White Jeans Always Look Good, But This is the Sandal Colour That Makes Them Look Chicest
White jeans are trending—this is the sandal colour trend that makes them look best.
If there’s one denim trend I’m recommending this summer, it’s white jeans. Whilst light-wash and vintage-blue pairs will always have a place in our wardrobes, there’s something about crisp white denim that feels especially elevated during the warmer months.
That said, styling white jeans can feel like slightly unfamiliar territory—particularly when it comes to footwear pairings. As we move away from boots and loafers and fully into sandal season, finding the right pairing isn’t always as natural as it seems. But this week, while scrolling through Instagram in search of warm-weather outfit inspiration, I came across the chic sandal trend that makes white jeans look instantly more refined. Posting just in time for the shift in season, Elsa Hosk styled her white jeans with a pair of simple brown sandals.
Rather than opting for stark black styles—or even the trending pop-of-red sandals fashion people are gravitating towards right now—the soft brown hue created a much more cohesive finish against the bright white denim. Still firmly within the neutral family, the rich, earthy tone adds warmth and depth to an outfit without compromising its versatility.
Keeping the rest of her outfit pared-back with a boxy white T-shirt and oversized sunglasses, Hosk created an easy summer formula I know I’ll be relying on for months to come.
