Blue jeans often denote the idea of laidback ease that would be better suited on a weekend rather than in the office. And while most people would rather err on the boring side and keep their blue denims for Casual Fridays or office parties, you can actually wear your blue jeans for everyday of the week if you know how to style it properly. Keep the rest of your look polished, and choose accessories that exude power and professionalism. Master that, and you can work in blue jeans with your office wear like a pro.

Textured or printed pieces instantly give your jeans the dress up that it needs to look presentable in the office.
If you plan on wearing a bright colour, throw on a darker jacket so you don’t stick out too much.
…if you accessorise it properly. This means business pumps, HR-approved accessories and a good leather bag. For a great example, look to Victoria Beckham, and how she uses a pair of red suede pumps to dress up her tee-and-jeans combo. To play it extra safe, bring a simple blazer with you.
Channel the chicness of Jane Birkin and Edie Sedgewick by matching your jeans with a pair of pointy kitten heels.
A light coat instantly transforms your look and makes you appear dressier and more commanding.
Blue jeans are a classic, but how do you wear more classic pieces without looking too stale? The trick is in the styling. Just like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley does it, throw your blazer nonchalantly over a striped button-down shirt, and clutch your handbag close to you as you stride into the office.
Here’s an idea for Casual Fridays: pair your dark denim jeans with a dark denim jacket. It’s cool and still remains business appropriate.
A classic pair of denim jeans will pair really well with a striped top.
If you work in a more laidback environment, then try working in cooler accessories. Make like Natalie Dormer, and throw on a pair of boots and a pair of Mick Jagger-inspired sunnies.
