"Forget your fear of red wine spills and dirty lawn chairs--you need a pair of white jeans this summer. Get the skinny on finding the right pair, what to wear &amp;#x27;em with once you do, and keeping &amp;#x27;em clean, after the jump. Step 1: Finding the right pair for your bod is absolutely essential. Fit matters more with a white jean than it does with regular denim, because the color is much less forgiving. Keep the trendy fits (high waist, low rise, boyfriend) to good old blue jeans and choose a more classic shape for your white ones, so you don&amp;#x27;t end up looking like a fashion victim. And you don&amp;#x27;t need to be a size two to wear &amp;#x27;em--if you&amp;#x27;re not comfortable with anything very fitted, opt for a pair of trouser jeans that have a wider leg, back flap pockets, and a flat front. You can also wear a long top or a tunic that covers your derriere. I think white straight leg jeans look good on just about everyone, and if you&amp;#x27;ve got the guts to wear skinnies, even better. Step 2: It sounds like a daunting task, but you&amp;#x27;ve got to keep your white jeans impeccably clean. Carry a travel-sized stain stick with you when you wear them (I&amp;#x27;m a totally devoted fan of the very effective, very easy to use OxiClean Spray-A-Way) to avert any cleaning crises, and don&amp;#x27;t be afraid to use a little bleach in the wash. Fill your washer, add the detergent and bleach, and let the jeans soak for a couple of hours before actually starting the cycle. Avoid high temps in both the washer and dryer, which can cause yellowing due to high alkaline levels. Step 3: Put a look together. I love that white jeans can be dressed up or down, depending on your mood and personal style. Here are three ways to wear &amp;#x27;em that I&amp;#x27;m totally obsessed with: ADD SOME COLOR. A bright jewel tone pops so much more against a glowing white backdrop. Throw on a few ethnic-inspired accessories and a pair of cork wedges, and your Friday date night outfit is complete. GO FOR SOMETHING CLASSIC. White jeans remind me of the equestrian thing, so tailored and sophisticated and a little bit masculine. A chambray shirt and brown leather accessories (or a ribbon belt!) are a great summer alternative to the knee-high boots look. I really love this look with a cropped white jean. EMBRACE YOUR INNER HIPPIE. The bohemian trend (as Suze so brilliantly showed us the other day) is still big right now, and it lends itself really well to white jeans. Wear a floaty floral top, a floppy hat, and a chunky pair of platforms for any summer evening. Do you own a pair of white jeans yet? What do you wear yours with? Any secrets for keeping &amp;#x27;em clean? And which of these three looks is most like your own personal style? Share! Add glamour.com to your Google homepage Follow Slaves to Fashion on Twitter!
