White Jeans?

I recently saw a magazine ad declaring, "White Jeans Are Back!" I must ask, what is good about that? The whole concept of white jeans perplexes me.

First of all, jeans are meant to be rugged. They are durable and tend to hide dirt well. I remember when colored jeans were fashionable. I had a pair of black jeans, green jeans, and red jeans when I was in junior high school in the late 80s. They were a cross between slacks and jeans. To nice to be jeans, yet too durable and casual to be slacks. They were dressy jeans. White jeans, however take this to the next level. The only attribute they share with traditional jeans are that they are made of denim. They might be more durable than slacks, but they seem to attract dirt and are not meant to be worn by anyone who might want to ever sit down.

Perhaps more importantly, as with most clothing fads, white jeans do not look good on anyone but models. The models in magazines look great in their spring pastels, tight white jeans, and bare feet. But when a normal woman wears white jeans, all attention is drawn to the horrible pants. The white color tends to make your rear end seem twice as wide. And it seems as though those daring women who decide to wear them also tend to be daring in the size department. You will not see a woman wearing loose fitting white jeans. There seems to be a requirement that they be at least one size too small, which tends draws more attention to the fact that you are a unique woman wearing daring white jeans.

And of course, that unavoidable spot of dirt always stands out like a sore thumb.
