Stealing a page from the Jackie O stylebook needn’t be expensive, especially where white summer denim is concerned. Just ask fashion critic Cathy Horyn. After meting out a rap on the wrist to stratospherically-priced designer fashions (ahem, Balmain) where “much of the appeal is in the price,” she showed she can walk the walk….in white jeans from Walmart costing a paltry . “Love them,” she notes. “They will be part of my summer wardrobe.” She no doubt picked up a classic, classy bootcut or wide-legged pair from Norma Kamali’s line for the mass retailer. Like flip flops and straw beach totes, white summer jeans are not a “keep forever” wardrobe item. So scrimp accordingly.
