Wing tips and boots seem to work better with jeans than my plain cap toe oxfords. I don't know about the pressed shirt rule -- I'll wear a slightly ruffled button-down oxford with the top button left undone, a knit tie and a cardigan or v-neck. The other key is to make sure your jeans fit in the waist so you can tuck your shirt in. I like the idea of mixing in dressier items with your jeans at work.

I have a couple of other ideas I use when wearing my jeans to work. I like to pair my dark rinse jeans with a plain white shirt (casual, like a J. Crew secret wash) and, if it's cool outside, a lightweight cardigan. And I'm hardly ever without a pair of my trusty Clarks Desert Boots, which seem to go well with just about everything, including jeans (the suedes seem to work especially well with jeans). I tend also not to wear a belt with my jeans (feels a little too Dad jeans-ish to me with a belt). btw, I can recommend the J. Crew jeans, especially the dark rinse crinkle resins in vintage slim. These have a great finish, are slim but not skinny, and for the price (just under $100), made of very decent denim. Your suggestions are right on target, Trish.
