Is it okay to wear denim for work?

In 2017... why not?!

Unless you work in a corporate environment (where boardroom "formal" dress is expected) denim can certainly be moulded to fit the modern workplace.

3 Simple ways to wear Denim for Work.

1. Keep it dark.

Choose dark washes.

Avoid ripped and distressed finishes.

Dark indigo straight cut jeans + White shirt + Quality belt + Classic courts.
Fitted denim shirt + Wool pencil skirt + Booties.
Dark denim shift dress + Silk blouse + Loafers, Brogues or Double monks.

All great looks!

2. Make sure it fits.

Keep the fit neat (but not tight) and the cut classic.

Save baggy jeans, skinnies, cropped denim jackets and dungaree dresses for the weekend.... unless you work somewhere that anything goes (lucky you if you do).

3. Keep it Classy.

If your accessories are quality, and the rest of your outfit more formal, denim is instantly transformed into a class act!

Blazers, pencil skirts, tweed, classic shirts, cashmere jumpers and silk blouses all work really well to smarten up a denim look.

I am very lucky to work somewhere when anything (reasonable) goes.

As long as my toes are covered, I can pretty much wear whatever I like.

Today I wanted to wear this necklace that my husband bought me as part of my Christmas.

{He is a great present buyer and I am taking ALL of the credit for that!

Good training :oP}

I decided to wear this (very) old tweed dress with a denim shirt underneath to show off the necklace.

The shirt needs to be firmly tucked in to something, luckily these tights are a great fit and have a deep waistband... not very glamorous, I know, but it works.

I love the colour of these tights!
