Bella Hadid Makes the Case for White Denim, Year-Round

By Alexus Mosley

Consider this your reminder that white denim doesn’t need sunshine to work. Bella Hadid is quietly reinforcing the idea that white jeans aren’t just a summer indulgence but a year-round essential when styled with intention.

For a casual walk through town, Hadid leaned into a crisp black-and-white palette, anchoring the look with relaxed, mid-rise white denim cut in a softly tapered silhouette. The jeans strike that elusive balance between structure and ease. They’re polished enough to feel deliberate but relaxed enough to feel modern. Crucially, the denim appears thick and opaque, a subtle but important detail that keeps the look clean and elevated.

Up top, she paired the jeans with a simple white long-sleeve tee layered beneath a collarless black leather jacket, keeping the proportions sharp and unfussy. The cropped leather silhouette adds contrast and edge, ensuring the white denim never veers too pristine or precious. Her accessories remained minimal and considered (slim black sunglasses, a classic headband, and black heeled ankle boots). One of the most reliable styling partners for straight or tapered jeans. The result? Great style that isn’t seasonal but mood-board worthy.
