White jeans are one of those clothing items that everyone wants to wear and hopes to look good in but never makes the attempt to try. There's also a common but false belief that white jeans will only look good on a certain body type.

While it can be difficult to find a pair that's flattering, it can look great on every body type! Once you find the right pair and how to style it, you'll be one of those cool-girls who seem to have fashion figured out.

Keep reading to find out our five tips on how to pull off white jeans regardless of your body type!

#1 Choose the right silhouette

A concern that you might have is that white jeans will highlight undesired parts of your lower half. The trick is to find a flattering pant silhouette!

Look for straight leg or boyfriend jeans that have a high-waisted fit. The most flattering pair of white jeans for most ladies is slim-legged and fitted in the hips without being clingy.

If you are confident in your body, go ahead with the classic skinny jeans that look super chic!

#2 Choose thick fabric

Thin fabrics tend to emphasise every lump and bump on your body. If that doesn't sound ideal to you, your best bet will be a thick, stiff fabric like heavyweight denim. You can also try cotton or other soft but thick fabrics for a sophisticated look!

#3 Balance out your silhouette

White jeans are a statement piece that can change the look of your overall silhouette dramatically. The right top can balance out your look!

If you have wider shoulders or narrow hips and a svelte lower body, go for a tight fitted top in a dark colour. For those with a pear-shaped body, go for a loose-fitted top that isn't too oversized. Prints and horizontal stripes will also help add visual bulk to the top half of your body.

#4 Wear a long cardigan or blazer

If you're not entirely confident of showing off your bum in white jeans, throw on a long outerwear piece like a cardigan or blazer. This smartens up your look and partially covers your bum and thighs while still showing off your white jeans.

#5 Choose the right underwear

Depending on the fabric of your white jeans or trousers, your underwear may look more visible especially in bright natural light. To avoid this fashion faux pas, go for seamless underwear in a nude colour that matches the colour of your skin.

White may seem like the logical underwear colour to choose when you're wearing white jeans, but it's not! Unless your skin is very fair, the outline of your underwear will be visible when contrasted against the darker colour of your skin!
