Transform your day-time outfit from a casual look to one fit for the evening. Using your classic jeans and t-shirt from the daytime, add in a satin blazer, heels and a red lip to be ready for the evening.
Layer your cashmere – don’t be afraid of wearing multiples of the same fabrication. I love wearing wide leg jeans with an ALEXANDRA GOLOVANOFF cashmere crewneck, styled with a LESET long sleeve cashmere polo around my neck or waist as an alternative to wearing a jacket.
Mix aesthetics. Mix your SPORTY & RICH varsity shorts with a tailored men’s shirt. +

Use a variety of accessories (jewelry, denim accessories, bags, bag chains, etc) to elevate ALL of your looks.
Adding a belt to any denim style finishes the look. Consider sourcing vintage or the men’s department.
Denim is only a canvas for expressing your style and can be as formal or casual as you want.
Know your hero items to mix and match for any occasion – the perfect sweatpants, cashmere, t-shirt and denim.
If you don’t know the exact dress code, I would always prefer to be slightly more casual vs. overdressed. Find the perfect balanced look.
