Key to a well-rounded capsule wardrobe is a go-to pair of denim—and during the fall months, nothing is more casual-cool than white jeans outfits. In ecru, ivory, or cream, the closet classic is a favorite amongst the It girls and the street style set. For fashion month and beyond, you can find the stylish lot sporting theirs with everything from leather jackets and ballet flats to relaxed button-downs and ’90s-inspired minimalist thong sandals. And with cooler weather nearly here, white jean outfits are perfectly suited for commutes to-and-from the office, afternoons spent picnicking in the park, and post-work gatherings.
