What to pair with off white wide leg jeans?

I have recently lost a lot of weight (11stone!) and am experimenting with clothes I would never have dared wear before and trying to build up a good capsule wardrobe in my new size.

Today I succumbed to a purchase of really lovely wide leg jeans in a cream/off white colour. I have never worn a light colour on the bottom before and am struggling to find tops and shoes to pair with them, I feel so far out of my comfort zone that I can't pick anything!!

I work for myself so am usually more casual. I think white tops look ok so far if a bit boring? Need help with other colours and ideas. I'm a size 12, early 40s and tall, happy to tuck tops in but not a crop length, would prefer to be cheaper/high street budget if possible....HEEELLP!!

Breton top and ballet flats. Boring but they work really well with the jeans you describe! I’m

I love wearing white jeans with a navy or charcoal jumper. You could go with round neck or v neck, maybe a bit oversized. Wear a white t shirt underneath, it reflects light back to your face. You could wear that with trainers, loafers or ballet flats.

I wear mine with a tweed jacket, or a trench coat.

If you have a look on Pinterest you'll find lots of ideas, look for 'quiet luxury' 'stealth luxe'

H and M, Zara and Mango are good for knits in good shapes

Ribbed long sleeve top
pussy bow blouse
Converse high/ low top
Bretton tops
This is what I wear with my wide leg jeans in blue.

I also agree with PP in terms of a trench coat.

I really like white bottoms with a black top.

I think it looks really chic

Something fitted to balance out the wide leg. I’d go for a fitted short sleeve knit in red or a green colour or a slim fit shirt - a blue/white thin strip would go well. I’d wear with nice trainers or flats.

congratulations on your weight loss!

Cat Deely had a fab red blouse on today on This Morning. She wore it with white wide legged jeans.
Have a look at pinterest. There'll be lots of info there.
Congratulations on your weight loss!

Pale blue on top. V chic.

You can try the Light - medium - dark outfit trick, which is where you try to balance your outfit with (you guessed it) something light, something medium and something dark.

I have some stone coloured high waisted wide leg jeans and love them with chunky trainers, a plain sweater and a brown biker jacket. Should also be some ideas on the link above 👆🏼

Also, congrats on the weight loss!
