Labor Day is practically eons away, so don’t think twice about hitting the streets in some seasonally appropriate light jeans. Be they stone wash or stark white, light bottoms will keep you looking fresh to death all summer long – just beware of freshly painted benches and children playing in mud puddles.
Outfit 1: A quality pair of distressed light jeans don’t have to be impeccably spotless to retain an inherent sharpness, making them ideal street garb. Paired with your favorite tee or a sheer cardigan, light jeans will carry you comfortably and fashionably throughout the summer months with minimal stress about where you sit and what you eat. It’s a simple equation: faded coffee stains and cigarette burns = character.
Outfit 2: For the more fastidious fashionisto, white jeans are an essential summer wardrobe item. Pair with some killer dock shoes for a sophisticated daytime look, or channel a sexy caribbean vibe by slipping into a gossamer linen button-up, slapping a straw fedora on your head and sparking up a Cuban. Unlike stonewashed bottoms, white jeans must be flaunted in a pristine state of snowiness, so consider investing in the Excaliber of clean – a Tide stain pen.

Hmmm. Maggie M might disagree with you on the white jeans treatment.
