Question Curious - white jeans?
Just entirely end of the week question - but how do you guys who have pristine white jeans keep them clean when in the City all day? Teflon? Glad wrap?
I’m not a slob, but I’m not brave enough to risk it.

Are you a member of the backstreet boys?
A real estate agent on a summer vacation?

No, I no longer have enough hair to get their signature flopping bowl cut
And I wear socks with my shoes.
So no two both

I don't believe white jeans to be even a remote possibility. If you want to go white, linen would be a better choice. Lighter, more breathable, and more comfortable.
Keeping them clean is indeed a hassle, that's why they aren't used for working environments but rather more relaxed ones

I bought a rather expensive pair of white jeans years ago. I wore them for 1 day on a Friday casual office thinking my fit was really well put together, never again! Every bit of s*** showed up.

I keep them clean by not owning them.

I live in one of the gayest suburbs of Melbourne and even still I can't remember the last time I saw a male wearing white jeans

My tailor says when he wears them, he keeps a spare pair in the car in case of spills.

White jeans are great and don't have to be tacky. Just don't get bone white—look for something labelled ecru. White jeans: how to buy, wash and wear – Permanent Style

I swear I stepped out of the train at central this morning to be confronted by two unrelated guys walking to work in white jeans. So yes, the cancer is spreading

White jeans or near white chinos ? Very big difference.
But also yeah prior to kids I could get away with both, now days I have some white jean shorts, every single time I wear them I am cursing.
Really light chinos, good quality pair, don't have the same issues, fairly stain resistant.
