Give your favorite beat-up jeans a day off by trying a pair in white instead. Unlike uptight yachting-club pants, white or off-white jeans are easy and approachable. Navy blazer not required. Courtney Colavita
Cut: Avoid any jeans that could be referred to as tighty whities. They should skim your legs—not constrict them.
Inseam: A little extra length is fine as long as it doesn't result in too much bunching around the ankles.
Stitching: These jeans are best left as a blank canvas. The less obvious the back-pocket detailing the better.
Pockets: You're already circumventing tradition by wearing white jeans. Stick with the basic five-pocket model.
Color: Unlike your blue jeans, which look better the more you wear them, white jeans require a high standard of maintenance. Remember, they should be white, not beige. So become acquainted with bleach.
How to Wear Them: Stefano Gabbana, one half of the duo behind Dolce & Gabbana and D&G, says that white jeans aren't "difficult to comprehend," since they're a variation on an article of clothing every guy is familiar with. Pair them with a trim polo and leather belt for a polished, fuss-free look.
