Flattering white jeans

25 replies

EB100 · 21/06/2019 10:39

Hi can anyone recommend a pair of high street white jeans that does not show every single lump and bump? I should probably not wear them but desperate to.

Flattering white jeans is an oxymoron, surely Wink

EB100 · 21/06/2019 12:41

@Lamentations Grin yes on my body type it is but now I have this in my head

I don't think such a thing exists!

optimisticpessimist01 · 21/06/2019 12:45

I like Topshop jeans, have a browse! I think white jeans look so good with a tan and a black belt! Don't forget the belt!!!!

I got a pair of M&S Lily slim jeans in white which are good, thicker material and not such a skinny fit so they're better than the other pairs I've had that do show everything.

I got these in Gap this week, not as cream as in the photo, I think a wash in bio detergent will render them white.

Very flattering on my pear shape.

DirtyDennis · 21/06/2019 12:55

Unless you're a fire-damaged yuppy in the 1980s swanning around Marbella, you have absolutely no right to be wearing white jeans.

Step away.

EB100 · 21/06/2019 13:36

Thanks for the suggestions! I will go have a look this afternoon. Pear shape as well. @DirtyDennis not stepping away Shock

I'm a short size 14 and always thought white jeans a complete 'no-no' but I bought some straight cropped ones from Next last year and amazingly they were quite slimming. Normally I would buy dark denim and don't find light-wash jeans look particularly good on me but seriously the white jeans looked fine. Oh and I'm quite hefty of arse/thigh too.

BumbleNova · 21/06/2019 15:11

@DirtyDennis you must have missed the memo, white jeans are very much back in style.

teta · 21/06/2019 15:55

I'm size 14 and have a pair of White Nydj jeans in the straight Marilyn style .They are very flattering and I've had several compliments .

IhaveALooBrush · 21/06/2019 16:05

I've got some high waisted wide leg white jeans.
I love them.
If I wear them with a breton stripe top I can channel my inner Gaultier/Gene Kelly.

I’ve been looking for white jeans for ages with no success. I look like I’m about to hit the cricket field!

Doobigetta · 21/06/2019 16:22

I tried on about 50 pairs a few weeks ago, and came to the conclusion that they have to be quite thick denim to avoid looking cheap and showing every bump, and properly skinny. I’ve moved away from skinny blue jeans towards boyfriend type styles, but I found that in white those just look too “ahoy there!” and Tory wife going yachting really isn’t the look I want. They have to be tight and ankle-length- either to start with or rolled/tucked. But not too short- the ones that only reach mid-calf are back in Christine Hamilton territory. You want them to be sharp.
I got M&S skinnies in the end and haven’t worn them yet because today is the first day it hasn’t rained since I bought them.

KatharinaRosalie · 21/06/2019 17:34

I have this pair which I think is quite flattering www.esprit.co.uk/womenswear/clothes/jeans/stretch-jeans-with-double-button-039CC1B009_100

twosoups1972 · 21/06/2019 17:38

I might try those @katharina how does the sizing come up?

Also, Top Shop might be worth a look OP.

SapphireBattersea · 21/06/2019 17:40

And where my one procure said jeans? I'm at a loss

raisinsraisins · 21/06/2019 17:48

I’ve got some slim fit white jeans from Next. I got them in petite so that they’re a little bit cropped on me.

KatharinaRosalie · 21/06/2019 17:53

twosoups1972 I'm usually size 10 and got 27, and they're a bit loose, could maybe fit into 26.

twosoups1972 · 21/06/2019 18:10

@katharina not many sizes left unfortunately.

@raisinsraisins I like the sound of the Next ones but no petite sizes left. I want them a bit cropped too. Might try regular length just to see.

raisinsraisins · 21/06/2019 20:22

Twosoups - I’m 5ft8 and the regular length were quite long, but they might look ok turned up at the bottom if you’re not tall.
