Is It Okay to Wear a Tie with Jeans?

There was a time when jeans were only considered appropriate for very casual wear and ties were only considered appropriate for formal wear. If you're wondering whether it is okay to wear a tie with jeans, the answer is...absolutely!

Today, jeans are a standard fashion piece that are seen well beyond weekends and working in the yard. It's not only okay to wear a tie with jeans, but when styled thoughtfully, the pairing will create a smart, modern, fashionable look.

Jeans come in all tones and washes, from light-bleached denim to dark black washes. When styling jeans with a tie, choose darker wash jeans and a casual in cotton, linen, or wool knit. Then to truly nail down your fashionable, contemporary look, pair your dark, slim, pressed jeans and tie with a fitted button-down shirt.

Jeans with a tie are a great choice for casual parties, date nights, and events that specify a smart-casual dress code. Just make sure you have overall balance in your outfit. You don't want your top-half to look all business and your bottom half to seem too casual. This is why dark jeans and a casual tie will help you achieve a stylish balance.
