Women of all ages can wear white jeans especially women in their fifties. You just need to know what is the best style for your body shape before you indulge in the great white jean.

HOURGLASS & PEAR:
If your a lady with curves follow these simple rules when shopping for white jeans.
- Do go for a higher-rise as this will elongate your body and banish a muffin top instantly. (The styles below both have a rise of 9.5 inches.)
- If you are more heavy on the hips the style for you is a kick flare, that’s slimming on the thigh and then kicks out into a flare at the knee. This will give balance to your widest area your hips and lengthen the leg.
- If you have a slight curve then you can go for a slimmer leg shape such as no 2 below. Roll the hem up to the ankle to lengthen your leg and to give you a cropped option.
