The Coolest Jeans Color to Wear With Sandals This Year Was Just Made Official
It girls everywhere have cosigned it.
Wearing blue jeans with thong sandals (and every other type of sandal) is a no-brainer, but this spring, a new go-to denim color trend has arrived. Baggy, laid-back fits are still in but in a color that’s fresh for spring. Longtime It girl Rosie Huntington-Whiteley knows what denim color trend I’m talking about: white jeans. She was just spotted wearing a baggy pair and thong sandals while out and about in the West Village, solidifying that this is *the* denim trend to wear with sandals right now.
Huntington-Whiteley's outfit also featured a black leather funnel-neck jacket, styled with a snake-embossed clutch and black sunglasses. It seems that she isn't the only one pairing white jeans with flip-flops. A daily Instagram scroll is proof, with plenty of chic influencers with different aesthetics wearing the combination. In my opinion, white denim looks a bit more polished and unexpected than blue denim, especially with a casual pair of shoes like sandals. It also offers a perfect way to make your plain outfits look cooler; all it takes is one swap.
Keep scrolling if you’re in the market for a new denim color trend and elevated sandals to pair with it.
