What Styles Of White Denim Do French Women Wear
There are 4 main styles of white denim which French women wear during the spring and summer seasons. As always, they tend to stay away from jeans with rips or holes and any sort of embellishments.
Go for a pair of white denim that complements your silhouette. I like to wear flare legs because they help to elongate the leg.
The 4 main styles which Parisian women prefer are straight leg, flare, wide leg, and cropped wide leg.
