We'll open with essential tips. When your trousers sag at the knees or drag on the ground, no amount of silk blouse skill will rescue the ensemble. Polished trousers are focused on clean lines, precise cut and a style that enhances you. The overly broad jeans that is ubiquitous right now may appear excellent elevated for casual events. But for a look that reads as semi-formal, a streamlined fit hits the perfect polished tone, and the length should sit just at the surface of your shoe. Streamlined trousers are useful because they understand how to behave themselves in public. If straight jeans were personified, they would be punctual and polite, very Type A. This is why they are your friend for this purpose.

The most common error we make when aiming to appear polished in denim is to endeavor to downplay the jeans. Should you pick boring jeans and cover them with a stylish top on the upper half in the belief that not a soul will observe you are wearing denim, you don't disguise the jeans – you look thrown on, which is not the intention whatsoever. A simple leather belt that accentuates of the trousers is the best approach.

The ideal pair makes the difference between casual elegance and running errands. It need not be a high heel, even if it can help. A timeless elegant shoe with a jean is eternally chic, but slip-ons, clean sneakers or ankle boots are all good. A peek of bare skin in one area is invariably a welcome element, if the temperature allows: a couple of open buttons on a top, or a open-toe shoe if you are wearing a high-necked jumper.

Sometimes the straightforward selection ends up to be the sophisticated choice. And if it's suitable for a film festival, it's good enough for your usual seat in a cozy eatery.
