Frame Denim
I pretty much live in white denim from the first signs of spring to well into fall. Its versatility in going with just about anything makes it a closet essential. But how many is too many? I like to cover the gamut from cropped and flared to straight and skinny. Throw in a frayed edge or distressed leg and I’m happy. They’re the perfect travel companion too, multi tasking from site seeing to bars and dinner. I don’t think I could settle for one style, but my favorites right now are cropped in all varieties. I like a frayed edge and both a wide leg or flared kick. Rolled boyfriends and distressed finishes make up a good part of my rotation too. I’ve found the key to finding the perfect pair is in the thickness of the denim and the amount of stretch, but that’s personal preference. I like white denim to hang more off my frame than darker denim and usually size up from my normal size.

Nice post… especially the crop kick which is my go to style at the moment for my white jeans. I am totally with you on the weight – the thicker the better for me.

Great post! My current favorites are the J Brand Selena cropped flare and CH Emerson slim boy. I may have to give the Rag & Bone a try…

I just ordered the Current Elliot one and two sizes up – I’m with you about hanging a bit on my frame, can’t stand tight white jeans.
