As a rebel myself, I really enjoyed learning about the history of white jeans. A little fashion history lesson teaches us that white denim became very popular when it came to pants for high school students back in the 1950s and 1960s. This happened because rules were made by school administrators throughout the country prohibiting blue jeans to be worn to school by students.
So, these students got creative and started to bleach their blue jeans to turn them into white jeans and that, my folks, is the history of white jeans and we are here for it.
Levi Strauss and Company caught on to this amazing trend and the rest, they say, is history. In today’s market, you can find white jeans for men, women, and children at department stores, high-end stores, and even discount stores or you can order them online for an array of different companies.
Since white pretty much looks great with any color, they are an amazing piece of clothing to have in your wardrobe and should become a fashion staple for you as they have for me.

Women can even wear a summer sweater with a pair of white straight-leg jeans if the weather is less than perfect to wear a tank top by itself.
Men can opt for a clean, crisp pair of tennis shoes and a white tee with a colorful button-down shirt or even a denim shirt left unbuttoned and thrown on top with their white skinny jeans for a casual yet clean-cut look and style. If it is chilly outside, a camel coat will look great or even a leather trench coat.
