Jeans are my all-time favourite fashion item, and the very first piece of clothing I pack when I travel. By Chata Romano Image Consultant Riana Meyer.

Jeans, in any shade, from the lightest blue to the darkest blue, is a versatile item and, for me, a necessary must-have in my wardrobe as it can be dressed up or down, with minimum effort. When travelling it is the ultimate life-saver; I can wear it 24/7.

Corporate dress codes have changed over the years and wearing a smart pair of jeans, especially on Casual-Friday, are more than acceptable. The key is how to wear your jeans! Avoid causal T-shirts, opt for smarter tops. A tailored jacket, with a smart cammie (refer to the left photograph) is super smart, especially worn with elegant accessories.

From a styling point of view high-waisted jeans are back on track and suit all body shapes. A bootleg jean works if you have a fuller lower body as it gives balance to the overall silhouette.  Skinnies, ultimately, work over the weekend and if you have a fuller body shape they are best worn with a longer top or jacket.
