Specifically dark-wash (dark blue denim) jeans. They look dressier.

Honestly, watch a few episodes of What Not to Wear and you'll see some good ideas for relatively simple outfits (like jeans or slacks with a jacket or sweater and colorful top) that look great. Also you'll see how much of a difference it makes when clothes fit properly. I used to buy a lot of clothes because I liked the color even if it was baggy or otherwise ill-fitting. Now I pay much more attention to how clothes fit.
