13 Best White Jeans, Tested & Approved by Glamour Editors

A 2024 spring denim trend is the straight-leg jean, which is more relaxed than the skinny jean but more tailored than wider styles. Levi’s iconic Wedgie high-rise, slim-cut jean hits right at the ankle and has back pockets that slightly curve inward to highlight your butt. Reviewers say they appreciated that the pants’ design features a button fly (not a zipper), which lays flat and feels more comfortable around the tummy. They note that the denim loosens over time, so you’re safe to order true to size (even if they feel tight around the hips at first). Dress them up with a fitted blazer or opt for a more casual look with a tank and sneakers.

The fit of these J.Crew straight-leg jeans is relaxed but still structured, with a high-rise waistband that’ll remind you of your favorite vintage pair. “If I could live in sweatpants, I would, but I gotta hand it to J.Crew for making the best-fitting jeans that look polished and feel comfortable enough to wear all spring and summer long,” says Glamour senior editor Jessica Radloff. You can choose between two whites: a stark, classic white and a more yellow-toned ecru. There are also three inseams, helpfully.

When her Madewell jeans are in the wash (or stained, let’s be real), Glamour’s Griggs says she reaches for these Mango bottoms, which she likes so much that she owns them in both white and black. “I know they only have 1% of spandex in them, but somehow, these pants are so stretchy and comfortable—almost like leggings,” she says. “The white is closer to ivory, so it’s a tad warmer. That doesn’t quite match my white T-shirts, but it’s excellent mixed with all other colors. The hem is frayed, which adds a more relaxed detail to my outfits.”

These high-rise jeans are Amazon bestsellers for their inseam options, bright white wash, and—above all—price point. “I swear by Gloria Vanderbilt’s Amanda jeans. I’ve definitely got hips and thighs, and mine always fit in these jeans,” says Glamour copy director Talley Sue Hohlfeld. “I can buy them online and not worry about having to try them on. They’re well made, and I love this trim style. They come in regular, long, and short lengths, and since I’m almost 5'2," it’s nice to not have to hem them.”

Sizes: 4–18 | Rise: High-rise | Inseam: 3 options (29" to 33") | Material: 71% cotton, 27% polyester, 2% spandex

This version of Everlane’s bestselling Way-High jeans has extra room around the waist and a slimmer, straighter leg with longer inseam options—a blessing for anyone with long legs. Reviewers say that the pants have the ideal amount of stretch for movement and an extra high-rise fit. They like that the organic cotton bottoms hold their shape over wear and that its white is clean and bright.

Sizes: 23–33 | Rise: High-rise | Inseam: 2 options (29" and 31") | Material: 98% regenerative cotton, 2% elastane

Yup, white skinny jeans still have a place in your wardrobe (if you know how to style them). We prefer this stretch-denim pair from Gap with a relaxed tee and structured shoes like platform loafers. They’re also a hit with the Glamour team: “They’re ultra comfortable and blissfully mid-rise, which is tough to come by,” says Glamour commerce director Brie Schwartz. The mid-rise cut hits right below the belly button, and its material is extra stretchy for a comfy wear.

Sizes: 24–35 | Rise: Mid-rise | Inseam: 3 options (24.5" to 33") | Material: 94% cotton, 6% elastane

Free People’s retro-vibes pants fit close to the hips before flaring dramatically below the knee. The borderline bell-bottoms have pleating that runs along the legs, accentuating and lengthening them. Wear them with espadrilles, heels, or boots (or, if you’re super tall, flats, since the flared jeans have a super-long inseam).

Sizes: 24–32 | Rise: High-rise | Inseam: 33.5" | Material: 91% cotton, 7% polyester, 2% elastane

These straight-leg jeans sit low and loose on the hips for a truly chill look, with built-in cuffs that only add to the “I just threw this on” vibe. Better yet, they’re made of nonstretch denim that gets deliciously slouchy with consistent wear. Throw on a white tank top and some slingbacks, then go enjoy brunch.

Sizes: 23–34 | Rise: Low-rise | Inseam: 27" (cuffed), 30" (uncuffed) | Material: 100% organic cotton

In the market for a straight-leg jean that’s not wildly high-rise? Reformation’s cool-girl, vintage white pant is for you. It’s a wee bit fitted at the waist, then relaxed through the leg, and doesn’t dig into your stomach. The style is quite versatile; half-tuck a top into it, pull on a cropped tank and cardigan, and finish the look with loafers, kitten heels, or a fisherman sandal.

Known for its shapewear, it may come as no surprise that Spanx’s jeans for tummy control are game-changing. Glamour’s Schwartz says the practically skinny pair was her first foray into the category. “They were admittedly really tough to get on (all that snatching comes at a price), but I was impressed by how smoothing they are and how the built-in shaping front panel makes my undies less noticeable. Plus, once on, they are comfy and refreshingly mid-rise.” It’s perhaps worth noting that the front pockets are just for show (in the effort to create a seamless silhouette), but there are two fully functioning back pockets.

“For those intimidated by the possibility of snow white jeans, this off-white pair from Madewell is the perfect solution,” says Glamour senior editor Stephanie McNeal. “Their creamy off-white hue is more ivory than alabaster, a perfect quiet luxury shade that won’t leave you worried every time you sit down that you’re getting dirt on them. I also love how soft yet structured they are, and the fact that they come in tall and petite lengths.”
