How to Dress up Jeans
You have made the right choice of picking one piece of clothing to base your look on. It’s easier to put together that perfect vibe this way, and because of this, we have put together these other guides.
1. Footwear
Jeans are so versatile that you can wear any footwear, be it a shoe, boot or sandal, and still dress it up. Learning how to cuff your jeans correctly for the type of shoe you are wearing will add that extra touch.
The critical factor to any piece of footwear you choose must be clean.
No, I didn’t say ‘new.’ Some of my best pairs of shoes are leather boots that I have had for seven years. They keep getting better with age, and all I need to do is give them a bit of love.
Give your shoes a bit of love before you wear them by washing your shoes then drying your shoes in the dryer if your in a rush. If you can wait a day, it will be better to line dry or dry flat your shoes. Learn some more ways to dry your clothes without a dryer.
Follow our other shoe guides.
And don’t forget to give your laces plenty of attention.
If you are lacing up a pair of Adidas NMD_R1, give your laces a good cleaning beforehand.
Other intelligent choices for styling your shoes are low-cut or mid-cut dress shoes in black or brown and leather boots in black or brown.
2. T-shirts
When choosing what type of t-shirt to wear, a lot of this will best be decided on what you are most confident in. Confidence helps you pull off anything you are wearing, no matter how outside the box it may be.
Keep these style tips in mind.
- Wear a proper fitting t-shirt; nothing baggy, too short or too long.
- Stick to single colour fabric choices.
- Do not wear any printed t-shirts.
- Stay away from v-necks.
- Black, white and grey are always easy to work with.
3. Tops
Depending on the season and your destination, once dressed up, it will help you find the perfect top to wear over the t-shirt you chose. My first tip is to keep your hoodies hanging up in your closet.
If you want to wear a warm piece of cotton fabric, then wear a sweatshirt. Jeans, dress shoes, a minimal t-shirt and a light sweatshirt, will always be a classic and safe look.
Other tops that work well with dress shoes (or a clean pair of sneakers) are a suit jacket or a leather jacket.
4. Accessories
The idea when accessorizing any look is to go for ‘less is more.‘ Suitable accessories for your jeans can be your favourite watch (leather strapped watches are ideal.) Instead of a watch, you can also wear a chain made from metal or fabric on your wrist.
Choosing a sleek and straightforward necklace can dress up the look you have going on, especially if you select a t-shirt that hangs well on your shoulders with a slight scoop neck.
Don’t forget that the act of putting on a belt is an accessory. Choose your belt wisely.
And finally, a single ring can be an excellent addition. But don’t go overboard and start filling up your hands and wrists with multiple rings and chains.
