Boring? Never. The classic blue jeans and white shirt combo gets a twist with some luxurious pieces and styling updates right here.

One can never go wrong with a pair of jeans and a white shirt – we can trust Lana Del Rey on this one. This week, we show you how you can pull off your own twist on the classic look. Complete with a pop of colour, timeless accessories and rule-breaking hardware.

The smart-casual look begins with a luxe white top in place of your usual T-Shirt. A straight cut and A-line sleeves scream ‘successful creative insider’, even if you’re just a bookworm. Cropped wide-leg denims are all the rage, yet flattering and edgy on many body types if done right. Look for one that’s perfectly fitted around the hips and intentionally flare out to just above your ankles like this J Brand pair. The acid wash and two-toned hem will earn you extra style points.

Don’t be afraid to mix metals – the rules on layering different jewellery colours are no more, so knock yourself out and go wild with an armful of silver bangles and a contrasting rose-gold bracelet watch. For the day’s stash, keep it all in a handy top handle-and-crossbody bag.

Incorporate a bright colour into the ensemble with a pair of classic red pumps and a matching lip colour to bring it all together. Finally, pull your hair up in a messy, high ponytail for a day of errands or brunch with the girls and let the compliments stream in.
