As summer starts to wind down, don’t even think about putting away those white jeans just yet. The best white jeans for women are a timeless denim staple that work regardless of season. They’ve prevailed over the old-set rules advising on the months they can and cannot be worn; these days, anything goes when it comes to white jeans, and no shade—écru! ivory! bone!—is off limits.

White denim might have risen to popularity in the 1960s, through the mod crowd that regularly wore them—think Francoise Hardy and Jane Birkin for inspiration—we’ve seen an increase in styles with varying fits and even hues across the runways and peppered throughout our favorite denim brands’ offerings.

From tried-and-true, straight-legs, to effortless baggy jeans, white jeans have come a long way in terms of fit, construction, and even fabrication. Today’s white jeans truly run the gamut.

And since it’s hard to pinpoint just one best white jean, as fit and style can be quite specific based upon individual preferences, we have categorized all of our favorites by cut, style, and detailing. We recommend wearing these styles long into the fall and colder months—hello, winter whites!—ahead. Below, you will find the Vogue editor-approved list of the 44 best white jeans available currently.

The Straight-Leg

Simplicity is not dead. Think of the straightforward, straight-leg as your go-to; in shades of white, it feels fresher than your everyday blues. We prefer ours to have a relaxed fit, high-waist, and less stretch for a vintage-inspired feel that pairs perfectly with everything from T-shirts and button downs, to chunky knits and blazers as the temperatures turn.

The Wide-Leg

Easy and breezy, wide-legs just might be the perfect jean, based on their super-loose fit and softer fabrications. We can’t help but imagine wearing these belted at the waist with a turtleneck, then finished off with an ankle boot underneath, making them totally ready for fall.

The Low-Rise

If you’ve been bitten by the Y2K denim bug, low-rise styles might be your current obsession. Trendy or not, these low-slung styles aren’t going to be falling out of fashion anytime soon. They are all classic fits that have a forever feel—from the loose, weekend-worthy silhouettes to something stiffer with a little more structure.

The Slim Fit

Bridging the gap between skinny and straight, a slim-fit jean gives off a distinctively clean look that feels a bit more polished. Whether styled with a button-down and ballet flat, or a blazer and boots, these can easily be taken from the office to after hour drinks in a heartbeat.

The Tapered

A tapered jean is recognizable by its relaxed fit and distinct, curved leg. When going the white denim route, be sure to choose a pair made from 100% cotton and look for utilitarian details that will set yours apart, such as unique, seam construction. They should have a rugged feel.

The Baggy

Pump up the volume. These silhouettes might be borrowed from the boys, but there is no argument that baggy jeans are the most comfortable fit on our list. Featuring a loose waist and even looser leg, choose from extra-long hemlines and a range of shades that will really make yours truly standout.

The Pleated

The pleat-front jean has risen in popularity the past few seasons, and when done in a bleached white or an écru tone, it really has a fresh spin. Think of these as your slightly dressier fit, that can be worn to the office and beyond. Just be sure to try on with your preferred, everyday shoe styles, to find the winning hem length.

The Bootcut

The bootcut is a style with plenty of retro references, but right now we can’t help but gravitate towards this micro-flare shape. Call it the Bella Hadid effect, but there is something so flattering about the silhouette. Whether you prefer something with stretch or on the stiffer side, our edit has both.

The Crop

For the petites out there, or anyone who loves a slightly shorter hemline, this grouping of cropped jeans doesn’t disappoint. Take your pick from kick-flares to straight-leg silhouettes, all with a shortened hem length. Any shade preference works—below you will find varieties, from eggshell to optic white, all feeling totally right.

The Carpenter Pant

The ‘90s are calling. These pocketed jeans get the modern-day treatment in shades of white. Offered in relaxed silhouettes that will serve you well day-to-day, here you will find hammer-loop styles and workwear embellishments that truly capture the effortless, cool girl-approved vibe.
