Gone are the days when denim was worn only for running errands or relaxing at home. These days, your favorite pair of jeans can be worn any time of day, no matter what you’re doing. That’s why we’ve compiled some tips to dress up your denim, so you’ll be ready for wherever the day takes you.
1. Structure. Whether it’s a peplum top, a sharp blazer, or a sleek satchel, pairing a structured piece with your denim is a simple but effective way to take your jeans from day to night.
2. Color. Jeans no longer have to be just blue - black and grey not only make your outfit instantly more sophisticated, but show you’re caught up on recent fashion trends.
3. Style. There are too many flattering styles available to reach for an outdated pair, so ditch the mom jeans. Distressed, skinny, boyfriend, boot cut - your options are endless. Want something a bit more conservative, but still fashion forward? Pick up a pair of denim trousers or a denim pencil skirt.
4. Footwear. Elevate your style - and your height - by choosing a shoe with a heel. Whether it’s a strappy sandal, sexy pump, or tall boot, your jeans will go from boring to fabulous.

5. Feminine details. A lace top, a pair of sparkly shoes, or a statement necklace are the perfect complement to the casualness of jeans. Pair a lace top and strappy heels with boyfriend jeans for just the right touch of feminine edginess.
6. Black. Go for a monochrome look of black jeans with a black top and ankle boots to make your denim sleek and sexy. Want something less severe? Try your favorite blue jeans with a black blazer, black heels, and black clutch for a little extra polish.
You can’t beat the versatility of denim. To achieve the perfect midpoint between casual and dressy, start with your favorite denim bottoms and go from there.
