Wearing Jeans to Work

Jeans

Just because your office "allows" you to wear jeans to work, doesn't mean you should abuse the privilege. Oh wait, were you one of those give an inch, takes a mile kind of kids? Well, if so, here is a much needed lesson on your "jeans for work" etiquette.

Jeans

Unless you work at a custom jeans company, you should be mindful of the unwritten rules of wearing jeans to work. When choosing your jean for the office, keep in mind that you (probably) still want to look polished and professional. When you wear a dirty, tattered jean, people tend to not take you so seriously. Take Brandy, here, for example. Odds are you wouldn't want anyone in those jeans in charge of much more than, uh, acting or singing.

I thought things were supposed to move slower on the West Coast. With formerly new school artists like Pac Div and Nipsey Hussle approaching 5 years in the national consciousness, and Kendrick Lamar and the Odd Future collective currently enjoying their time in the spotlight, the next next generation of Westside wunderkind are at the on-deck circle and moving towards the batter's box at an alarming rate. Armed with cacophonous production by The Neptunes themselves, as opposed to one of their many disciples, Compton-native Buddy is the latest in a long line of streetwear-clad rappers who are light on substance but heavy on...well this is a pretty lighthearted effort all around. No need to over think. Put your headphones away. This one's for the speakers. LYRICS: Jordan twelves for my shoes BBC for my clothes Fiji water for my pools and plus I got Nike socks on my toes Everywhere that i go I got to have my bros and a couple melts for all of my poles but I don't really car too much about those I'm talkin' Mercedes Benz for my whip G class would be perfect Two stacks for my tips tell the waitress make it worth it We never packin' that lite noise thats right boys we hurtin' ya'll my flow goes all night boy make white boys go surfin' Hook: aye bruh (aye bruh) don't get gassed manee (gassed manee) I can be the match to your gas can (yeaa) Girls on my jock 'cause they want some want some (moree) And they heard that i got nigga that awesome awesome he way im swaggin' on this song ...

But I digress. The point is-a dark wash jean without any serious distressing/destruction treatments will looks crisp and clean. People like that. They respect it. Another solid option is a trouser jean because it resembles a more traditional dressy pant. Its slick lines will look sophisticated, and its wide legs will give a stylish draping effect.

Now since you're going to go casual with your jeans, you want to dress up the rest of the outfit with a feminine blouse or button-down and some cute high-heels or flats. Do not, try to pair your jeans with a t-shirt or sweatshirt and tennis shoes. Those items should *never* be seen in the office.

And, if you do find yourself craving a little adventure, you can always shake things up with a bright colored vest or blazer. Just make sure you know what you're doing here. No need to ruin a perfectly good outfit with one bad yellow vest decision.
