Men's Fashion Friday : White Wash Denim

White wash jeans are a great way to mix in a different look while still maintaining a casual style. Keep in mind, even though they are white wash "jeans" they aren't everyday "jeans" so don't over do it in the "wearing department."

The plus side: white jeans are just like denim washed jeans -- they are versatile and can be worn with virtually anything. Not to mention, they are easier to pass off as more formal in the event you need to step up the look a bit! An important note to keep in mind: white jeans have a set season which extends from Memorial Day to Labor Day unless there is a time where an exception to the rule is made on the runways. Other than that, stick to the dates and look forward to pulling out those white jeans every summer!

Here are my favorite picks this season.

MEK Denim Boot Cut in NY White Wash. Crisp, true white and classic MEK embroidery on the back pockets.

True Religion Body Rinse White Wash. Take your basic "True's" and mix in a new look!

True Religion Graphite White Wash in their Ricky Big T style. If you don't want to go completely stark white, then the graphite tint in this pair is perfect. It almost appears as slightly antiqued but makes a great statement!

Levi's 501 Relaxed White Wash. Great buy if you don't want to spend the bigger bucks.

 
7 For All Mankind has a dirted white wash which makes the look distressed and tonal.
