If you're looking for the perfect way to bridge the gap between smart and casual, Tess Daly's latest look might just be the inspiration you need. The Strictly Come Dancing Host paired a sophisticated tailored blazer with denim flares showing us how easy it is to elevate everyday denim.
As we move into autumn, it's time to focus on layering key pieces from your autumn capsule wardrobe to create both warm and stylish looks. And of course, this means that your go-to denim can be elevated into smart attire by styling with tailored blazers and jackets, and Tess Daly's outfit is the ideal example of how to do this effortlessly.
Daly's look combines classic denim flares, a sleek tailored blazer, a Breton striped t-shirt and of course, the best white trainers. Her combination of structured, smart tailoring with laid back denim is the perfect look for transitional weather, and is ideal for autumnal office wear too.
Tess Daly took to Instagram, posting a photo series in the ultra-stylish look. She captioned the post "We’re back… 🪩 #Strictly24". Her followers we quick to comment on the fabulous denim look, and their excitement about the return of the show.

Something that I love about this look is the style of jeans, and although it's essential to figure out the best jeans for your body type, come autumn I am immediately reaching for my favourite flares. For starters, this style is practical, and on colder days the length helps to keep me warm. Not only this, but flares add a cool, vintage flare to your outfit, especially when styled with a tailored jacket and statement t-shirt.
Choosing a Breton striped t-shirt adds a timeless, playful edge to this look without overpowering it. And this effortlessly chic combination captures everything we love about French styling—elegant and effortless, making it ideal for those in-between autumn days.

Flares and tailoring make an elite combination, and a Breton stipe top will tie everything together perfectly. Later saying, "It's a world away from the sequins we're used to seeing on Strictly, but this look gets a 10 from us for day to day versatility!".
