White Denim Buying Guide S/S 2011

March 24, 2011

In spite of there still being snow on the ground here, white jeans season in nearly upon us, and we strongly endorse getting into a pair (or two). The guiding purchasing principle? Let the white denim do the talking (as it's already talking pretty loudly). In other words, no funky cuts, no colored rivets, no contrast stitching, no distressing. Or as Suprametist artist Kazimir Malevich would say: "Just white jeans." Here are a few of our favorites this season.

	7 for All Mankind Austyn Straight Leg Jeans $169 A 34" inseam, which is good for taller MBs, and a slightly wider leg opening (18") for those wanting to stay clear from any "skinny" association. The pocket logo can be removed in seconds. You can get 20% off this pair with discount code BASTARD20, making them $135.20.
	Adriano Goldschmied Protege Jeans $162 These jeans, along with a fine pair of stems, graced the MB masthead when this site launched nearly four years ago. They're great white jeans. Unfortunately this season's inseam measures only 32.5", so they will signal a flood in our office, but may work for you.
	Citizens of Humanity 'Sid' Straight Leg Jeans $154 Long inseam (34.5") and fairly narrow leg opening (17") create slim, not skinny look.
	Alexander McQueen White Selvage Jeans $475 Alexander McQueen committed suicide just over a year ago, and design was taken over by Sarah Burton, who we dare say is at least as good, if not better than the brand's deceased namesake.
