Wash
For beginners, try mixing colors. White denim jeans and a blue denim top is a simple look to recreate. For a blue on blue look, consider a darker wash jean and lighter wash top for flattering complexity.
Fit
It is important to prioritize comfort, but when pairing two similar pieces, make sure to stay on the slim side. Select a skinny jean and tailored button- down for a chic silhouette. Tuck the top in and break up the set with a belt that complements the shoes.
Weight
For this look, the top and bottoms shouldn't be the same weight. This can cause a uniform appearance. Choose a lighter weight button-down to offset the jeans and unbutton the top few buttons for a breezy and leisurely feel.
Play
Experiment with pops of color using accessories that elevate the casual vibe of this outfit. Throw on a pair of heels and a luxe statement bag to take this look out for the night.
