I can’t believe I found them. A pair of white jeans that I actually love. I’ve always loved white denim on other people, but every time I tried a pair on I was just . . . no. They were see-through and too thin or super stiff and uncomfortable and never, ever flattering. I pretty much gave up years ago but when Chico’s asked us to take a look at their So Slimming Girlfriend Collection, I thought I’d give them a try them in white. Just in case.
Those babies are not only my new favorites but they’re ridiculously comfortable. The distressing is covered up with patches on the inside so there’s no skin exposed and the fabric is stretchy, soft and holds its shape. I even like the way my butt looks in them, which is pretty much my biggest (haha) problem to overcome when wearing white.
Wearing:
Chico’s Destructed Girlfriend Ankle Jeans (Size 00R, also in petite sizing)
Marvelous Striped Tee (Size 00)
Sizing
Chico’s has a different sizing system, so I thought I’d try on a few to make sure I was able to accurately explain the sizes. Their pants run from 000-4 with half sizes. I am typically a size 6/28 and preferred the size 00 in Chico’s sizing. The 000 were just a bit too tight and the 0 were just a bit too baggy.
White Denim Size 000 (A bit too tight)
This size was okay, but it pulled a bit too much for my liking. Especially around my butt. They stretch so there wasn’t any muffin top, though!
White Denim Size 00 (My Favorite Size)
These were perfect. No muffin top, no excess pulling and super comfy.
White Denim Size 0 (A bit looser)
These would actually be great if I wanted them a bit looser. That was the coolest part of Chico’s denim . . . all three sizes would have worked, it was really just a matter of what look I wanted.
Other Favorites
Indigo Patchwork Girlfriend Ankle Jeans (Size 00)
I loved the patch detail on these jeans. Definitely on-trend and not uncomfortable and stiff or scratchy like some patched jeans can be. Available in regular (28″ inseam) or petite (26″ inseam) sizing.
Girlfriend Destructed Crop Jeans (Size 00)
If you’re looking for a pair of holey girlfriend jeans that don’t show skin, these are for you. They can be worn rolled at the bottom but I kind of liked the length of the regular hem (cropped). They’re also available in petite sizing. (I’m 5’4″ so the cropped length of the regular was perfect on my height).

Here are the jeans I liked and some awesome pieces of jewelry that caught my eye and would look great with the denim.

PS – A huge thank you to Chico’s for sponsoring this post. I’m ECSTATIC that I finally found a pair of white jeans I feel comfortable wearing. And to our readers, thank you SO much for your continued support. It does not go unnoticed and is very much appreciated!
1. You look fabulous and cute.
2. You must’ve read my mind because just hours ago I was wishing that I could wear white jeans. They just never look right on me for the reasons you explained.
3. Their sizing is annoying. However, thank you for your thorough pictures and review!
4. Chico’s wasn’t on my radar but seeing how great you look in your white denim, I’m going to give it a go!
Where are your shoes from?! Love them!
These are almost exactly the same . . . I love the leg-lengthening color of them! http://rstyle.me/n/cm3htjbcujf
1. THANK YOU!
2. Me too . . . white jeans are so fun but I could never get them right.
3. You’re welcome – hope it helped!
4. Me neither! Let us know what you think!
So with the weird sizing… would that 000 fit someone Shana’s size? Or would that still be too big?
It would be too big . . . Shana is a 24/25 and although the 000’s were tighter on me, they’d still be too big for her. I think they might be good for a 26/27?
Gah sizing is driving me a little bonkers lately. I keep finding stores with cute jeans and shirts and when I try on, their 0 is huge, and I know I’m not nearly the smallest lady out there.
You look amazing Scotti in these white jeans! Just today, I saw two ladies, one maybe 19 and the other 40/50ish with completely different figures and they, too, rocked their white jeans! I am definitely going to Chico’s this weekend to try them on and thanks for the tips on the sizing.
