An interesting event took place at this year's Venice movie festival: a renowned star appeared in denim. Usually, a film festival premiere entrance means flowing fabrics and sparkle, exposed arms and sweeping hems. However the celebrity selected midnight designer jeans combined with a soft lined blouse and a structured coat. And, although admittedly that if you possess a iconic smile, your clothing doesn't have to work as hard – even so. It marked a significant event. A new era of looking smart in denim is here.

Most of us are somewhat torn about jeans. They serve as our default setting on a Saturday, but when the occasion calls to dress up, we opt for an alternative. Yet blue jeans, styled correctly, can bring you to the office or a fine dining spot with flair to spare. And, the majority don't have to fret about the red carpet, in the end.

A tailored jacket combined with denim like a bold lip applied to a natural skin. The pairing results in a style seem purposeful and intentional, which projects self-assurance.

Let's start with the basics. When your trousers bag at the knees or trail on the floor, no amount of silk blouse skill will save the look. Polished denim are centered on clean lines, excellent fit and a fit that enhances you. The very loose denim currently ubiquitous these days might seem fantastic styled up for let-loose gatherings. However for a appearance that is perceived as semi-formal, a straight leg reaches the perfect sophisticated-leaning tone, and the hem should sit exactly at the surface of your footwear. Streamlined trousers are beneficial because they are able to maintain decorum in social settings. If straight jeans possessed character, they would be timely and polite, highly organized. That's why they are your friend for this purpose.

The most frequent blunder we make when attempting to appear polished in denim is to endeavor to play down the pants. When you choose plain denim trousers and conceal them with a stylish top above in the belief that not a soul will observe you are wearing jeans, you fail to hide the denim – you seem cobbled together, which is not the idea whatsoever. A simple leather belt that makes a feature of the trousers is the best approach.

Rigid material provides the best shape, so aim for little give. The waistband needs to be at your waist – any style sitting low sends a relaxed vibe – and snug but not constricting. You will use a belt anyway (see above, do keep up) and it's best if jeans should ever be uncomfortable. You should feel secure, but not squeezed.

A coat combined with denim what a bold lip color is to a bare face. The juxtaposition creates an outfit appear purposeful and thoughtful, which projects confidence. The pairing of blue fabric with smooth material or textured cloth provides texture and detail. This is effective on top of a blouse or casual top for daytime, or a more elegant piece for night. Select a metal chain or a minimalist earring instead of a dangling statement earring. It appears quite European, see the idea?

Trousers-with-a-pretty-blouse is a classic for a reason, especially if you are going out for dinner. Starting with denim makes putting together an look easier, which is handy if it's a quick post-work transition. A silk camisole under your coat is a easy option that provides you choices: you may retain both on if you are near the entrance with a cold wind, or take off the coat away if you begin to feeling hot in warm room temperature.

The ideal pair makes the difference between laid-back polish and just stepped out. It isn't necessary to wear a high heel, even if it isn't a bad idea. A classic glossy high pump with a jean is eternally chic, but slip-ons, fresh trainers or short boots are all suitable. A flash of skin in one area is invariably a welcome element, if the weather allows: a few buttons undone on a shirt, or a strappy sandal if you are wearing a high-necked sweater.

At times the easy choice turns out to be the sophisticated choice. And should it's suitable for the Venice red carpet, it's suitable for your favorite spot in a neighborhood cafe.
