An interesting occurrence happened at the latest Venice cinema festival: a renowned star stepped out in jeans. Typically, a film festival red carpet signifies elegant materials and sequins, exposed arms and sweeping hems. But the celebrity selected dark premium denim paired with a pale striped shirt and a well-fitted coat. Moreover, while admittedly that if you possess a world-famous expression, your outfit doesn't have to work as hard – still. It was a moment. A fresh phase of looking smart in denim pants is here.

The majority of people tend to be undecided concerning denim wear. They represent our go-to option on a weekend day, but when the occasion calls to look smart, we opt for something else. But blue jeans, worn right, can take you to your workplace or a fine dining spot with abundant sophistication. Furthermore, many people don't have to fret about the red carpet, in the end.

A tailored jacket combined with blue jeans as makeup is to a clean complexion. The juxtaposition creates an outfit appear deliberate and planned, which projects confidence.

Let's start with essential tips. When your trousers sag at the joints or drag on the pavement, no level of luxurious shirt magic will rescue the ensemble. Polished jeans are centered on defined shapes, good tailoring and a cut that flatters you. The overly broad trousers that is ubiquitous at the moment might seem great dressed up for casual parties. But for a style that comes across as semi-formal, a streamlined fit achieves the appropriate sophisticated-leaning note, and the length needs to fall exactly at the top of your footwear. Streamlined trousers are beneficial because they are able to behave themselves in social settings. Should tailored denim possessed character, they would be on-time and courteous, highly organized. This is why they are your friend for this purpose.

The typical mistake we commit when aiming to look smart in trousers is to endeavor to minimize the denim. If you wear boring denim trousers and cover them with something snazzy up top in the expectation that not a soul will see you are in jeans, you aren't concealing the denim – you seem thrown on, which is not the idea in the least. A simple leather belt that makes a feature of the jeans is the best approach.

Firm denim offers the optimal outline, so look for low give. The top should be at your natural waistline – any style below the waist sends a more casual impression – and fitted but not tight. You'll add a belt anyway (see above, do keep up) and it's best if denim should ever be restrictive. You should feel held, but not compressed.

A blazer paired with trousers as lipstick is to a natural complexion. The juxtaposition makes the look feel deliberate and thoughtful, which radiates self-assurance. The contrast of denim with sleek fabric or crepe provides texture and interest. This works paired with a blouse or casual top for daywear, or a dressier item for evening. Pick out a metal chain or a simple hoop rather than a long statement earring. It appears more French, know what I mean?

Trousers-with-a-pretty-blouse is a timeless because it works, especially if you are going out for a meal. Opting for trousers makes putting together an look easier, which is useful if it's a quick post-work transition. A delicate undershirt below your blazer is a straightforward choice that offers you alternatives: you may retain the layers intact if you are close to the door with a chill breeze, or remove the blazer aside if you feel yourself getting warm in warm room temperature.

The perfect footwear sets the tone between laid-back polish and just stepped out. It need not be a stiletto, though it doesn't hurt. An enduring glossy high pump with a denim trouser is eternally chic, but slip-ons, clean sneakers or short boots are all good. A flash of exposed skin somewhere is invariably a welcome element, if the temperature allows: a few buttons undone on a top, or a bare sandal if you are wearing a crewneck pullover.

Sometimes the easy choice proves to be the smart one. And when it's appropriate for a celebrity event, it's appropriate for your usual seat in a cozy eatery.
