How to make it work for work: Blue denim
Black skinny jeans can easily slip under the radar as part of your office repertoire. But when it comes to indigo washes, things can become slightly trickier. Unless your company has a relaxed dress code, incorporating denim into your 9-to-5 requires a few considerations. Luckily, that’s where we come in…
The jeans
Avoid anything ripped, frayed or distressed, and stick to dark washes to err on the side of caution. Straight-leg cuts with a tailored feel can be teamed with heels, while flared jeans are also a great choice for their silhouette-sculpting elegance. Elevate their downtime vibe with a silk blouse, slick shirting or a tailored blazer and a plain tee.
The skirt
Midi lengths are best for a more demure take on off-duty denim skirts. An A-line silhouette with a button-down front taps into fashion’s current obsession with the ’70s; wear yours with knee-high boots and a silk pussy-bow blouse or a lightweight knit.
The jacket
Clean lines are key to sit seamlessly alongside tailoring, so look for neat cuts and super-saturated washes. New York label Khaite’s Laura jacket has a polished finish and looks gorgeous over tailored cigarette pants with killer heels. For an ultra-feminine look, a long black slip dress with flat sandals will see you through from office to out-out.
