How To Accessorize the Classic White Shirt & Denim Combo

There are few wardrobe essentials I lean on more than a white top and jeans. The pairing is the epitome of a closet staple. Whatever the style, whether crisp or free flowing, a beautiful white shirt can bring sophistication and elegance to any denim you choose. I chose a Johnny Was top for its dramatic sleeves and length. It is surprising how a top of this nature can be paired with both long and short vests and jackets. Here, accessorized with semi-precious stone and agate jewelry, the white shirt and jeans show a dresser side. The blush-colored leather vest adds a natural texture and enhances the beauty of the shirt's stylish sleeves. Oh, and that leather vest? It is washable! You can also top your white shirt and denim combo with a sleeveless, long vest for transitional weather. It will give you the coverage you need and for the necessary extra warmth. While you are accessorizing any outfit, don’t neglect your back! This sweater vest boasts a stylish vent…you will be seen coming and going! Don’t be afraid of wearing denim on denim. The length of the white shirt breaks up the similar color, with the frayed hem of the jacket adding a totally cool vibe. And please add a colorful embellishment to your white shirt and jeans attire, like this tasseled scarf.  The pop of color is simply fun! When in doubt, reach for your white shirt and denim jeans…you can style the look with anything!
