Tuxedo-inspired dressing is extremely chic and modern — especially when you skip the traditional trousers and opt for a black skinny jean, as pictured here in an ultra-snug fit. As long as all the pieces fit you well, this is a fantastic outfit for all body shapes. You'll exude confidence in black jeans and a tailored black blazer when everyone else is looking cookie cutter in their ​LBDs. Add a touch of flair with shiny accessories, such as crystal earrings, a blingy bracelet, and patent leather high heels. Or, skip the add-ons entirely and go full-on minimal, with menswear-inspired loafer flats, well-brushed hair and natural-effect makeup.

Wear a high-rise jean style and tuck in your top, to show off your waistline and womanly curves.

If your office has denim-friendly days, stand out from the water-cooler crowd by choosing black skinny jeans instead of the typical indigo blues.

Wear this work-friendly denim outfit with classic black pumps or ankle boots, depending on your style. Of course, you'll want to add a gorgeous winter coat (we love the cream-colored, faux fur-trimmed number pictured here) and a quality handbag, to make an impact coming and going.
