White Denim Worth Buying
Memorial Day weekend has always felt like the unofficial start of white denim season.
Personally, I’m a believer in white jeans year-round, but there’s something about the Memorial holiday weekend when they feel like the perfect option to wear to a bbq gathering.
Crisp white denim has become a true wardrobe staple. The right pair works well and looks polished with a blazer, a striped sweater, a classic white tee, or oversized button-down.
Stylewise, I am personally drawn to straight-leg, wide-leg, and barrel styles but it is such an individual choice. It’s really up to you and what you feel most confident wearing.
Here's what I think is worth buying right now:
Straight Leg: Levi’s 501
There's a reason the 501 has been around forever. The fit is timeless and they work with everything from loafers to sandals to sneakers. Tonne Goodman, who spent over 20 years at Vogue as Fashion Director and now serves as their Sustainability Editor, has worn these as part of her personal uniform for years. I used to live on the same street as Tonne in the West Village and would spot her in them regularly — and she'd show up to appointments at our office in them too. If they are good enough for Tonne, they are good enough for me!

Favorite Barrel: Zara
My very first post for The Get was about Zara's barrel jeans, so naturally the white version had to make this list.I love this pair because the shape feels modern without looking overly exaggerated.

Favorite Wide-Leg: Agolde & Nili Lotan
The Agolde Ren and Nili Lotan Tribeca Jeans jeans are structured enough to look polished, but relaxed enough to wear casually during the day. I especially love wide-leg white denim paired with minimal sandals, a tank, and cashmere sweater.

Favorite White Denim Shorts: Levi’s & Agolde
Both styles have that slightly vintage, broken-in feel and are easy to wear all summer.
