How To Dress For Any Holiday Party — Without Giving Up Your Jeans

Can anyone say, definitively, what happened to jeans and a going-out top? While fashion has moved on from that evening-wear standard of our youth, the denim part of the equation, thankfully, remains appropriate for nighttime — anytime, really.

You could find your new favorite outfit formula, sequined tank or not.
