacket instantly toughens up your entire outfit. You can't go wrong with black or brown leather for timeless style. Of course, leather can feel a little too harsh against white denim. Luckily, the street style set has found the perfect alternative: a brown suede jacket. Take your pick from a blazer, barn jacket, or a fringed design to tap into the boho revival. White jeans have a more formal feel than blue denim, making them perfect attire for occasions that require you to dress up but you still want to feel comfy. Lean into the formality by styling with gold, be it a sequin top or tweed jacket with glittery thread. Add a pair of heels and you're good to go. Follow Alex on Instagram.

This easy, 10 second fashion hack instantly elevates every outfit – and it's already in your wardrobe!
Sound the fashion klaxon! There's a new trend we're getting *really* excited about: silk scarf belts. When it comes to must-have items you need in your wardrobe for spring, a silk scarf is top of the list above any jacket or bag trend we've been lusting after. Why? Because it's the quickest and easiest way to make any outfit feel fresh, cool and more exciting. So, how do you wear a silk scarf as a belt? Our favourite way is with a t-shirt and jeans to instantly elevate our basic, go-to combo. Roll the scarf into a thin, long strip and thread it through your belt loops, or fold it in half bandana-style and wrap it around your waist. The look works just as well layered over a skirt or summer dress. Try pairing a patterned scarf with a satin slip to give a simple 'fit extra interest. Belts were big news on the autumn/winter and spring/summer 2025 runways, and the silk scarf belt trend taps into this. It's also the perfect continuation of the triangle scarf trend we were obsessed with last season. But now that the mercury's rising, we're ditching knitted versions knotted round our necks in favour of silky satin styles tied round our hips. Chances are, you likely have an old, long-forgotten silk scarf buried somewhere at the back of your wardrobe. If not, your mum definitely will! The high street is full of them at the moment, so it's never been easier – or more affordable – to get in on the trend.
