If you’re working on creating an ensemble that’s both casual and put-together, consider pairing dressy tops with jeans! This simple styling trick can be used when your schedule allows for more casual clothes than formal wear, but you don’t want to look like you just rolled out of bed. Follow this step-by-step guide to learn how to style dressy tops with jeans for a chic everyday look!
What are dressy tops?
Dressy tops are simply tops that you would wear to work, out on the town, or with a blazer to make your ensemble business casual. These tops can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion and where you choose to wear them. For a night out on the town, try pairing one of these tops with your favorite jeans and heels. For everyday wear during the week, keep things more casual by pairing one of these tops with some flats and leggings.
The basics for styling dressy tops
Dressy tops can be styled to work with jeans in a variety of ways. For a more casual look, pair your dressy top with slim-fit jeans or straight-leg jeans. For an edgier look, try pairing your dressy top with ripped jeans or distressed jeans. For a more formal look, pair your dressy top with high-waisted straight leg or flared leg denim.
Tips for dressing up jeans
- Try pairing jeans with a dressy top to create an outfit that still feels comfortable and casual.
- If you’re wearing a full length dress, then wear your jeans at the ankle rather than bunching them up at your waist to create balance in your look.
- Wear dress pants or leggings under your jeans to give it more of an evening feel without sacrificing comfort.
Outfit ideas
Pair your favorite dressy top with your favorite denim jeans and brown ankle boots. Add in a statement piece of jewelry to complete the look.
For an edgy, trendy look pair your favorite off shoulder top or crop top with distressed jeans and knee-high brown booties. To finish off your outfit add in drop earrings and a statement bracelet.
