Fact: Opting for this sandal color makes white jeans appear stylish rather than inexpensive.

      White jeans are one of those fashion pieces that evoke a complex affection in me. When paired correctly, they can appear incredibly stylish. However, they are also among the items that can be easily misstepped, as an awkward fit or a wrong styling choice can lead to fashion mishaps. I've always believed that the right footwear is crucial for pulling off an outfit with white jeans. While black shoes are a classic go-to, they can sometimes contrast too harshly with white jeans, giving off a vibe that's more Saturday Night Fever than sleek and minimalist. Brighter hues often fare no better, as they can feel overly loud or discordant against such a clean look. Even light tan, which pairs well with cream and ecru, can occasionally come off as slightly cheap with white for some reason. Recently, however, I came across a combination that might resolve this issue completely: Sabrina Elba wearing white jeans alongside rich brown sandals at Wimbledon. In that moment, everything fell into place.

      At the tennis tournament, Elba achieved an elevated style through careful choices. Her outfit, featuring a short-sleeve blouse, a brown belt, a Bottega Veneta open weave bag, and brown slider sandals, offered a refreshing alternative to the picturesque dresses typically seen at the event. Each piece harmonized beautifully together.

      Unlike black, brown sandals soften the contrast of white jeans instead of emphasizing it. If you've ever been uncertain about how to style white jeans, this could be the pairing to experiment with this summer.
