"I think there's this whole notion that you're blending in. It's too summery of a look. But I think with all the great weights and textures we have now, it's become a huge trend," he explains.
However, to avoid any crimes of fashion David says stick with denim. Here are some other guidelines:
- Layer, layer, layer!
- White jeans make other pieces pop. Add them to break up a neutral colored top and tall boots.
- Don't hesitate to wear chunky jewels with casual white jeans.
- Add interest with unusual combinations - a fur vest OVER your coat instead of underneath it.
- Muted tones, jewel tones and earth tones look great with white jeans in winter. Save the bright colors for spring.
- Mix urban, utilitarian items with crisp white jeans and lady-like items.
- To keep white jeans from looking out of place in cooler months, add boots, booties or closed-toe shoes.
- When mixing different shades of white, be sure to wear an equal number of each shade so it looks intentionally paired.
- To transition to spring, start layering with lighter-weight fabrics.
