An amusing event happened at this year's Venice cinema festival: a celebrated performer arrived wearing denim. Typically, a film festival celebrity walkway means chiffon and sparkle, bare shoulders and dramatic skirts. However this star chose dark high-end trousers paired with a light lined top and a tailored coat. Furthermore, although it's a fact that with a celebrated smile, your outfit doesn't have to work as hard – even so. It represented a significant event. A modern age of appearing polished in denim is here.

Most of us feel a bit conflicted about denim wear. They are our standard choice on a leisure day, however when the occasion calls to look smart, we opt for different attire. However jeans, styled correctly, can take you to your workplace or a nice restaurant with plenty of style. Furthermore, many people don't have to be overly concerned about the red carpet, in the end.

A structured coat combined with jeans as lipstick on a clean complexion. The juxtaposition makes the look feel intentional and planned, which radiates confidence.

Let's start with the basics. Should your denim droop at the bend or drag on the floor, no amount of luxurious shirt magic will rescue the outfit. Polished denim are focused on sharp silhouettes, excellent fit and a style that flatters you. The overly broad jeans that is ubiquitous right now may appear great elevated for informal events. But for a look that reads as smart-casual, a streamlined fit reaches the perfect polished note, and the length needs to fall precisely at the upper part of your shoe. Straight jeans are helpful because they understand how to maintain decorum in public. If straight jeans possessed character, they would be timely and courteous, highly organized. This explains why they are your companion for this purpose.

The typical error we commit when aiming to dress sophisticatedly in trousers is to try to play down the denim. If you wear plain jeans and mask them with an eye-catching piece up top in the belief that not a soul will notice you are sporting denim, you don't disguise the denim – you seem thrown on, which is not the idea in the least. A simple belt that makes a feature of the trousers is the best approach.

Rigid denim has the best outline, so look for little give. The waistband needs to be at your midsection – any cut sitting low communicates a less formal vibe – and close but not constricting. You'll add a belt regardless (as mentioned, pay attention) and I don't think jeans need to be tight. It's important to feel secure, but not cramped.

A jacket paired with denim what a bold lip color applied to a natural complexion. The juxtaposition makes the look appear purposeful and intentional, which exudes confidence. The contrast of denim with smooth material or soft weave provides interest and interest. This is effective over a blouse or tee for day, or something slinkier for evening. Choose a chain necklace or a clean hoop instead of a swinging elaborate jewelry. It feels quite European, see the idea?

Trousers-with-a-pretty-blouse is a timeless because it works, particularly if you are going out for a meal. Opting for denim eases assembling an ensemble more straightforward, which is handy if it's a speedy after-work transition. A satin top beneath your coat is a easy option that gives you alternatives: you might leave the layers intact if you are near the entrance with a chill breeze, or take off the coat away if you begin to going pink in warm heating.

The perfect footwear creates the distinction between relaxed sophistication and running errands. It doesn't have to be a stiletto, although it isn't a bad idea. A timeless shiny pump with a denim trouser is perennially fashionable, but slip-ons, new athletic shoes or booties are all excellent. A peek of exposed skin in one area is invariably a nice detail, if the weather permits: a couple of open buttons on a shirt, or a strappy sandal if you are wearing a high-necked jumper.

Sometimes the straightforward selection ends up to be the polished decision. And if it's good enough for a film festival, it's suitable for your favorite spot in a local restaurant.
