Tailored denim are helpful because they know how to act appropriately in company. If straight jeans had a personality, they would be timely and polite, very Type A. This is why they are your friend here.

The most frequent mistake we make when trying to look smart in denim is to endeavor to minimize the denim. If you wear dull denim trousers and mask them with something snazzy on the upper half in the expectation that no one will notice you are wearing jeans, you don't disguise the denim – you seem cobbled together, which is not the intention whatsoever. An understated belt that highlights of the denim is the way to go.

Rigid denim has the optimal silhouette, so aim for low elasticity. The waistband ought to be at your natural waistline – any cut low-rise communicates a less formal vibe – and fitted but not tight. You will wear a belt anyway (as noted, do keep up) and it's not advisable denim should ever be uncomfortable. You should feel supported, but not squeezed.

A jacket is to jeans what a bold lip color on a bare face. The juxtaposition results in a style seem intentional and thoughtful, which exudes self-assurance.

Jeans-and-a-nice-top is a enduring because it works, particularly if you are stepping out for a meal. Beginning with denim makes putting together an ensemble more straightforward, which is useful if it's a fast after-work change. A delicate undershirt under your blazer is a straightforward choice that offers you options: you might leave both on if you are close to the exit with a chill breeze, or take off the jacket away if you feel yourself getting warm in warm indoor climate.

The perfect footwear sets the tone between laid-back polish and running errands. It need not be a stiletto, though it isn't a bad idea. A classic shiny pump with a jean is always stylish, but slip-ons, clean sneakers or booties are all suitable. A glimpse of exposed skin somewhere is always a nice detail, if the weather permits: a few unfastened closures on a shirt, or a open-toe shoe if you are in a turtleneck pullover.

Sometimes the easy choice turns out to be the polished decision. And should it's good enough for the Venice red carpet, it's suitable for your corner table in a neighborhood cafe.
