      In my style guide, white jeans are a must-have for any season; however, I typically wear them most often during summer as they match the fresh, clean vibe of warm weather. While there are numerous ways to style them, my favorite look, in my opinion, is pairing them with sleek flats, like the ones Brooke Shields recently sported. Last week, while in New York City, the legendary '80s supermodel was seen walking down the streets in high-waisted, wide-leg white jeans, ideal for a sunny day. She paired the jeans with a simple beige tank top, a Gucci Giglio Tote Bag, a baseball cap, and the elegant flat shoes—grommet Mary Janes.
