I have an extensive nightly facial skincare routine but I realized that I have failed to share the other half of my nighttime self care process. Besides my facial skincare, I always have an entire process for my body, hair, feet and hands. I never really prioritized anything else besides my face but I’ve noticed a definite need now that I’m in my late 40’s and also in perimenopause. Everything is so dry on my body – head to toe, so I had to begin a regular routine of treating all parts of my body in order to help manage my dry skin and hair. I do rotate and test out different products so I will update this post in the future with any new additions or removals from my routine. For now, here is my current nightly hair, feet, nail and body care routine.

My Nightly Hair and Body Care Routine

Body Care Routine

This changes depending on my skin and time of year but I always apply a body cream, lotion or oil each night after I get out of the shower. Here are the two I am currently rotating between.

Naturium The Glow-Getter Multi-Oil Body Butter

I usually rotate between either of these body creams each night. I find that the best way to apply body products is on lightly damp skin. It traps that moisture in and I find that my skin is not as dry. This Body Butter is a multi-oil body butter that intensely nourishes, hydrates and soothes the skin. It has a light vanilla/coconut scent that isn’t overpowering or lingering once absorbed into the skin. There is a reason that this continues to be a top seller for the brand because it’s one of the best body butters I’ve ever tried.

Salt & Stone Body Cream

This body cream is creamy, rich and smooth while absorbing in just a few minutes. While the texture feels heavy to the touch, I was really surprised how quickly they absorb while leaving a silky, smooth finish to the skin. The key ingredients are seaweed extract and spirulina which help to soothe and restore the skin. Additionally the body creams contain argan oil to promote skin elasticity, squalane to help the skin retain moisture and saccharide isomerate which delivers last moisture all day long. The scents are what keep me coming back though. They last for so long and smell divine. My favorite scent is the Saffron and Cedar which smells very similar to the uber popular and cult classic Baccarat Rouge 540.

Foot Care Routine

Once my body care is finished and my skincare routine is done, I will move on to my foot care routine. It usually just involves an exfoliating toner that I wipe all over my foot and then a foot cream or treatment to soften and moisturize. Typically I will use exfoliating toners meant for the face on my feet and am not currently loyal to any particular formula at the moment. By adding this additional step every night, my feet have literally transformed. Gone are the dry, cracked heels and parched feet that I dealt with for years. Consistent treatment and exfoliation really helps keep them healthy and soft.

Pixi Glow Tonic

I had an extra bottle of this so I am currently using it on my feet as the first step. Pour some onto a cotton round and sweep all over.

AmLactin Foot Repair Cream

This is a very strong exfoliating foot cream so I will use it every other night. It’s a regular repurchase for me because it’s truly one of the best foot creams I’ve tried. Be sure to put socks on after applying any foot cream so you can lock in that moisture.

Tenoverten Sole Mate Foot Balm

On the nights I am not using the Amlactin, I love swiping this solid balm all over my feet. It’s nice because it’s in a stick form so you can easily apply without anything getting on your hands.

Hair Care Routine

I wash my hair during the day so my hair care routine at night is not extensive but has made a huge difference in my overall hair health.

Currentbody LED Hair Growth Helmet (discount code: ALITTLEBITCB)

I’ve been using this LED helmet for nearly 2 years and swear by it for helping to stimulate hair growth. It’s on a timer so you just have to press the “on” button and it turns off after 10 minutes. Typically I will wear this 5-6 nights/week. If you are struggling with hair thinning or hair loss, this helmet is a must try!

Amika Dream Routine Overnight Hydrating Hair Mask

As someone with very fine hair, I am hesitant to use cream products on dry hair because I am worried it will be too heavy. This is one of the first overnight hair masks I tried that never weighed my hair down. I use it every other night just on bottom half of my hair to help give it a boost of hydration. It dries relatively quickly and I can style my hair as usual the next morning without having to rinse it out.

Nail Care Routine

When I am ready to go to bed, I will do my nail care routine. I am someone who has very thin nails that break constantly in between my manicure appointments. Once I began regularly doing a nail care routine, my nails hardly ever break anymore.

Tenoverten The Rose Cuticle Oil

Any cuticle oil will greatly help strengthen your nails if you apply it daily. I fell in love with this one because it’s a roller ball applicator that you directly roll onto your cuticles. I don’t like having to rub the cuticle oil in to my nails so this application method has been a game changer.

Remedy Skincare Hand Remedy

Once my cuticle oil has dried slightly, I will apply my hand cream. I’m VERY picky about my hand creams but immediately fell in love with this one. It’s nourishing but not greasy while also containing retinol to help target anti-aging concerns.

White jeans are a timeless wardrobe staple that many people love but may feel unsure about styling. Wondering what seasons they are appropriate for, finding a flattering fit, choosing a material that isn’t too thin and avoiding looking too casual or impractical are some issues that arise when deciding if you want to wear white jeans. Many articles show outfit photos but few explain why certain combinations work or how to adapt white jeans for different seasons and occasions. In today’s post, I am going to help you decide how to style white jeans, what to wear with white jeans and how to wear them with confidence.

How To Style White Jeans

Despite many of the concerns surrounding styling white jeans, they are actually very versatile. They can work year-round and be dressed up or down easily. White jeans pair well with many colors and textures making them suitable for anyone. Styling white jeans well depends on fit, fabric weight, and contrast so it can take a bit of trial and error to find the right pair. Once you have a pair you love, the right styling tips can help you wear those white jeans for casual, work-appropriate, or elevated looks.

Are White Jeans Fashionable?

White jeans will always be in style and they reappear every season. They are most frequently featured in spring, summer, and fall collections though I do love a winter white moment too. And you CAN wear white after Labor Day! Current styles of white jeans focus on relaxed fits, straight-leg, and wide-leg silhouettes rather than something too fitted. My personal favorite white jeans are a high-waisted wide leg style. Even if you have a pair of white jeans that were purchased years ago, you can still make them look current by pairing them with modern silhouettes and textures.

What To Wear With White Jeans

What Shoes To Wear With White Jeans

Ballet Flats

Either colorful or neutral, ballet flats are always a great shoe to wear with white jeans. They are a timeless style that always looks polished and classic.

Kitten heels

I prefer a lower heel with my white jeans so a kitten heel is what I regularly reach for. Preferably a pointy toe style which elongates the legs and if it’s warm enough, go for a slingback or mule style kitten heel.

Clear sandals

My absolute favorite type of shoe to wear with white jeans are clear sandals. You don’t have to worry about them clashing with your white denim and they instantly elongate the leg. White is the lightest color there is so many shoes can look too heavy when worn with white denim. If you find that many of your shoes contrast too much with any of your white jeans, opt for a clear sandal. It will always work!

What Tops To Wear With White Jeans

Boho blouses

There is something so delicate and soft about a boho blouse which makes it the perfect top to wear with white jeans. The lightness of the denim complements this type of billowy top in the best way.

Lightweight crewneck sweater

Don’t be afraid to wear a sweater with white denim especially in the early spring or fall. Choose a simple crewneck style but make sure it’s a thinner texture. Anything too bulky is not as versatile and could be harder to style. If you are craving some color in your outfit, choose a brightly colored crewneck sweater to wear with your white jeans.

Striped tee

A striped tee and white jeans is one of my go-to outfits in the spring/summer. It’s timeless and always looks polished yet still very casual.

What Belts To Wear With White Jeans

Neutral belts

Choosing a belt for white denim can be challenging. Black is always an option if you are wearing a black top, but invest in a lighter color belt for when you want something softer. A simple camel or tan belt will go with almost any top you pair with your white jeans.

Metal belts

If a traditional belt looks too bulky with your outfit, I love the idea of a metal or chain belt worn with white jeans.

How To Dress Up White Jeans

Pair white jeans with structured blazers or tailored jackets

Choose elevated fabrics like silk, satin, or fine knits

Add polished accessories such as belts, statement jewelry, or structured bags

Wear tailored silhouettes to elevate white jeans

White Jean Outfit Ideas

Lightweight sweater and white jeans

A simple crewneck sweater is a closet must have. There are honestly too many variations, styles and fabrics to choose from so just go for what you personally prefer. Opt for a solid color so it is more versatile and be sure you have one that is nice and thin so you can layer it easily if you want.

Denim shirt with white wide leg jeans

I love the look of white jeans in the summer especially with a chic blouse and neutral accessories. To avoid over heating or feeling too hot, choose a straight leg or wide leg pair of white jeans over a slim or skinny style. A denim shirt definitely has more of a fall feel to it but you can definitely style it with shorts while it is still warm out or even white jeans and sandals. As the cooler weather comes, change out the sandals for some suede mules like I did with this look.

Structured vest with white jeans

There is no combination more classic than black and white, amiright?! Since white jeans often give a look an airy and fresh vibe whereas black can seem heavy and harsh, I definitely think they can be worn well together. Choose a delicate strappy black sandal to balance out the look.

White jeans with neutral accessories

Outfit details: Trench (similar) | Tee | Jeans | Shoes | Belt | Bag (similar) | Sunglasses

All white with a neutral coat and neutral accessories is a look you can wear over and over. It will never go out of style. Also, don’t worry about matching all your different neutral tones exactly – it gives the outfit some interest when the shades are slightly different.

Colorful top with white jeans

Nothing makes vibrant colors stand out more than pairing them with something white. I love these kind of looks during summer. When choosing a look like this, try to pick bold color item for the top and then keep everything else neutral. If you top is bright, opt for neutral shoes and a neutral bag to balance the look.

Striped sweater with white jeans

I’m a firm believer that you can wear white jeans year round but they are on heavy rotation for me once spring rolls around. Stripes always look great worn with white often more so than traditional denim. You can go for a classic blue/white stripe or pick a different colorway to change it up.
