Wearing white this summer does not have to be a daunting task. Add one element of white to your wardrobe for an instant refresh, ready for your next poolside soiree or beach BBQ. Spring 2014 runway collections featured optic white designs, creating contemporary cool looks. Here are three ways you can seamlessly add white to your closet.

Joe's Jeans Brixton / Optic White Jeans

If you're a jeans kind of guy, with every kind of denim wash from dark indigo to sandwashed in your closet, a pair of white denim jeans are the perfect addition to complete your jeans collection. Joe's Jeans Brixton Optic White Jeans are a slim, straight leg fit that can be worn rolled down or cuffed. Pair classic, straight leg AG Adriano Goldschmied Protege White Jeans or 7 For All Mankind Standard Clean White Jeans with your favorite T-shirt, V-neck or crew neck, and add a white jacket for a fresh, summer white look.

Although summer means heat, you're still going to need a staple jacket. A classic denim jacket is timeless, it can be rugged but refined. Wear a white denim jacket for a classic look with edge. Complete a casual look with a simple white, solid color, or graphic T-shirt and jeans or a linen pant. For a more polished outfit, wear a white denim jacket with a button down and twill pants with loafers. If you're not a denim jacket kind of guy, try an all white moto-jacket. Layer white underneath for a rock star-meets-angel look, without being literal.

T-shirts. Are you jumping up and down with excitement because this is your favorite article of clothing in your closet? Wear a crisp or slouchy white short sleeve or long sleeve T-shirt this summer and take it one step further with white jeans or pants and white sneakers. Although colorless, your look will make a bold statement wearing all white and it will really pop against a setting sun.
