A curious incident happened at the latest Venice film festival: a celebrated performer appeared wearing jeans. Ordinarily, a film festival red carpet means flowing fabrics and sequins, bare shoulders and long gowns. Yet this star selected deep-toned designer jeans combined with a soft striped top and a tailored jacket. And, even if it's a fact that when you have a iconic grin, your attire has less pressure – still. It represented a turning point. A modern age of appearing polished in jeans has begun.

Most of us feel a bit undecided about denim trousers. They represent our standard choice on a leisure day, yet when the occasion calls to look smart, we opt for different attire. However blue jeans, styled correctly, can escort you to your workplace or a elegant eatery with abundant sophistication. Furthermore, most of us aren't required to worry too much about a celebrity event, ultimately.

A blazer paired with blue jeans what a bold lip on a natural skin. The pairing results in a style seem intentional and planned, which exudes poise.

Let's start with the basics. When your trousers bag at the bend or sweep on the floor, not any quantity of luxurious shirt wizardry will salvage the ensemble. Smart denim are centered on sharp silhouettes, excellent fit and a cut that flatters you. The overly broad trousers that is ubiquitous at the moment might seem great styled up for casual events. But for a appearance that reads as smart-casual, a streamlined fit hits the right sophisticated-leaning note, and the hem should sit just at the top of your footwear. Tailored denim are helpful because they know how to maintain decorum in social settings. Should tailored denim had a personality, they would be on-time and polite, highly organized. That's why they are your friend here.

The most common mistake we make when trying to dress sophisticatedly in trousers is to attempt to play down the denim. When you choose plain denim trousers and cover them with something snazzy on the upper half in the belief that not a soul will notice you are in jeans, you fail to hide the jeans – you appear hastily assembled, which is not the intention whatsoever. An understated leather belt that highlights of the trousers is the way to go.

Rigid fabric has the finest outline, so aim for little elasticity. The waist needs to be at your waist – anything low-rise conveys a less formal impression – and snug but not uncomfortable. You will use a belt anyway (see above, stay with me) and I don't think trousers need to be restrictive. It's important to feel held, but not cramped.

A blazer combined with denim as makeup is to a natural complexion. The juxtaposition results in a style seem purposeful and thoughtful, which projects confidence. The mix of denim with sleek material or textured cloth provides texture and detail. This is effective on top of a top or casual top for daywear, or something slinkier for dinner. Choose a chain necklace or a minimalist earring rather than a dangling chandelier earring. It appears very Parisian, know what I mean?

Denim-with-a-chic-top is a enduring because it works, particularly if you are heading out for an evening out. Starting with jeans simplifies creating an look easier, which is useful if it's a quick after-work switch. A satin top below your blazer is a easy option that offers you alternatives: you may retain the jacket on if you are by the exit with a cold wind, or remove the blazer away if you feel yourself going pink in warm room temperature.

The ideal pair makes the difference between laid-back polish and just stepped out. It doesn't have to be a high heel, although it can help. A classic glossy high pump with a denim trouser is perennially fashionable, but slip-ons, fresh trainers or booties are all suitable. A peek of skin someplace is consistently a pleasant touch, if the climate permits: two open buttons on a shirt, or a bare sandal if you are sporting a high-necked sweater.

Sometimes the simple option proves to be the smart one. And when it's suitable for a celebrity event, it's appropriate for your corner table in a neighborhood cafe.
