Do you remember the first time you heard the fashion superstition, “Don’t wear white after Labor Day?”

For some reason, I used to follow that rule to a tee. It was an old rule based on historical moments where wealthy people would pack away their white clothes for the fall and winter months. 

While people still love to talk about the old rule, it’s no longer widely followed, and so many people wear all sorts of pretty white clothes during all months of the year, especially the winter months. 

A good pair of white jeans is one of the most fun and versatile pieces of white clothing to wear in the winter! 

There are many cute ways to style white jeans in the winter, and there is no reason not to wear them in the colder months anymore. If someone sees you walking down the street in white jeans after Labor Day, I promise they will not say anything to you. If they do, I’m sure it would be to complement your outfit.

Here are some fun ways to style white jeans for the winter so you can bring them back into your wardrobe and wear them year-round!

In an all-white outfit

So many people are choosing to rock monochromatic outfits today. Years ago, people may have considered it a fashion faux pas to wear all black or all white, but more people have been embracing these kinds of looks. Wear your white jeans with your favorite white sneakers, a white sweater or blazer, and a white top. Embrace a monochromatic moment and have fun with it! 

However, you may want to avoid wearing this outfit to a place where you could get a little messy!

With a graphic tee and booties

White jeans are a great base for an awesome graphic tee shirt. If you’re getting tired of wearing the same denim jeans or black leggings with some of your favorite tees, try white jeans! Finish this look with your favorite pair of black booties, and you’ve got a great go-to look. 

Add a touch of animal print

White jeans pair so well with many animal prints. Leopard print clothes are making quite the comeback this year, so feel free to wear a leopard print top, boots, or accessories with white jeans. It’s a great opportunity to make your animal prints part of a cleaner, crisper look.

Paired with leather

White jeans are excellent bottoms to wear with your favorite leather jacket. The contrast of colors and fabrics makes for a very cool outfit.

You can wear your white jeans and leather jacket with sneakers, booties, minimalist makeup, or a bold red lip. Either way, you’ll be left with an outfit that’s too cool for school.

Again, don’t let a super old fashion ‘rule’ prevent you from wearing what you want to wear. White jeans are great pants for winter fashion, so get out there and wear them!
