It always looks amazing and is quite easy for you to dress up as well as down.Crisp, clean, chic, simple yet sophisticated, white jeans really looks stylish and takes your everyday look to the next level.

However, many of us are afraid to wear white jeans and won't even consider it as an option, afraid that it will make us look fat. True, white jeans are tricky as we usually wear them tighter. But, if you choose the right pair it can be really flattering.
In fact, I feel white denim is a wardrobe staple that transcends all trends and seasons and something every woman must have.
Lets look at some of the celebrities sporting the trend before talking about how to choose the Right White Jeans.

Choosing your White Denim
There are lots of styles to choose from, wide-leg to bootcut to slim fits to capris. Make you choice with the following advice:
- Wearing White Jeans can be tricky as it quite accentuates your bums. So make sure you avoid ones with any rear decor like embellishments, embroidery, sequins, flap pockets. The back of your white jeans should be simple and clean with angled pockets to shape and lift.
- Take a size bigger in white pants. If you'll choose something tight, it would only end up highlighting your butt and making them appear bigger. You can only go away with a body-hugging pair if you're very skinny (like Gisele Bundchen, image above).
- Pick skinny white pairs only if you're skinny, else it can make you look bigger and highlight your problem areas.
- Wear bootcuts (like dVb pair Heidi is wearing) or straight fit with high heels (your jeans should cover the heels). They'll make your legs look taller creating slimming effect.
- Pick thicker and heavier denim that is soft but stretchable to sculpt your flab.
- Cropped styles look really smart and allow you to flaunt your really sexy shoes; but wear them only if you're tall. Wear the cropped white pants with pretty printed tops for an instantly chic weekend look. If you're not tall, stay clear from cropped white pants as it will make your leg look shorter.

Wearing White Jeans
You can pair your versatile white jeans with lightweight sweaters and jackets when it's chilly, and switch to comfortable tees, vests, halters or blouses when the sun comes out.
- Like black, white matches with everything. So choosing the right colour with white is really not a problem.

- You can look great in an all white ensemble, your white jeans paired with a white tee or shirt, by adding some colour through accessories. Check out Lauren Conrad here looking great in an all white ensemble by adding splash of colour through her orange bag and matching shoes (perfect summer look).
- Skinny: Get a pair of white skinny jeans and pair them with a nice top. Avoid tight top if you are going with the tight jeans. Instead, think about a flowy top paired with high heels. This is an easier look to pull off. You can wear a nice cardi and cami top with your white skinnies or a nice jacket.
- Accessories: Accessorising is vital wth your white denims, it can really add to your look provided you team the right accessories.
- Watch your VPL: Wear nude coloured or your skin toned knickers under your white jeans and make sure they are no VPLs, otherwise your lines would show and any other colour (including white) would reflect under your pants.
