You can't go wrong with a pair of straight leg jeans, from styling with your favourite t-shirt and the best white trainers during the day, to pairing with a smart blouse and slingback heels at night.
With the festive season around the corner it's never too early to be on the hunt for the Christmas party outfits. A black blazer is ideal for layering over a strappy dress or adding to some tailored trousers.

Our woman&home Digital Fashion Editor Caroline Parr comments on this look, "Blue jeans, a smart jacket and luxe loafers is the ultimate combination when you're not sure what to wear. Easy to layer up, this look will work from office to evening, and I love the sleek leather handbag too. Invest in these key pieces, and it will absolutely pay off! You can pick whichever cut of jeans works for you - wide leg, slouchy, bootcut, skinny - you name it."
Whilst we're not entirely sure where Zoe's denim jeans are from, there are plenty of high-street options that are equally fabulous. Her black leather handbag, however, is unmistakably the Saint Laurent Paris shoulder bag—a piece that adds to the luxury feel of this look. Leather accessories like this are perfect for adding a refined, sophisticated edge to denim, elevating even the simplest of outfits.
