When it comes to reliable style, pairing jeans with a simple white top is always in vogue. However, even this classic ensemble isn't totally immune to the tides of fashion. Rather, each year puts a new spin on the timeless combo with current trends and silhouettes. So, what's the hottest top to accent our favorite jeans in 2025?

Glam spoke exclusively to etiquette expert and fashion commentator Jo Hayes, who had all the answers. "The white embroidered blouse — formally known as 'broderie anglaise' — is the summer look for 2025. Especially when paired with denim," Hayes reveals. The subtle, airy style of the broderie anglaise fashion fabric strikes the perfect balance between freshness and texture, creating visual interest without overwhelming the easy elegance of the look, particularly when you choose white-on-white embroidery, which comes across as effortlessly chic.

"The white embroidered blouse delivers on all fronts. ... The delicate embroidery [and] intricate floral detailing, produced in light, breathable cotton, captures the joy, lightness, and carefree-ness of summer in blouse form," says Hayes. "After a long, dark winter, we're craving as much lightness and brightness as we can get." Oh yeah, this definitely resonates. But how can we style the look through spring, summer, and beyond? Hayes has a few ideas.

To live your trendiest take on hot girl summer, pair an embroidered blouse with denim. "A white top with blue denim bottoms is a classic combination that never goes out of style. The colors complement each other perfectly for a fresh summer look. One simply needs to incorporate a current-season twist ... to be bang on trend," Jo Hayes advises us. For instance, the previously outdated cuffed jeans trend is making a comeback in 2025 — try wearing this denim style with broderie anglaise for a breezy, modern 'fit.

Hayes adds that one type of sleeves works beautifully here, too. "Big, puffy sleeves are still going strong. ... Pair [them] with a denim short or high-waisted, wide-leg denim jeans," Hayes exclusively recommends to Glam. "The long denim skirt is also having a major fashion moment." To make a maxi work with puffed sleeves, Hayes explains, "... simply ensure it's tucked in to give some definition/shape to your silhouette." Best of all, finishing the look couldn't be easier, as it creates a versatile canvas for accessories of all aesthetics. "With the neutral base of the white blouse and denim, one can really go all-out with bright accessories. Think bright yellow statement earrings, paired with a matching yellow handbag," suggests Hayes. And for those who prefer a minimal palette? "Go with neutral, natural-coloured raffia accessories," the expert recommends.

As for shoes, summery vibes are a fantastic complement to the pastoral sweetness of an embroidered blouse. "A wedge or platform sandal ... will set you on the right path in footwear. Or, go with a classic, high-wedge espadrille," says Hayes. She loves the Chocolat Blu Lacy Platform Wedge Sandal and the Jo Mercer Camel Suede Cairo Espadrilles. Or, for an even more casual look, you can opt for simple white sneakers — the shoe that works with every pair of jeans in 2025 — like the Adidas Court 2.0.
