Are white jeans still in fashion?

I bought a nice pair from Zara and I love them.
Was planning on wearing them tomorrow but my friend has just informed me nobody wears white jeans anymore.
Should I return?
I tried them on with a navy top and loved the outfit.

Yes!!! I love my white jeans in the summer (though, just realised I may be out of fashion too in that case 🙈😂)

Finfintytint · 14/07/2019 17:29

Yes, I have a pair for the summer.

simplyredandwhite · 14/07/2019 17:30

Phew I'm gonna wear them
I also love them in summer and think they look so fresh.
I guess if the shops are selling them .....

Really lifts my mood to feel all summery. If you like them and it makes you feel good, then wear them.

SunsetBunny · 14/07/2019 17:37

Ive got some & I’m bloody wearing them! But mine are more of a chino material.
You need specific weather for white jeans i find. Guaranteed to be dry but not too hot!

Kochicoo · 14/07/2019 17:41

I think they're back in, especially if Zara are selling them. Think they've been in the Liz Hurley fashion wilderness for a suitably long period of time.

LuxuryWoman2018 · 14/07/2019 18:32

your friend is wrong, they’re everywhere. They can look great too.

LottieLucie · 14/07/2019 18:37

Is your friend the editor of Vogue?

Wear what you like!

Google 'white jeans theory' for a laugh GrinWink

I think they look okay in summer but they’re not trendy per se, the trendy pair would be a straight leg fit, ankle grazer length with a slightly off-white shade. I don’t think white skinny jeans are ‘in’, but at the same time they’re summery so won’t look awful

StarlightLady · 14/07/2019 18:52

I wear them.

applepieicecream · 14/07/2019 18:53

I wear them and love them. I wear them straight and turned up above the ankle

TeapotofTerror · 14/07/2019 19:40

I can't wear them, they make me want to roller skate while warbling, "Oooh bodyform, bodyform for yoooou!"

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 14/07/2019 19:51

straight leg fit, ankle grazer length with a slightly off-white shade

Ahhhh 2 out of 3 ! Mine are full length not ankle grazing.

My DD hates them, she was ver ver judgey when I bought them .

I am too old to care about fashion , don't know what's in / what's out .

(Off to Google White Jeans Theory .......)
As long as I wear respectable nude colour pants , I'm fine I reckon

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 14/07/2019 19:53

No, the White Jeans Theory does not apply here (and mine aren't pure white so I'm excempt ) Grin

CalamBalam · 14/07/2019 20:00

To me white jeans = Liz Hurley.

But if you love them and can't wait to wear them why would you be thinking of returning them just because someone told you they were unfashionable? Loving an item should be the number 1 reason for wearing it!

Orchidflower1 · 14/07/2019 20:09

teapotofterror that advert song really made me chuckle!! I’d forgotten about it! Grin

Daria32 · 14/07/2019 22:19

Just to add- your thread inspired me to wear mine this evening for an early dinner with friends and two of them said they were now going to buy some white jeans! Ha! Wear them! 😄

GoodGirlsGuide · 14/07/2019 22:24

I love my skinny bright white Levi’s - I also wear them with a slight turn up and love them with a navy camisole top and navy strappy wedges. It’s a go to summer (has to hot!) evening outfit. I’m rubbish at wearing them in the daytime though as I always get stains on them Confused.

I’m early 40’s so not fussed if I’m trendy or not (I don’t think I ever was Hmm) - I’d wear them whether they were in fashion or not lol!

simplyredandwhite · 15/07/2019 08:02

So pleased everyone else here seems to love them too ha ha
I'm wearing them today so wish me luck not to spill a cup of tea on them before I even leave the house

I never stopped wearing them. Super skinny with rips all down to the knee.

Floisme · 15/07/2019 09:14

Mine are wide leg, ankle length and, I like to think, kind of Coco Chanel on the Riviera. I mostly wear them on holiday and they spend the next 12 months lost in the laundry bag

SchnitzelVonKrumm · 15/07/2019 09:19

Have white jeans ever been in fashion?

SallyWD · 15/07/2019 09:31

I have no idea what's in fashion but I've seen plenty of people wear white jeans. I think if you have a cool/youthful vibe (regardless of whether you're 20 or 70) you can pull off pretty much anything.
