A curious occurrence took place at the recent Venice cinema festival: a renowned star arrived in jeans. Usually, a cinema event red carpet means chiffon and glitter, revealed décolletage and dramatic skirts. Yet the celebrity chose dark high-end trousers combined with a pale lined blouse and a structured blazer. And, even if it's a fact that with a celebrated smile, your attire carries less weight – even so. It marked a moment. A new era of looking smart in denim pants is here.

Most of us tend to be undecided about denim wear. They are our go-to option on a weekend day, but when it's time to dress up, we reach for something else. However blue jeans, worn right, can escort you to your workplace or a nice restaurant with plenty of style. And, many people aren't required to worry too much about a glamorous premiere, after all.

A structured coat combined with denim what a bold lip is to a clean complexion. The contrast creates an outfit seem purposeful and intentional, which projects self-assurance.

We'll open with the basics. When your trousers sag at the knees or drag on the pavement, no level of silk blouse magic will save the ensemble. Sophisticated trousers are about clean lines, good tailoring and a fit that enhances you. The extra-wide denim that is widespread at the moment can look fantastic elevated for casual events. However for a appearance that reads as semi-formal, a streamlined fit achieves the right sophisticated-leaning note, and the hem should sit just at the surface of your loafer. Tailored denim are useful because they understand how to maintain decorum in public. When streamlined trousers had a personality, they would be on-time and polite, very Type A. That's why they are your friend for this purpose.

The most frequent error we make when trying to look smart in trousers is to attempt to play down the pants. If you wear boring denim trousers and cover them with a stylish top up top in the belief that no one will notice you are sporting denim, you aren't concealing the jeans – you appear cobbled together, which is not the intention whatsoever. A classic belt that makes a feature of the denim is the right choice.

Firm denim has the best shape, so seek out little stretch. The waist should be at your natural waistline – anything sitting low conveys a more casual message – and snug but not constricting. You will use a belt regardless (as noted, do keep up) and it's best if jeans ought to ever be uncomfortable. You ought to feel held, but not squeezed.

A blazer paired with trousers as lipstick on a natural complexion. The combination results in a style appear intentional and intentional, which projects self-assurance. The mix of blue fabric with refined wool or soft weave brings interest and appeal. This works on top of a shirt or casual top for day, or a dressier item for evening. Select a metal chain or a clean hoop rather than a long elaborate jewelry. It appears more French, get the picture?

Jeans-and-a-nice-top is a classic because it works, especially if you are heading out for dinner. Beginning with denim simplifies creating an ensemble simpler, which is handy if it's a quick evening change. A satin top under your blazer is a simple go-to that provides you options: you can keep the jacket on if you are near the entrance with a chill breeze, or take off the jacket away if you begin to getting warm in toasty indoor climate.

The ideal pair sets the tone between laid-back polish and just stepped out. It doesn't have to be a heel, even if it doesn't hurt. A timeless shiny pump with a jean is perennially fashionable, but slip-ons, new athletic shoes or short boots are all suitable. A flash of skin in one area is invariably a pleasant touch, if the weather allows: a couple of buttons undone on a blouse, or a strappy sandal if you are sporting a high-necked jumper.

Sometimes the simple option proves to be the sophisticated choice. And if it's good enough for a film festival, it's suitable for your usual seat in a local restaurant.
