Before you even discuss the issue of red wine and barbecue sauce, white jeans can be a treacherous proposition. If the denim is too thin, it will likely show through. If it’s too thick, it will be relegated to the back of your drawer once the warm weather arrives (which, in all likelihood, is exactly when you want to wear them).
