I’ve had a few white jeans in the past but they last only for a year and a half or so and I have to replace them with frequency. The most recent pair came from Uniqulo which my sister got for free (great thing about working at PR company!)and handed down to me but after a year, the color turned gray and the stretch jeans became too much like sweatpants. Since then I’ve been looking for a replacement pair. Thankfully, I found the perfect skinny jeans pattern so I can make them myself! I will be using the Ginger Skinny Jeans patterns from Closet Case Files for the second time to make a white pair of high waisted skinny jeans. You can see my very first try on making jeans here. There were some hurdles to jump (I hated having to change the thread all the time) but I am happy that they are wearable and the fit is pretty good for the first try.
I want this pair to be a bit shorter than the last pair and 5% stretch will be more comfortable to wear than 2% stretch denim I used last time. The back pocket placement should be a bit higher and I might even shorten the back pocket length by 1cm.
In the meantime, here are my white jeans inspirations! Some kind of frayed look at knee might be cute. I’d love to pair with clean button down shirts (maybe one of these Archer shirts) or pair them with chunky Vince high top sneakers I bought recently.
