This Jeans and Sandal Formula is the Key to Looking Polished All Summer
White jeans with black sandals is an outfit formula I'll never grow tired of. Discover why I think it's the ultimate summer combination.


Getting dressed in the summer calls for a fresh perspective. With no oversized coats or chunky knits to hide behind, each element of an outfit carries a heavy load. Suddenly, the pressure is on every item to hold its own, both in style and functionality. That’s why I find it invaluable to curate a summer capsule wardrobe built around simple, impactful pieces that work hard individually and play well with others.
Amongst my most relied-upon staples, two pieces continue to stand out: white jeans and black sandals. Making for an outfit combination I don't think I'll ever tire of, this foolproof formula is a pillar of my summer dressing.
White jeans bring a crispness to warm-weather outfits that feels instantly elevated. They’re fresher than classic blue denim, more polished than shorts and surprisingly versatile. Pair them with a linen shirt, a silk cami or even a white tee; white jeans have a way of making everything feel more intentional. But the real magic happens when you anchor them with black sandals.
More polished than summer trainers and more practical than light-coloured footwear, black sandals offer just the right amount of contrast to make an impact when paired with white jeans. They ground the outfit, creating a striking yet wearable look that feels balanced and modern. The combination of clean white and inky black adds subtle dimension.
It’s a formula I come back to across the summer months, dressed up with heeled leather sandals or kept casual with a flat pair. Perhaps best of all, this pairing allows you to do more with less.
