How To Dress Up Jeans
Learn some hip tips to dress up denim from casual to business attire
to elegant and sophisticated by coordinating accessories.
Denim doesn't have to be casual. Dressing up denim can be a fun, yet
challenging fashion mission. This everyday staple can look just as dressy
with some must-have finishing touches. Learn some hip tips to dress up your
favorite piece of clothing.
Many women wear jeans on a daily basis and often times dressed down. But,
denim can look great with "dressier" flair and can take the place of several
dressier pieces in other fabrics that you have in your wardrobe...
1. Think like the French. A French fashionista won't step outside her
home not dressed. And, by this I mean dressed up. They seem to have that
effortlessly chic way about them, which crosses over to the way they
dress... flawlessly. For the oh-so-pulled-together look, try pairing a pair of
signature Salvatore Ferragamo flats with a savvy jean skirt. Make sure the
top is fitted and wear gorgeous jewelry.
2. Trousers. Think jean trousers in a darker denim shade, which instantly
makes the look more dressed up. Pair it with a tweed Chanel-esque blazer and
pearls for drama.
3. The little jean dress. Forget the little black dress; it's time for
the little jean dress. Pair with a trench coat. A little belt and gold
jewelry would really make this look hip.
4. The jean jacket. Go for tailored and sleek with small details. Wear
black slimming pants with this look.
5. Jeans. Boot cut jeans can be dressed up with a button down shirt or
any other dressy shirt. Make it unique with sparkly cuff links (that look
great on women too).
6. Keep the makeup and hair extremely pulled together and flawless, which
will in turn make your dressy denim look, irresistible.
The Darker the Better
The
darker your shade of denim the better because indigo shades of blue tends to
look dressier than their lighter shaded counterparts. This goes for
everything, from dresses, to jeans to skirts. It's your key to looking more
pulled together and your denim... dressier.
Accessories
When dressing up anything, you know that adding certain accessories can
really make any look extra dramatic. The same goes for dressing up denim.
Don't be afraid to add some extra sparkly jewelry to the look. Pearls would
be a nice touch for extra glamour or a charm necklace would make the look
funky, yet interesting. Gold jewelry would also offset denim nicely, like
large gold hoops and several gold bangles. Go for bold purses in savvy bring
colors as well. Anything designer will give it that extra appeal and the
luxe look you're going for. For shoes, anything with a heel will instantly
give your outfit more pizzazz.
D.I.Y
Or, you could do-it-yourself... There are several things you could do to
actually do to your jeans to give them that extra sparkle. Just be creative.
Add ribbon or studded rhinestones or anything else you can think of. Become
your very own designer.
When dressing up denim, just remember anything goes. What's fun about
fashion, is trying new things. And, if you haven't dressed up your favorite
everyday staple yet, now is the time.
