Anyone found any nice white girlfriend-style jeans for spring?

I'm veeeeery reluctantly contemplating stepping away from the skinnies and think summery white jeans may be the time to try it.

I'm tall and roughly a size 10/12: will a looser pair of jeans suit me (and what do I wear on my feet?! I mean, shoes, OBVIOUSLY, but the slim trainers or ballet pumps I wear with my beloved skinnies may not look right with the looser shape?)?

Oh, and are white jeans horribly horribly naff? I've never actually worn skinny jeans in white as I have a horror of the Liz Hurley look (she's a stunning woman but I don't particularly like nor suit that very high-octane glamour-puss look in the tight white jeans) so I'm just sort of hoping a looser white jean ISN'T horribly naff.

Am I wrong?

Please disabuse me of this notion of wearing white summery jeans if I'll look like a total tit!

Or offer advice if you think I should go for it.

PS If one of you is the kind person who has recommeded clogs to me many times on this very site... would clogs work, footwear-wise?!

I wouldn’t wear them in white myself as I’m too fat but I’ve got 2 pairs of Baujken girlfriend jeans in blue and black
Not cheap but really nice and soft

I have bought two pairs of white jeans this summer, a lovely all cotton pair from Whistles, baggy of leg and cropped. And also a traditional pair of 501's, which are not skin tight but give a sleeker look. So far I like them, they are not stained yet though, but it won't be long.

They go with everything, look nice with heeled sandals, trainers, loafers...

I live in girlfriend jeans from Gap - not sure if they do white ones.
As for shoes, I want clogs but wear flat sandals or trainers.

Nothing worse than any form of white trousers

I think Ines de la Fressange shows how to look good in white / off white jeans.

Thanks everyone.
Will check out those Whistles ones (though may be a bit over my budget) and look at Ines de la F to see if i can work out how I want to look!
