The untailored office denim alternative
A black shirt beneath a navy blazer uses contrast at the collar while ecru denim keeps the outfit lighter. It is a denim-permitted client-lunch alternative to matching tailoring.
The whole combination
- Black lightweight shirt
- Ecru wide-leg jeans
- Navy unstructured blazer
- Black flat loafers
- Navy lightweight tote
Check it on you
Check workplace permission for both denim and visible colour contrast. Let the shirt stay untucked if that is more comfortable, and inspect jacket length over it.
Make it work with what you own
Use stone tailored trousers when the office requires smarter bottoms. Keep the shirt and blazer you already own.
Before you leave: test reaching, sitting and walking. Follow your own garment care labels. Weather suitability depends on the actual clothes and conditions; this look has no warmth or waterproof rating.
