5 ways to wear your favorite summer jeans this winter, Bella Hadid style

White jeans are one of the staple pieces of a summer wardrobe, saving every office outfit during sweltering days. However, no matter how much I love them, every September I still fold them away at the top of the closet together with flowy dresses, where they patiently wait for the first warm days of the following year. And yet, it seems that this year I will reach for them a bit earlier. It girls have decided that we will be wearing these summer jeans in winter as well. And it looks great.

Trendsetters on the streets of fashion capitals have been wearing them for some time now, but white jeans as an it winter piece were recently crowned by Bella Hadid. In Aspen, where our favorite stars gather every winter for skiing holidays, Bella swapped the typical après-ski style for this traditionally summer staple. Quite naturally, she immediately caught the attention of fashion enthusiasts who are eagerly waiting to try out this chic trend.

Below, I highlight five ways to style white jeans this winter.

White + leather

The outfit Bella Hadid wore last weekend is fairly simple, but thanks to carefully chosen details, it looks exceptionally chic. She paired straight-leg white jeans with a cropped leather jacket featuring interesting fastenings, a leopard-print bag, boots, and fashion accessories such as a belt, sunglasses, and a hairband. The color palette of this outfit is simple, and each piece will fit perfectly into a capsule wardrobe.

Everything is white

Ever since I saw Bella Hadid’s photo, I cannot stop thinking about why we ever thought white jeans were strictly a summer piece. In winter, everything outside is white anyway, so is it not just as logical for our outfits to echo the colors of nature? That is why this season is the perfect time to try fully white, cozy outfits, from hats to boots.

Relaxed office look

Just as we wear them in summer, white jeans can also be worn in winter business outfits. Pair them with your favorite turtleneck, an oversized blazer, and boots or loafers, and you will certainly have one of the chicest outfits in the office.

Wide white jeans and a soft sweater

Your favorite white sweater will stand out even more this season when paired with stylish white jeans. This combination is pared back and beautiful, yet not overly elegant, making it perfect for everyday wear. You can make this outfit a bit more interesting with a bold red lipstick and carefully chosen accessories.

Shirt pairing

Another foolproof combination that works equally well for the office and dinner with friends: white jeans and an oversized shirt. During winter, you can layer this outfit with a coat, an extra sweater, or a scarf for the perfect layered chic look.
