To change the outfit from casual to smart casual where you head to a friend’s place for a BBQ, just add a cape or Kaftan. Distressed jeans can be bohemianised (is that a word?) by adding a cape. Change the bold colour sandals to a more neutral tan sandal and cuff the jeans if you can for extra interest.
