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.
