Best-Quality High-Rise Ecru Jeans
Here I’m wearing Berg & Berg Arthuro in Ecru paired with Heritage 9.1 Vintage 1980 Socks in Turmeric and Alden LHS Penny Loafer in Dark Brown Suede.
White trousers can be worn all year long, but I know some people will disagree with that. There’s no right or wrong in this situation, it’s a matter of personal opinion. As long as something works with your personal style and you feel comfortable in it, it shouldn’t matter what other people say.
When it comes to light-coloured trousers, fit is the most important thing. If they’re too tight, they can quickly look unflattering or even inappropriate, drawing attention in the wrong way and ruining the overall look. But when done right, they show confidence and often complement the entire outfit, giving your jacket or shirt a chance to stand out. So if you have a great jacket in a contrasting colour that you want to highlight, this is the way to do it.
I prefer a high rise for all types of trousers because it creates more flattering body proportions and looks more elegant. But I also understand that for some body types, this might not be the best option. For me personally, a high rise with a straight leg is what I would define as the perfect timeless fit. I also prefer my trousers to end just above the shoes, around mid-ankle, so they don’t stack up on your shoes. This gives the trousers room for a clean drape and makes them look like they were tailored to your body.
Today there are many brands making solid jeans, but in this article I focused on those with the fit that I personally prefer - high rise with straight leg.

These are all nice, high-quality options but now it all comes down to which one will fit you better. I always suggest to check the measurements and compare them with measurements of your favourite trousers/jeans so you can visualise the differences or similarities and easily decide which model will work for you.
