Like many companies, yours probably allows you to wear jeans a certain day of the week, likely Friday just for fun, or in exchange for a small donation to benefit charity. Perhaps it's for raising funds for departmental eat-ins and such. Whatever the case, the game to climbing to the top of the corporate ladder is still on. You don't want to allow this little privilege done wrong to be the reason you lose points with key people, or worse put you out of the game you're trying to win entirely.
Following are a few tips to keep your professional look comfortably tight, and more 9-to-5-ish.*
Pair your jeans with a boyfriend blazer. You'll still be able to enjoy casual Fridays comfortably while still maintaining a professional look. What's more, this look is not only a haute trend right now, but it's timeless.

Keep it in the closet. It's best to save those for Saturday. Even the professionally cut-up cut-ups you didn't cut-up yourself but bought from your favorite retail store is better left for the weekend.

The darker the denim, the sweeter the look. Distressed denim is not a good look here. So go with your darker jeans for casual Fridays. Another great jacket to try that's corporate America safe and stylish is the equestrian jacket.

Don't try to sneak in. For many, for some when it comes to jeans, you might want to pull your tennis shoes out. But for work, you'll want to consider anything but. Sequined ballet flats are perfect when you want to give heels a rest. Also, the popular ankle boot is a smart choice too.

Casual Fridays is a good excuse to go shopping. Well...it is your job we're talkin' here. If none of your denim really works for work, there's no need to go overboard and spend a bunch of money. But, it is an excuse to invest in some hot skinny new jeans!
