A white T shirt and blue jeans always looks amazing together. And I paired them with a blue blazer to add a smart casual element to the look as well as create a monochromatic outfit with colors.ย 

I have always been a fan of monochrome outfits because you can effortlessly look stylish and elevated in them. I also added a pair of blue loafer mules which are my go to summer pair for work as well as everyday wear.ย 

This outfit is so versatile. You can wear it to so many different occasions and the awesome part is that you can swap the blue with black or white and come up with a whole entire outfit.

Black Graphic Tee + Dad Sandals

I used to wear these chunky sandals a lot like almost 10 years ago and I am glad they are back. So if you own any its time to. take them out and pair with your straight leg jeans. With the ankle length of the jeans, you can easily style them with your dad sandals.ย 

Graphic t shirts are an awesome way to change your t shirt outfits in summer since you really donโ€™t wear a third layer most of the time. These graphic tees add more dimension and an element of personality to your look.ย 

Since the t shirt looked a bit oversized on me because of the sleeve length, I added a thin black belt to create a clear waist line so that I donโ€™t look boxy and short.ย

Puff Sleeve Top + Woven Mule Slide Sandals

I also wanted to create a date night look for you because these jeans are really versatile and you can create so many different looks with them. And who said we cannot wear jeans to date night.ย 

I added a puff sleeve with a bit of print to create a more dressed up and put together look. But the woven mule slide sandals actually complete that look by adding a feminine chic touch to the entire outfit.ย 

I paired it with a matching white crossbody bag, but you can also carry a black bag which is perfect for a night time event.ย 

I feel like this outfit is effortless but at the same time chic and really comfortable way of dressing up for date nights.

Linen Shirt + Espadrilles + Straw Hat

In this outfit I am wearing a full length straight leg jeans which has some ripped detail which can look very casual sometimes. So I paired it with a linen white shirt to give it a bit more elevated look. I always prefer to tuck in my my shirt for looking more put together. ย 

Since these jeans cover my ankle, I paired them with espadrille wedges that have a pointy toe style even though they are close toe which in general elongates your legs rather than drowning them in the jeans. This is a trick I like to follow when I am wearing a full length pants or jeans that cover my toe.

Paired with a straw Fedora hat, this outfit is casual yet elevated and smart way of wearing ripped straight leg jeans.

Bohemian Top + Platform Sandals

The ripped detail always give a casual bohemian look, so ย I paired these long jeans with a bohemian printed top which is lightweight but still looks good for summer since its a bit see through.ย 

To complete this retro bohemian look, I added a pair of platform sandals that are giving me the height I needed with the jeans.ย 

Platform sandals are a great alternative if you hate wearing heels or are uncomfortable walking in them. They give you the height but they are absolutely comfortable to walk in.ย 

I usually donโ€™t go too high in them because otherwise it just looks disproportionate. A 2-3 in heel height feels comfortable and perfect for me.

Grafic Tee + Denim Jacket + Strappy Flats

You can break an all black outfit with a graphic t-shirt which will add a pop of color. I love band tees for that purpose and if styled correctly, they actually look amazing.ย 

In this outfit I paired the black straight leg jeans with a black graphic tee which has pink yellow print that changes up the black monotone look of this outfit. I added a light blue or more like white wash denim jacket which I am sure most of us own.

This also adds a bit of brightness to the outfit. And pairing them with the yellow flats is the perfect pop of color that these black jeans need. It adds some summer brightness and a great way of wearing these black straight leg jeans.

Another everyday slides outfit with these white jeans. A bright colored graphic tee and a bright colored slide like these leather slides from Seychelles are an awesome summer daily casual outfit.ย
