Skinny jeans - the foundation of a good wardrobe. Whether you're a young adult or working woman, we're sure that a pair of denims definitely features in your cupboard. They can work wonders for Sunday brunch and add pizazz to any party. But what about for a high on glamour event, say for a night out? More often than not, skinny jeans take the cut for the little black dress or sequined mini skirt. In actuality, this closet staple can be dressed up for a more formal occasion.
If you're feeling doubtful about it, take a cue from Alia Bhatt. One of B-town's youngest powerhouses is known to be a stylista off-screen with denims as one of her fondest fashion companions. For a dinner date with bestie Akansha Ranjan Kapoor and a few others at Hakkasan in Mumbai, the actress stayed loyal to her love for her jeans and looked fantastic while doing so. Alia wore a red shirt which had a tied front. With it was a black purse slung over her shoulder, matching Christian Louboutin studded pumps and a clean-cut beauty look.

We've deduced a few pointers from Alia Bhatt's easy chic look so if you're looking to style your trusty jeans for a night on the town (or any event that's tilted towards being formal), here's what you should know.

1. The key to the look is in the jeans. Alia chose a classic dark washed pair that fit like a glove and hit right at the ankle. No bunching, no rips, no nonsense. It's the main style tip to work jeans into your glam look.
2. From the relaxed shirt which adds a required pop of colour to the matching accessories, Alia's pairings are stylish and formal, which upgrade the denims drastically.
3. The neat top bun, strobed skin and no-makeup makeup only add to the sophisticated yet understated flair that the outfit is going for.

The next time you head for a formal 'do, you won't need to keep your skinny jeans back inside.
