A while back, when I ran a post on my Spring Wardrobe Essentials, I briefly discussed white jeans, which to me, are a year-round staple, but especially necessary in the warmer months. I have an old pair of white Levi 501’s that are slightly cropped but wanted a longer pair, in subtler shade, and these cream Juliet jeans from Nili Lotan were my final purchase. I like them because they have a slight bootcut but are also slightly looser on top than her Celia jean (they have no stretch). I do think a more relaxed jean is the way to go. Plus, skinny white jeans have long been a hard no in my book–they look more country club than cool, and frankly, they aren’t flattering on most of us. My summer wardrobe is going revolve around a lot of white and beige (with a shot of black and maybe color), and I will post on it soon, because I do find that if you like minimalist designs, summer is somehow the hardest month to navigate. Stay tuned! And maybe see you next Wednesday at my NYC trunk show!

I need these.
Can you share some suggestions as to how to wear? I bought them but am having trouble figuring out what to wear with them besides a nice t-shirt. And shoes with wider leg? Thanks!
Besides a tee or a striped Mariner, I like a tank with an un-buttoned button-down layer over, or a short-sleeve shirt (I have a few of the Channing from Xirena), a belt helps–then sneakers, Birks, K Jacques sandals, ballet flats….I think you can almost wear anything that is flat. Hope this helps!
