Some people hoard shoes or are obsessed with bags, but for me, it’s jeans. About 80 percent of my closet is filled with denim, mostly white jeans. I wear them in summer, fall, and winter because they are effortlessly chic and make anything I pair them with look expensive—even “dated” espadrilles. Don’t believe it? Just look at Jennifer Lopez’s recent outfit.
Over the weekend, J.Lo posted a series of photos on Instagram where she was sitting on a bicycle wearing white, cropped, straight-leg jeans paired with a crewneck sweatshirt and Celine espadrilles.

If espadrilles haven’t crossed your mind lately, you’re not alone. Seeing J.Lo style her Celine ones brought back many memories and made me wish I hadn’t donated the pair I wore every day in middle school. To be clear, it’s not just because they were designer that I thought they looked high-fashion; it’s because of the white jeans. The light-wash denim with its minimalist design exudes sophistication, balancing the casual vibe of the espadrilles. Additionally, since the white jeans are a timeless style, they make the “dated” shoes look fitting for 2025, unlike if they were paired with a halter top and blue skinny jeans.
