A amusing occurrence took place at this year's Venice cinema festival: a celebrated performer arrived in jeans. Usually, a cinema event red carpet implies flowing fabrics and glitter, bare shoulders and dramatic skirts. However this star opted for midnight high-end trousers matched with a soft lined blouse and a structured jacket. Furthermore, although admittedly that with a iconic smile, your attire doesn't have to work as hard – even so. It was a significant event. A fresh phase of looking smart in denim has begun.

Most of us are somewhat undecided concerning denim wear. They represent our go-to option on a weekend day, yet when we need to look smart, we opt for something else. Yet denim pants, styled correctly, can take you to your workplace or a nice restaurant with flair to spare. And, most of us don't have to be overly concerned about a glamorous premiere, after all.

A tailored jacket paired with jeans as lipstick on a bare face. The pairing results in a style feel purposeful and planned, which projects self-assurance.

Let's start by covering fundamentals. If your jeans sag at the knees or trail on the pavement, no level of silk blouse skill will rescue the look. Polished trousers are about clean lines, good tailoring and a cut that enhances you. The very loose trousers presently ubiquitous these days may appear fantastic dressed up for casual parties. However for a look that comes across as dressy casual, a tailored cut hits the appropriate sophisticated-leaning vibe, and the hem needs to fall just at the upper part of your loafer. Tailored denim are useful because they know how to behave themselves in public. When streamlined trousers were personified, they would be on-time and well-mannered, extremely efficient. This is why they are your companion here.

The most common blunder we do when attempting to appear polished in denim is to attempt to minimize the denim. If you wear boring jeans and cover them with a stylish top up top in the expectation that not a soul will notice you are in denim, you don't disguise the denim – you seem cobbled together, which is not the goal at all. A simple leather belt that highlights of the jeans is the way to go.

Stiff denim has the finest outline, so aim for minimal elasticity. The waist needs to be at your midsection – any cut sitting low conveys a relaxed vibe – and close but not constricting. You will wear a belt anyway (as mentioned, pay attention) and it's best if jeans need to be uncomfortable. It's important to feel held, but not compressed.

A coat combined with trousers what makeup applied to a clean skin. The juxtaposition creates an outfit appear intentional and thoughtful, which radiates poise. The pairing of jeans with refined material or textured cloth provides depth and interest. This is effective over a shirt or T-shirt for day, or something slinkier for night. Choose a linked necklace or a clean hoop as opposed to a swinging elaborate jewelry. It appears more French, get the picture?

Trousers-with-a-pretty-blouse is a classic because it works, particularly if you are stepping out for a meal. Opting for trousers simplifies creating an outfit more straightforward, which is useful if it's a speedy post-work change. A delicate undershirt below your coat is a straightforward choice that gives you alternatives: you might leave the jacket on if you are close to the door with a cold wind, or take off the blazer away if you feel yourself getting warm in heated room temperature.

The right shoe creates the distinction between laid-back polish and running errands. It isn't necessary to wear a high heel, although it doesn't hurt. A timeless glossy high pump with a denim trouser is always stylish, but flat shoes, clean sneakers or booties are all excellent. A flash of bare skin somewhere is invariably a welcome element, if the weather lets you: a few open buttons on a blouse, or a open-toe shoe if you are in a turtleneck pullover.

At times the easy choice ends up to be the smart one. And if it's good enough for a film festival, it's suitable for your corner table in a neighborhood cafe.
