White-jeans season is far from over. In fact, it's just getting started, according to many fashion people who believe they look even chicer in the colder months. There is something undeniably sophisticated about the hue—it feels crisp, clean, and refreshing among the fallen leaves and autumn temperatures. But as with everything in fashion, styling matters, and when it comes to wearing white jeans, experienced dressers are making a case for skipping sneakers and pairing them with heeled boots instead. One who is backing this jeans-and-shoes formula is Dua Lipa.

While walking around NYC with her husband, Callum Turner, this past weekend, Lipa was photographed in white jeans and black boots. Her denim had a relaxed, boyfriend fit that cut off neatly at the ankle, showcasing her pointed-toe heeled boots. She completed the look with a muted green trench coat, a white T-shirt, and a black belt—three wardrobe staples that ground any outfit.
