An interesting event happened at the latest Venice film festival: a celebrated performer appeared in jeans. Usually, a cinema event celebrity walkway means flowing fabrics and sequins, exposed arms and long gowns. Yet the celebrity selected deep-toned premium denim combined with a light lined blouse and a structured coat. And, although it's a fact that with a iconic grin, your outfit has less pressure – still. It was a significant event. A new era of appearing polished in denim has begun.

Most of us tend to be undecided regarding denim wear. They represent our standard choice on a leisure day, however when it's time to look smart, we opt for an alternative. Yet blue jeans, paired appropriately, can take you to the office or a fine dining spot with flair to spare. And, many people don't need to be overly concerned about a celebrity event, in the end.

A structured coat is to jeans as makeup on a natural skin. The juxtaposition results in a style feel deliberate and thoughtful, which projects confidence.

We'll open with the basics. If your jeans sag at the knees or drag on the floor, no level of elegant top wizardry will rescue the look. Sophisticated trousers are about sharp silhouettes, good tailoring and a cut that enhances you. The extra-wide trousers currently ubiquitous these days may appear excellent styled up for let-loose parties. Yet for a appearance that is perceived as dressy casual, a tailored cut hits the appropriate sophisticated-leaning vibe, and the hem ought to rest precisely at the surface of your shoe. Straight jeans are useful because they know how to act appropriately in public. If straight jeans had a personality, they would be punctual and well-mannered, very Type A. This explains why they are your ally in this case.

The most frequent error we make when aiming to dress sophisticatedly in trousers is to try to downplay the pants. If you wear dull jeans and conceal them with an eye-catching piece up top in the expectation that not a soul will see you are wearing jeans, you fail to hide the denim – you look cobbled together, which is not the idea at all. An understated leather belt that makes a feature of the jeans is the way to go.

Stiff denim offers the optimal shape, so look for low elasticity. The waist needs to be at your natural waistline – any style sitting low communicates a more casual vibe – and fitted but not constricting. You will add a belt anyway (as mentioned, pay attention) and I don't think trousers ought to ever be uncomfortable. You should feel supported, but not compressed.

A coat paired with trousers as lipstick is to a natural complexion. The contrast makes the look feel deliberate and thoughtful, which radiates poise. The pairing of denim with sleek material or soft weave adds interest and interest. This is effective over a top or T-shirt for day, or a more elegant piece for dinner. Choose a metal chain or a minimalist earring instead of a long statement earring. It feels very Parisian, know what I mean?

Trousers-with-a-pretty-blouse is a classic with good cause, especially if you are stepping out for dinner. Starting with trousers simplifies creating an outfit more straightforward, which is convenient if it's a fast after-work transition. A satin top under your jacket is a simple go-to that offers you choices: you can keep the jacket on if you are close to the exit with a chill breeze, or take off the jacket aside if you begin to going pink in warm room temperature.

The perfect footwear creates the distinction between relaxed sophistication and running errands. It isn't necessary to wear a high heel, although it isn't a bad idea. An enduring shiny pump with a jean is eternally chic, but slip-ons, clean sneakers or booties are all excellent. A peek of bare skin somewhere is always a pleasant touch, if the climate lets you: two unfastened closures on a top, or a strappy sandal if you are in a crewneck sweater.

At times the straightforward selection turns out to be the sophisticated choice. And when it's appropriate for a celebrity event, it's suitable for your corner table in a neighborhood cafe.
