LMAO....I agree.

I haven't thought of white jeans being fashionable since the early 90s;therefore, I do not suppose I will be much help with your question.

make sure the fit of your white jeans are excellent. light colored jeans, imo, tend to show more imperfections than darker jeans.

Check out Phat Guido's WAYWT photos. He does the white jean thing well.

White jean are summery to me, so light-colored gingham shirts and Purcells like PS guy mentioned. Also gin & tonic as accessory.

They're not particularly hard to wear well.

Wear them with a light blue shirt, loafers or similar casual shoes (suede's a good option) and a sports jacket in a flat colour (navy never fails). It's a very common in Northern Italy as a casual but elegant look.

It helps if you're tall and slim, but that applies to most clothing anyway.

He looks incredible for a 4-year old. Where did you find that?

Very nice, a paddock style buttoning stance as well as hacking ticket pocket and a throat button closure.

I lol'd. EDIT: Now that I look closer, is he actually holding a credit card??? --- Back to the OP, I like white jeans with any very brightly colored polo shirt and tan suede shoes in the summer.
