Noticed some white pants lately looking dingy

 

Time for new pants especially pants that are updated

Bought a couple of pairs of new white jeans this spring. Haven't had a chance to wear either pair since we've been so cold and rainy. (Seattle). Bought one pair of NYDJ when there was a TSV a while back and one pair from Talbots. I like them both and can't wait for the sun to come out.

Hard to get the basics!!!

Talbots has two white jeans ... I like both of them. I wait until there is a sale before I buy. I do not like my white jeans to fit tight. If I'm going to wear tighter fitting jeans they have to be black or very dark indigo. 

 

Modern Ankle - sorry the picture is fuzzy. These fit true to size and are not tight to leg.

Stovepipe - true to size. Looser fit thru legs. I'm 5'5" and they hit me at ankle. They do have a petite version too. These are the pair I purchased this year. The NYDJ were more like the modern ankle, so I didn't see a need for two of same kind.

 

Good luck. Jean buying is such a pain (at least for me).

I would love some new white pants. I don't like ankle pants, ever! But I also can't find white pants that don't show even beige underwear. Once I buy a pair of white pants, no matter where I store them, even covered, they looked in the next year. I don't use bleach in my wash at all, so I'm at a loss at how to get them bright again.

I am so glad to finally see straight leg pants and jeans coming back and leggings and jeggings fading away. Now that prices have risen so much, I am glad I held on to my white jeans and some other things and didn't include them in my many purges doing the lockdown. Am wearing my white jeans tomorrow. It is so hot here and I don't care at all about whether it is officially summer, Memorial Day, etc. I love white pants.
