An amusing incident unfolded at the latest Venice movie festival: a celebrated performer appeared in denim. Ordinarily, a film festival premiere entrance signifies elegant materials and sequins, revealed décolletage and sweeping hems. However this star selected midnight premium denim combined with a light patterned top and a tailored coat. And, although it's true that if you possess a world-famous expression, your outfit carries less weight – even so. It was a significant event. A modern age of looking smart in denim pants has begun.

Most of us tend to be torn regarding denim wear. They serve as our go-to option on a weekend day, however when we need to dress up, we choose an alternative. However blue jeans, paired appropriately, can bring you to the office or a nice restaurant with plenty of style. Furthermore, many people don't have to be overly concerned about the red carpet, in the end.

A structured coat paired with blue jeans like makeup on a natural skin. The pairing creates an outfit feel purposeful and thoughtful, which exudes poise.

We'll begin with the basics. Should your denim droop at the knees or trail on the pavement, no amount of silk blouse magic will rescue the look. Sophisticated jeans are focused on defined shapes, good tailoring and a cut that enhances you. The overly broad jeans presently everywhere at the moment can look excellent dressed up for informal gatherings. But for a style that comes across as smart-casual, a tailored cut hits the appropriate tailoring-adjacent note, and the hem should sit precisely at the surface of your loafer. Straight jeans are beneficial because they are able to behave themselves in social settings. If straight jeans were personified, they would be timely and polite, extremely efficient. This explains why they are your ally for this purpose.

The most common mistake we do when trying to dress sophisticatedly in jeans is to attempt to minimize the jeans. When you choose dull jeans and mask them with a stylish top on the upper half in the expectation that not a soul will notice you are sporting jeans, you aren't concealing the jeans – you seem cobbled together, which is not the goal whatsoever. A classic belt that highlights of the jeans is the way to go.

Firm material provides the optimal outline, so look for minimal elasticity. The waist needs to be at your midsection – anything below the waist communicates a relaxed vibe – and snug but not uncomfortable. You are going to use a belt anyway (see above, stay with me) and it's not advisable denim ought to ever be uncomfortable. You should feel secure, but not cramped.

A jacket combined with jeans as a bold lip color is to a bare face. The combination makes the look feel deliberate and thoughtful, which radiates confidence. The contrast of blue fabric with sleek fabric or crepe adds depth and appeal. This is effective over a top or T-shirt for day, or a more elegant piece for night. Pick out a chain necklace or a clean hoop rather than a swinging statement earring. It feels quite European, know what I mean?

Jeans-and-a-nice-top is a enduring with good cause, particularly if you are going out for a meal. Beginning with jeans eases assembling an look more straightforward, which is useful if it's a speedy after-work transition. A satin top under your coat is a straightforward choice that offers you choices: you might leave both on if you are near the exit with a cold wind, or take off the coat aside if you feel yourself getting warm in heated room temperature.

The ideal pair makes the difference between laid-back polish and just stepped out. It need not be a stiletto, even if it doesn't hurt. An enduring shiny pump with a blue pant is eternally chic, but slip-ons, clean sneakers or booties are all suitable. A glimpse of bare skin in one area is always a welcome element, if the weather allows: two buttons undone on a blouse, or a open-toe shoe if you are wearing a turtleneck jumper.

Occasionally the easy choice proves to be the smart one. And should it's appropriate for the Venice red carpet, it's suitable for your favorite spot in a local restaurant.
