12 Trophy Tops That Will Make Any Old Jeans Feel Fresh

Win-win situation of the ‘jeans and nice top' phenomenon.

If you haven’t already jumped on the ‘jeans and a nice top’ phenomenon, then what are you wearing? (Serious question because we’re yet to find a better way to way to spruce up our well-loved denim.) A failsafe formula that works for almost all occasions and always feels so fresh – the hi-lo remix is definitely a sartorial reflection of our times (note: the blurring between our work/leisure lives).

The concept is simple.

Step one: put on your favourite jeans. Cut du jour is the straight leg but it can work with a spectrum of denim designs within reason - keep in mind too tattered might detract from the niceness of its counterpart.

Step two: pick your trophy top - look for details like embellished sleeves, touch-me textures, plunging necklines, glitter adornments, anything ‘extra’ really. Think disco and romance all at the same time. Nothing is too far out. In fact, the wilder the better.

The brilliance of pairing these unsuspecting party separates with your everyday jeans tones it down just enough to get away with feeling the best-version of your weekend self, on any ordinary day.

This is not to say you can’t vamp it up for invitation-only soirees – just add chandelier earrings, a mini-bag and metallic platform heels for a nonchalantly cool look that garners It Girl style status instantly. Trust us, it works every time.
