How To Wear A Denim Jacket:
“A denim jacket may be a fantastic choice to have at your disposal for its versatility.
Here are 10 alternative ways to pardner a jean jacket in order that you'll keep it up trucking down the road.
With A White T-shirt
This is another classic pairing enshrined in Americana. A crisp but fuss-free look, it’s almost as easy as you would possibly think.
With Black Jeans
Double denim are often doubly good albeit you flagrantly transgress the ‘distinct shades’ rule. Except for a fail-safe thanks to splice jeans, black and blue is tough to beat.
Other colours of jeans can do an equivalent trick: grey, for one, and even white, although that presents its own pitfalls, to not mention impracticalities.
With Indigo Jeans
A shade harder than black jeans, but still not that tough , unwashed indigo denim will stand much less of an opportunity of optically bleeding into a lighter and/or distressed denim jacket than lighter and/or distressed jeans, for reasons that ought to hopefully be apparent from reading this sentence.
With Tailored Trousers
Similar to the shirt and tie, it helps if you'll minimise the seeming discord between your casual jacket and smart trousers. That would be by jacking your jacket up in smartness with an unwashed dark denim, plus minimal bells and whistles like contrast stitching or rivets.
Likewise, you'll pull your trousers down a notch in formality with a more substantial, nubby material that’s closer to denim on the spectrum. Or choose a relaxed fit, a cropped length or turn-ups.
With Joggers
A denim jacket doesn’t exactly fall into the category of sportswear, unless you’re a cowboy. But it provides a degree of structure to offset the softness of your joggers, also as more prosaically just not being another piece of jersey, thereby saving you from having to travel full tracksuit or ‘Tesco tuxedo’.
This isn’t a hard-and-fast rule (there aren’t many of these left in menswear) but you’re probably best to steer beyond cowboy details on your denim jacket. Style historians don’t record athleisure as having been a key trend within the Old West.
With A Hoodie
This combo may be a fallback for any menswear blogger attempting to seem vaguely urban. Don’t let that put you off. A hoodie may be a natural sparring mate for a denim jacket because they’re both low-key, chuck-on weekend staples.
In that vein, don’t overdo it. Keep the colors neutral and don’t go too boxy with the fit of the hoodie. Avoid the brash logos of streetwear’s latest drops and stick with a navy or grey marl under a blue denim jacket.
With An Overcoat or Topcoat
As with a tailored blazer, your denim jacket should be slim fitting if you would like to wear it under an overcoat. You ought to almost be ready to get two fingers down it when wrapped and it should be narrow-necked so it doesn’t compete together with your coat’s lapels.
By its nature, even the neatest tailored outerwear features a degree of ruggedness so this is often not as incongruous as you would possibly think. Don’t be afraid to juxtapose, either: camel, which normally skews formal, are often a very nice combo. Bonus points if your jacket’s stitching matches the color.
Finally, These are the ways to style a denim jacket.
