Unless you’ve set up camp on the Outer Hebrides, you’ll be aware fashion is currently in the midst of a whitewash. No, were not just talking the spring/summer 2012 whitewash, we’re talking about the white-over of the most important wardrobe staple: jeans.

OK, for those who have suddenly buried their head in their hands at the despairing thought of being separated from their beloved blues, fear not. White jeans are mega easy to style and look just as good with a casual slant, or as part of a dressier affair.

How to choose the right pair, we hear you ask? Well, we looked to denim mecca Donna Ida to find the perfect pair with a great fit and in the softest denim possible, and we weren’t disappointed. The Citizens of Humanity Thompson crop jeans in Santorini white had us at hello, and look perfect teamed with flats or heels.

The slim fitting Thompson crop pair feels perfect right now, and paired with either a blouse or a summer knit, it is the ideal addition to your wardrobe for a quick summer update.

Check out our style tips below on how to wear your pair this season!
