How to Look Fancy With Jeans

Different styles of denim are appropriate for different situations: Don't wear old, ripped jeans.

Jeans are a comfortable staple in most people's closets, but they don't all have to look like mom's gardening jeans. With the right accessories, they can be dressed up for any situation. They're not just for cowboys anymore! Jeans can be an appropriate choice for more formal environments, from work to dinner parties.

Instructions

1. Choose well-fitting jeans. Don't compromise when it comes to buying new jeans that fit right. Make sure they aren't too short or too long.

2. Don't wear just any pair of jeans. Dark denim is classier than faded blue.

3. Wear heels, which add sophistication and formality to jeans.

4. Wear a blazer. It will make your outfit more appropriate for business events. Belted jackets have a similar effect.

5. Wear a blouse on top if it's too warm for a jacket. Something lacy or sparkly will dress you up nicely.

6. Accessorize with sophisticated jewelry and makeup.

Tips & Warnings

• If your jeans are too long, hem or roll your cuffs.
