White denim, a classic wardrobe piece that I had such a hard time getting right. Growing up, every few years I would purchase a new pair, then never wear them as often as I had hoped. Honestly, I think white denim is just hard to get right. It has to check a lot of boxes. Number one, and most importantly, they can’t be see through. I’ve definitely tried on my fair share of denim where you can see my undies straight through them, or the full outline of the pockets - the worst! Fit can also be tricky. I find that they run bigger on me than typical blue or black styles, so finding the right fit can be challenging. But, when you find that perfect pair, you fall in love and never want to be without!
After scouting, ordering and trying on five different styles, I finally found the ultimate pair last spring from Topshop, the Straight Denim in white. I knew I wanted a straight leg, nothing too bulky but I didn’t want them to be skin tight either. I also went a size smaller than I typically go for and I’m so glad I did, they fit like a glove! I got so much wear out of these last Spring/Summer. They bring a nice fresh feel to an outfit, chic for the office but also great for casual weekend wear. Plus they’re a nice change up from the black and blue denim I wear throughout the year.
All in all, I’m so happy with my purchase! They’re now an essential wardrobe item for me, well worth the chase. So my only advice is, take your time finding the perfect fit for you, you won’t be disappointed. I’ve rounded up a few pairs I’m loving at the moment, including the pair I picked up last year (they’re still in stock) - happy chasing!
