Appropriate Jeans for Work

While many jobs don't include jeans in their dress code, some do, and some allow casual Fridays where you can wear jeans to work. Wearing jeans doesn't mean throwing on an old beat-up pair of jeans; you still want to look work-appropriate even on those casual days. Besides the obvious, not wearing jeans with holes or any distressing, a dark blue wash for fall is the perfect choice. It gives a polished look and a dressier feel than an ordinary lighter blue wash.

The Fall Workwear capsule eBook doesn't include jeans but can still be used as a guide to put together an appropriate casual jeans look for work.

Below is a round-up of 9 to 5 approved styles, with a few outfit ideas.

Throwing on a pair of jeans for work shouldn't mean throwing together your look -- you're still on the clock, so your outfit should look the part.

Choose an outfit from the guide and swap out a bottom for a pair of jeans to create a polished and casual look.
