Monocle's Robert Bound extols the virtues of white denim
Monocle contributing editor Robert Bound celebrates white denim as a summer staple, offering style advice and cultural commentary. He advises against super-white or super-tight fits, recommending a hue between writing paper and a cricket jumper. Bound suggests pairing white denim with brown suede or canvas shoes, a collared shirt in a dark non-black color, and a matching jacket. He references a French photographer's anecdote about an Italian man in white jeans atop a summit, and channels the song "You're So Vain" as the fabric's unofficial anthem. The piece includes an image of Take That in 1993 and links to further Monocle fashion articles.
