White jeans are the quintessential summer denim choice
When the sun is out, there’s nothing nicer than a fresh pair of white denim jeans. Ecru, cream and ivory also work (steer clear of anything see-through or too tight). Look for a high-rise or medium-rise pair: high-rise white jeans will enhance your curves. Mid-rise, straight-leg and cropped wide-leg jeans are universally flattering: all cut from either soft or rigid cotton, depending on your preference. To smarten up laid-back denim you’ll need a crisp cotton shirt with a curved hem. Alternatively, you could add a shot of dopamine colour with a summer knit (we love Colin Burke’s new cotton knit sweaters available at Havana; www.havanaboutique.ie). White jeans, a classic Breton T-shirt and flats are also a perennial summer pairing, just add lashings of fine gold jewellery. Here’s our edit of the best pairs of white jeans you’ll wear on repeat …
