An interesting event happened at the latest Venice cinema festival: a famous actress appeared in denim. Ordinarily, a film festival red carpet means flowing fabrics and glitter, revealed décolletage and sweeping hems. But the celebrity chose midnight premium denim combined with a pale lined shirt and a tailored jacket. Moreover, even if it's a fact that with a iconic grin, your clothing doesn't have to work as hard – even so. It marked a significant event. A modern age of looking smart in jeans has arrived.

The majority of people feel a bit undecided concerning denim wear. They are our go-to option on a leisure day, however when the occasion calls to appear polished, we opt for different attire. Yet jeans, styled correctly, can take you to work or a fine dining spot with flair to spare. Additionally, many people don't need to fret about a glamorous premiere, after all.

A blazer combined with jeans like a bold lip applied to a clean complexion. The juxtaposition results in a style appear deliberate and intentional, which exudes poise.

We'll begin with the basics. When your trousers sag at the knees or trail on the pavement, no amount of luxurious shirt wizardry will save the ensemble. Smart trousers are centered on clean lines, good tailoring and a fit that enhances you. The very loose jeans presently widespread these days may appear fantastic styled up for informal events. However for a style that comes across as smart-casual, a tailored cut reaches the appropriate polished note, and the hem ought to rest exactly at the surface of your loafer. Streamlined trousers are helpful because they know how to maintain decorum in public. If straight jeans were personified, they would be on-time and well-mannered, highly organized. This is why they are your ally here.

The most frequent blunder we do when trying to appear polished in denim is to endeavor to minimize the jeans. If you wear dull jeans and conceal them with an eye-catching piece above in the expectation that not a soul will see you are wearing denim, you fail to hide the denim – you seem thrown on, which is not the intention whatsoever. An understated strap that makes a feature of the trousers is the way to go.

Firm fabric provides the optimal shape, so aim for little give. The waist should be at your waist – any style sitting low sends a more casual vibe – and fitted but not uncomfortable. You are going to use a belt in any case (see above, stay with me) and it's best if jeans should ever be tight. You should feel secure, but not compressed.

A coat combined with jeans what makeup applied to a bare face. The contrast makes the look appear deliberate and planned, which radiates self-assurance. The mix of jeans with smooth wool or crepe brings interest and detail. This is effective on top of a blouse or T-shirt for day, or something slinkier for dinner. Pick out a metal chain or a minimalist earring rather than a swinging chandelier earring. It feels very Parisian, see the idea?

Trousers-with-a-pretty-blouse is a enduring for a reason, notably if you are stepping out for dinner. Opting for denim eases assembling an ensemble more straightforward, which is convenient if it's a fast post-work change. A satin top below your blazer is a straightforward choice that gives you choices: you might leave the layers intact if you are by the door with a cool draft, or slip the coat away if you feel yourself going pink in toasty room temperature.

The perfect footwear makes the difference between casual elegance and popped-out-for-bin-bags. It need not be a heel, even if it can help. A classic shiny pump with a jean is perennially fashionable, but loafers, fresh trainers or booties are all good. A peek of exposed skin somewhere is invariably a nice detail, if the temperature permits: two unfastened closures on a top, or a strappy sandal if you are sporting a turtleneck jumper.

Sometimes the straightforward selection proves to be the polished decision. And if it's good enough for a celebrity event, it's good enough for your favorite spot in a local restaurant.
