This sandal color ensures that your white jeans ensembles appear stylish rather than inexpensive.

      I’m not entirely sure how I went so long without them, but I just got my first pair of white jeans this month. For years, they somehow slipped under my radar—likely because I considered them challenging to style or prone to stains. However, now that I finally have a pair, I don’t want to sound overly dramatic, but they have completely changed my wardrobe. My summer denim outfits suddenly feel lighter, fresher, and much more sophisticated than anything my trusty blue jeans could provide. The bright white hue adds a luminosity to my daily looks that I honestly didn’t realize I was missing. Being new to white jeans, I've spent the last few weeks trying them on with almost every pair of shoes I own—and it quickly became apparent that the most stylish pairings all featured one common element: brown sandals. Softer than black yet just as striking, brown sandals offer a warm contrast to white denim that gives any outfit a polished look. Choosing a deeper, chocolatey shade will also align with the rich brown trend that has been gaining traction for several seasons now. With its richness and natural sophistication, this color lends a directional edge to any summer ensemble. Need evidence? Just look at Sabrina Elba, who was seen at Wimbledon this month sporting the exact combination. She paired her white jeans with a bright white shirt, dark brown sandals, and a lovely Bottega Veneta bag. The overall impression was fresh, clean, and quintessentially summer—without the need for bold prints or bright colors.
