If you have asked me now, after several times I went for it, I may say you, I would never go to a fashion show wearing a pair of denim, unless I’ve combined the look with great attention and the right “off duty” attitude.
Here are 5 simple rules that may help you:
1. Wear a skinny jeans with high shoes, elegant and unusual - that become the focus of the outfit. Yes to stilettos, ankle straps and bright colors.
2. Combine the upper part of the outfit – knit, sweater, shirt or top – with the shoes in order to get a well studied and accurated look.
3. Yes to the denim on denim. This style gives the effect of an ‘urban tuxedo’ and has the added bonus of being a plain dress. In winter add a woolen maxi coat or blazer, strictly to wear on your shoulders.
4. Yes to not too wide boyfriend jeans, but rolled up, with white shirt or plain tee – shirt, elegant black coat and decollete. Casual, yet classy and sophisticated at the same time.
5. Always yes to oversized knits made of woolen or cashmere matched with decollete of the exact same color, clutch under your arms and disheveled chignon.
