An curious occurrence happened at the latest Venice movie festival: a famous actress arrived in denim. Usually, a film festival celebrity walkway means elegant materials and glitter, bare shoulders and long gowns. Yet this star chose deep-toned high-end trousers paired with a pale striped top and a tailored coat. And, although it's true that when you have a world-famous smile, your outfit carries less weight – even so. It marked a turning point. A fresh phase of appearing polished in denim is here.

Most of us feel a bit torn regarding denim wear. They represent our default setting on a weekend day, but when the occasion calls to appear polished, we opt for different attire. Yet blue jeans, paired appropriately, can escort you to work or a fine dining spot with abundant sophistication. Additionally, most of us don't have to be overly concerned about a celebrity event, ultimately.

A tailored jacket combined with jeans what a bold lip on a bare face. The pairing creates an outfit appear intentional and planned, which radiates self-assurance.

Let's start with essential tips. If your jeans droop at the bend or sweep on the pavement, no level of silk blouse skill will salvage the look. Smart jeans are about sharp silhouettes, precise cut and a cut that flatters you. The very loose jeans presently everywhere right now may appear fantastic dressed up for informal events. But for a look that comes across as smart-casual, a streamlined fit reaches the appropriate polished vibe, and the bottom edge should sit just at the upper part of your loafer. Streamlined trousers are helpful because they are able to act appropriately in public. If straight jeans possessed character, they would be punctual and well-mannered, very Type A. That's why they are your ally here.

The typical blunder we make when aiming to dress sophisticatedly in denim is to attempt to downplay the jeans. Should you pick dull jeans and mask them with a stylish top on the upper half in the belief that not a soul will see you are wearing denim, you don't disguise the denim – you seem thrown on, which is not the goal whatsoever. A classic strap that highlights of the denim is the way to go.

Firm denim provides the optimal shape, so look for minimal stretch. The waistband needs to be at your midsection – anything below the waist conveys a more casual vibe – and fitted but not uncomfortable. You'll use a belt anyway (as noted, do keep up) and I don't think denim need to be tight. You should feel supported, but not squeezed.

A blazer combined with jeans as lipstick applied to a bare face. The combination creates an outfit feel purposeful and planned, which projects confidence. The pairing of blue fabric with refined wool or soft weave adds interest and appeal. This is effective on top of a blouse or casual top for daywear, or something slinkier for dinner. Pick out a metal chain or a simple hoop as opposed to a swinging elaborate jewelry. It seems quite European, see the idea?

Jeans-and-a-nice-top is a classic with good cause, especially if you are heading out for an evening out. Opting for jeans eases assembling an outfit more straightforward, which is useful if it's a speedy after-work change. A delicate undershirt under your jacket is a simple go-to that offers you options: you might leave the jacket on if you are by the door with a chill breeze, or take off the blazer away if you feel yourself going pink in warm room temperature.

The right shoe sets the tone between laid-back polish and just stepped out. It need not be a high heel, though it can help. An enduring shiny pump with a jean is always stylish, but slip-ons, fresh trainers or short boots are all good. A peek of skin in one area is invariably a nice detail, if the temperature allows: a couple of unfastened closures on a shirt, or a strappy sandal if you are wearing a crewneck jumper.

Sometimes the straightforward selection ends up to be the polished decision. And when it's suitable for a celebrity event, it's appropriate for your corner table in a local restaurant.
