How to Wear Jeans at the Office

O creative director Adam Glassman on all things denim, including the perfect skinnies for all body types and the right—and wrong—ways to wear jeans at work.

How to Wear Jeans at Work

My hard-and-fast rules about jeans in the office: Choose a dark wash in a skinny, straight-leg or trouser silhouette. Don't wash them too often—they'll get soft and fade; dry-clean instead to keep them crisp. Pair with office-appropriate accessories. When in doubt, don't wear anything to work that you would on the weekend or that you've seen your daughter in. And remember: With so much great denim to choose from, there is no excuse for mom jeans!

Hot Trend

Camo is my animal print, and I love it for jeans—super-wearable and available at every price.

I was blown away by Hublot's denim watch when I saw it recently: It's gorgeous, jeweled—and more than $28,000. Luckily, I found this Timex number that has a similar vibe, at a way more attainable price point. (Timex, $65; Nordstrom.com)

Crazy for It!

If you want a great skinny jean, the Bodycon by MiH Jeans really does look good on every body. 

Here's why: 

The waistband sucks you in. 

No front pockets, which reduces bulk. 

Strategic darting makes your butt look amazing! 

An elastane-blend denim minimizes bagging.
