Long Summer Tops to Wear With White Jeans that Hide Your Belly
There’s nothing as fresh and chic as wearing a fabulous pair of bright, white jeans in the summer. But if you carry more weight than you’d like, around your middle or bum, white jeans may seem like a scary thought. No worries. Remember, you don’t have to tuck your top into your white jeans or settle for a short top tucked out, either.

Wearing a long summer top with white jeans solves the problem. Plus, it can be a very classy look! Here are five new, long summer tops paired with white jeans that prove my point.

1. Artsy Tunic + White Straight Leg Jeans
A long top or sweater with black leggings may be your go-to outfit in winter, but in summer, it’s too heavy. Instead, switch it to an artsy tunic top and a pair of white, cropped skinny or straight-leg jeans.
This artsy top with the abstract painterly print is light and as pretty as a Monet painting! It’s just long enough to cover your private bits, and the three-quarter length sleeves with the dotted cuffs add some playfulness. Pink and blue accessories tie the whole look together!

2. Long Linen Top + White Cropped Flare Jeans
Who doesn’t love linen in summer? A long linen top with white jeans creates a cool, refreshing look. I love this fabulous aqua shade and the sporty style of this Henley-style top.
Cropped flare jeans are easy to wear when they are nice and slim like this, and the flare is not too exaggerated. Pair with strappy nude sandals, a white hobo bag, and a few colorful bracelets for a gorgeous summer look.

3. Long Black & White Tunic + White Crop Wide Legs
Have you tired of pastel or super sunny brights in summer? You’ll always look sophisticated in the heat wearing a combo of black and white! This chic tropical tunic with the sexy side slits looks great with any white jeans, but why not try something different like these trendy cropped wide legs with the frayed bottom?
The key to wearing these and not looking squat is a bit of a lift. These cute fringe sandals with low-block heels are suitable in sync. See the way the fringe mirrors the fringe pineapple tops in print. It’s little details like this that make this look work. Don’t forget a cute denim jacket for when it gets cool!

4. Long Print Tunic + White Cargo Pants
Cargo styles are trending; at one time, they were all big and baggy- not a great look with a long tunic top. But now we’re seeing slim cargo pants, and boy, are they cute. This cute pair works well with this Mediterranean blue tunic. The top pocket will be covered, but the lower pockets will add interesting detail. White sandals and a white bag keep the focus on this gorgeous print.

5. Linen Poncho Tunic + Linen Pants
I thought I would throw this in for all of you ladies who like white pants but are not into jeans. If you like a boho look- this can work. It’s a long linen tunic poncho over loose linen pants, giving off a free-spirited, artsy look. Black accessories add a touch of drama and sophistication!

Here are a few more long tops and tunics that would look wonderful with white jeans this summer.
If you prefer leggings over jeans, all these tops will work with white leggings/jeggings, too, so long as your bottom and crotch are covered. White leggings are semi-transparent, and you need to be covered front and back, or it’s too much information, if you know what I mean.
Hi,
Thank you for finally giving me ideas for using my white pants again. I bought them a while back, and I was wearing them with a few subtle solid-colored tops, but then it got boring, and I packed my white pants in the never wear section of the wardrobe again. I liked the linen shirt idea and will try it out tonight when I go to the movies.
Best

I love white skinny jeans and pants — they are more summery, it’s true! But I notice (on myself) that white tight-fitting skinnies and leggings are not as flattering (they show off the cellulite if you’re not trim and fit!) unless the tunic or dress is long enough to cover the bumpy areas of the thighs. I still wear my black leggings in summer, just as I would wear a black sundress or maxi skirt. I like black leggings in summer with white linen tunics and other summery tops. Silver metallic sandals keep the look lighter, I think.
