How to Make your Jeans Office Appropriate
Who said that jeans couldn’t be formal? Certainly not us. In some professional circles, tailoring is mandatory. In others, you can make a few tweaks to the rule.
So if you’re fed up with wearing the same tailored trousers, then don’t fear the opportunity to subtly introduce jeans into your business look. It’s the best way to give a casual touch while still looking office appropriate.
How to style jeans for work?
It couldn’t be easier. Just think of the jeans themselves as a tailored trouser and style it with what you would normally. Our winning combo? A blazer, crisp white shirt, and court heels. Simple!

Which jeans to choose for work?
Even if you’re allowed to wear jeans to work, there are still some rules to respect. If you don’t work in the creative world, it will be difficult to get away with ripped boyfriend jeans for instance.
Same goes for low cut or faded style jeans. Instead, opt for black indigo or grey washes and avoid the extra skinny or baggy shapes in favour of a classic straight, bootcut or subtlety flared jean.
