Which jeans & top?

[Awcw1234]

Heading out for a few drinks next Friday evening. Just to a few bars in town. Want to look casual and not like I’ve tried hard. Plan is to add gold jewellery and probably a black leather jacket or blazer.

I prefer light blue ripped jeans as I think the dark blue ones are too baggy at the back? Help me decide!

The darker ones are a better look, but the shape isn't great. I don't like the ripped ones, and a black vest tucked in isn't a great look, imo.
Have you got a top that looks a bit more structured to contrast with the very casual jeans look?.

Classic dark wide-legs (these are Levi) or a softer loose style. With a simple round or V-neck tee, & a good belt if needed. And classic trainers. Nothing exciting, but well put-together & low-key for a Friday night in the pub - IMO!

Both of these looks are lovely. Casual, but stylish.

These are nice and stylish but too casual unless she wants to look like she’s going on the school run. There’s a balance between normal day wear and full on glam I think that’s what she’s trying to go for.

The darker jeans suit the top more, if you don’t like trainers what about ballet flats or sandals?

I got this top recently, looks more expensive than it is, sorry but both your tops are so plain for a night out:-

Well, the OP did say "Want to look casual and not like I’ve tried hard" & "I don’t want to look too dressed up!" - so personally this sort of thing with some gold hoops would be my idea of casual but suitable for a Friday night in the pub.

I like overdressing for any occasion though, so I would choose differently!!!

There are other tops on M&S, these just look like something I’d wear at home.

Sorry, I actually meant to reply to @pastadish above your post! I agree that the OP's tops are a bit too ordinary. And I did suggest a T-shirt - but there are T-shirts & there are T-shirts!!!

Yes it’s hard to know what casual and dressed up means to different people.
I also love to dress up and don’t do casual for a night out!

That's just ordinary day wear. It wouldn't merit a second look doing the weekly supermarket shop.

No, it wouldn't - but the OP wants to wear a black blazer & jeans & top. And posted pictures of two jeans & top outfits.

The ones she posted photos of are - IMO - not great, so I suggested options that are a bit more considered-looking.

She specifically said she wanted to look casual, & not too try hard & dressed up. So within the prescribed parameters of denim jeans, top & black blazer, that's what I tried to improve upon!!

I doubt if she'd be very interested in what I'm planning to wear out on Friday night ...!!!

Few more images that might be a bit more smart/ casual? I would wear flat sandals/ ballet pumps with all.

Darker jeans.
Black shoes rarely go with blue jeans. Have you anything else?
