Simple EASY Guide To Dressing Up Your Jeans
About this video
Centeno teaches how to dress up denim by breaking down the historical context of denim as workwear and establishing practical rules for elevating it. He covers fabric selection, fit, color choices, jacket pairings, accessories, grooming, and footwear to help men wear denim in more formal settings.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues denim has historical associations with workwear that limit how far it can be dressed up; it’s inappropriate for black-tie events but can work well in modern casual workplaces when styled correctly
- Centeno recommends dark-colored denim (dark indigo or black) as the easiest option to dress up, and emphasizes proper fit through tailoring as essential to elevating the overall look
- Centeno advises pairing dressed-up denim with structured pieces like polo shirts, button-downs, sweaters, sports jackets, or blazers, and completing the outfit with quality watches, dark socks, and proper grooming
