White jeans say summer. Bring a pair with you when you head to the beach for a week and wear them with everything. They also look great with all-white sneakers.

Tired of wearing blue jeans? Put them back in your closet and give black jeans a chance. They are extremely versatile and add a cool, effortless vibe to your outfit.

Keep your jeans simple. Go for a straight, clean pair in dark blue that fits like it was made for you. It looks good dressed up and dressed down.
