The Underrated Denim Trend That Will Make Your Outfits Look Expensive

Jeans are on heavy rotation in my weekly wardrobe. As a denim-obsessed fashion editor, I own enough styles, silhouettes, and washes to last me a lifetime. But there's one denim trend that elevates my outfits above all others—especially when paired with the right pieces—and that is (drumroll, please) white jeans.
