Forget the white after labor day rule! White is a year-round color, or at least a spring color, so lets break out those white jeans for spring time.
Do you ever wonder where that “white after labor day rule” came from? I certainly did, so I did a bit of digging and this is what I found. It turns out it was an 1920’s high society rule that dictated the upper classes from the lower classes, since they would take trips for the summer and during hot summers would wear light white clothing. Also, because coal was burned during the cooler months and that would stick to white clothing, so you didn’t want to look all sooty. So, can you wear white jeans this coming Thursday? Well are you trying to impress some snooty people on the upper east side, shovel a bit of coal, or feel like you must strictly adhere to a set of very old fashion rules, then by all means stow away those white jeans till June. But me…I’m breaking all the rules and also making sure to Scotchgard my pants, since I know I’m bound to spill a thing or two haha.
There are so many ways to style white jeans for spring. I chose to pair mine with my favorite color of all time…PINK! Yup, I’m a girl and I love pink. I also love pretty much every color, so throwing in this pastel shade of blue with the hot pink really paired very nicely together. It’s a color combo I wouldn’t normally think about pairing, but hey, sometimes that’s what you need to do in order to re-work your closet.

I kept the look casual with distressed white jeans and my awesome pair of chucks, my Momma got me for my birthday. This pair slips on easily and I never have to worry that my shoe has come untied. Super quick and simple for us busy ladies on the go. I felt so comfy, yet chic for running around the town and linking up with a fellow blogger babe, Lucielle Salomon, who I met earlier this year at the Orlando Makeup Show.
P.S. My tip for keeping white tennies nice and clean, is to clean them every time before you put them away. I use Huggies baby wipes to clean mine; they scrub well and get all the dirt and scuffs off.
Well, this little lady also has a pair of destroyed white jeans!!! Yup, you will see this trend popping up all over this spring. So, head on over to see how Lucielle styled hers in Two Ways to Wear White Ripped Jeans. I wonder if people were thinking, “whats up with these two”, as we were meandering around town haha. Blue and white was on both of our minds. I’d love to hear how you style your white jeans if you have a pair, and if you don’t I really suggest adding them to your wardrobe. Just make sure to Scotchgard those babies first, you never know what you may sit on!!

I never really understood the white after labor day rule. I never really wear white anymore though because kids have dirty hands that like to get all over anything I wear that is white lol
I am one of those people that will only wear white from Memorial Day until Labor day. I can’t wait to start up again!
It’s so hot in Texas we wear white whenever we want! My rule is White starts at Easter and goes through Labor Day. By Memorial Day it’s so hot here most people are wearing shorts or short dresses to stay cool. Love these looks!
Yah I have to be careful with white too haha. I have 2 boys!
haha too cute Robin! We each have our own quirks and style!!
Very true it’ll be too hot soon in FL for long pants!
Love how you styled your white jeans. I’m just not a white jeans wearer. I love the look of the ripped knees!
I got some white capris for the spring and summer. I will, however, put them away for fall, and bring out my camel and cream jeans. I’m a rule follower! 😉
I love those white jeans. I’ve never much paid attention to that labor day rule. Anyway, I live in California where it pretty much always feels like summer anyway.
I love white jeans! I have a pair and I love how you can dress them up or down, wear with any shoe and any top! So versatile!
That’s exactly why I love them too Kristina!!
Yup, here in FL it always feels like summer too!
Haha too cute Terri!
I really want a pair of white jeans now I am definitely going to get some this week 🙂
I have never been much for white jeans personally, but you are certainly rocking it! I have never understood the whole don’t wear white after Labor Day thing either.
I’m not a big white jeans fan, not because I don’t think they are cute, but because whenever I wear white I feel like I’m a magnet for stains. I love the long jacket you styled your white jeans with, it might be a great way to allow me to wear white and not get dirty.
I really love these distressed white jeans. I don’t know if I’m brave enough to wear white on thighs, but maybe I’ll give it a try this season.
Ohh awesome Victoria! I would love to see how you style them!
hahah I think so many of us worry about that too Cindy! I scotch guard mine and I have definitely had to replace a few pairs.
You should at least try a pair on 😉 There are so many styles of white pants!!
Thank you Dawn!! 😀
I would really want to buy a pair of ripped white jeans. Love them.
Definitely have to be careful wearing white but these are cute! Can wear with anything and everything because they are WHITE!! Cute pic!
AS a mom of two little ones, I pretty much always have something on me. White pants would be a bad idea. Maybe once the boys are a bit older.
I absolutely love the white! It’s so cute!
I need some new white jeans.
I always think about that “rule” in my head and kind of laugh at it. I will wear what I want and no one is going to stop me from wearing white when I want to (except at a wedding..that is a big no-no in my book. ONLY the bride wears white that day!).
Your outfit is so springy. Your post is a reminder for me to pull out my white jeans.
So pretty! I don’t have a pair of white jeans but definitely want some!
I have never owned a pair of white jeans before, but the look is so springlike. I just can’t do it…with our dog and clumsy me…it would be a short life for them.
White jeans are such a fashion staple for the spring and summer months. They can be dressed up or dressed down, that is the best part.
Totally agreed!! They are awesome!!
Those are two beautiful styles and they’re really perfect for the season. I’ve always liked white in Spring, they’re fresh on the eyes and they’re not that warm.
As a mom of two little ones, I rarely wear anything white for fear of getting it dirty! These white jeans are cute though.
Really cute outfits!! Honestly I never wear white maybe a shirt I wear has a bit of white but a plain white shirt nope. I am way too clumsy lol… You both look really pretty though <3
