GONE ARE THE DAYS WHERE JEANS WERE SEEN AS ‘TOO CASUAL’ TO WEAR TO WORK. WITH THE PROPER FIT AND STYLING, YOU CAN NOW FEEL MORE ‘YOU’ IN DENIM – COMFORTABLE AT WORK. AND THE BEST PART? YOU CAN SWITCH UP YOUR FIT IN A HEARTBEAT FOR AN AFTER-WORK PARTY!
Styling Denim for Work
When dressed strategically, denim can not only be an appropriate but also an elegant office attire. Here are a few tips to try out when wearing denim to work.
Denim Dos and Don’ts
Denims of darker wash and colours are more work-appropriate. So, style your look in black, dark blue, or darker washes to head to the office. Go for a straight fit or regular fit; avoid skinny fits. It’s hard to make destroyed, ribbed, patchwork, or embellished denims look ‘professional.’ So, avoid these styles and go for the classic ones.
Tops to Pair
The top you pair with your denim plays a big role in creating a professional look. For the ladies, wear button down shirts, turtleneck tops, and blouses. Keep subtle prints and minimal colours in mind. Avoid t-shirts, sequin tops, or anything too ‘flashy.’ For the guys, try wearing simple button-down shirts with mild, thin stripes, subtle checks, or mild solid colours. Pick the ones that are pleasing to the eye, and nothing too bright.
Blazer Puts It Together
A blazer is the final step that can pull the whole look together. You should opt for a long or mid-length blazer. Go for plain or single-coloured blazers or for subtle checks/prints. You can also pair cardigans and leather jackets following the same colour and length code. Avoid denim jackets because they’re too ‘casual’. Ladies should also avoid cropped jackets.
Shoe Guide
Well-structured and closed-toed shoes are ideal choices to pair with denim. Ankle boots, closed-toe wedges and heels work great for women to create that formal look. Avoid sneakers, embellished heels, or casual flat sandals. For guys, Oxford brogues, boat shoes, or casual loafers are the best choices.
Accessorise
When accessorising with your work outfit, always opt for minimal jewellery. Minimal studs, rings, and pendants work great with women’s formal outfits. Avoid flashy pieces that make a statement. While guys don’t have too many options to accessorise, a nice classic watch is always a fine touch.
Fit & Clean
Make sure your denim and blazer fit you properly. Ensure they’re neither too tight nor too loose. Additionally, ensure each piece of your outfit is clean and ironed (if needed).
Styling Denim for Parties
Dressing up denims for parties is an extremely easy task. Simply pair up your denim with your favourite top. Ladies, it can be sequin, off shoulder, satin, or anything you prefer! Men, throw on a round neck short sleeve tee with a denim jacket and you’re good to go!
If you’re a woman who’s more into less-extravagant tops, pair it up with colourful shoes and bags to alleviate your look. Statement jewelleries and chunky pieces always work for parties. If you are not an accessory person, alleviate your look with a graphic liner or neon liner instead. Although men are not seen to accessorise, a party is surely the place to try on crazy, unusual things.
Transform Your Work Outfit to an Evening Party Outfit
Save time because there’s no need to change out of your LoveGen denims. Switch your look by following these simple suggestions
For women, if you went to work wearing denim and a formal top/blouse, you can easily switch up your look by changing into a funky top. It can be sequin, printed, cute and colourful, or just a good old crop top. Take your party look one step further by adding some graphic eyeliner or bright lipstick & blush.
In case you wore a button-down shirt and blazer with your denim, transform that look to an after-event party outfit by ditching the blazer. Alleviate your look by adding in chunky jewellery pieces. Another way to switch up your button-down shirt and denim look is by switching from formal shoes to fancy heels. Pair it up with a matching or contrasting chic bag.
DRESSING UP DENIMS FOR PARTIES IS AN EXTREMELY EASY TASK. SIMPLY PAIR UP YOUR DENIM WITH YOUR FAVOURITE TOP.
If you want a more casual look for the party, simply switch to a graphic tee. You can also opt for a cropped-top or cropped-tees. Throw in a denim jacket for ‘pzazz! Finish your look with your favourite sneakers – the funkier, the better!
Now for the men. if you’re wearing a blazer and a tie, just lose them, and voila! You can get a more casual look by changing into a printed/vibrant button-down shirt from your formal one. If looking for a nice, ironed shirt is too much of a hassle, go for a comfy t-shirt. It can be a classic, round-necked one, or a polo, or anything you prefer. Throw on a cool denim jacket with a printed/graphic tee to take it up a notch. For your shoes, switch to a funky pair of sneakers to get into the party mood, and be the centre of attention. Don’t be scared to accessorise. Wear bracelets, rings, or even pendants to match your mood. Add in a fanny pack if you’re feeling extra funky.
