5 Ways to Style Your Denim Jacket
Because denim is so casual, it's a closet essential. It may elevate a hoodie or even give your business clothes a more polished, carefree vibe. In addition, as chinos are typically more formal than jeans, it can be worn with them. Selecting a dark wash is essential to avoid seeming too Canadian Tuxedo-esque.
1. Accessorise it
The denim jacket has evolved into a symbol of masculine style connected to rock stars, truck drivers, cowboys, and miners. However, occasionally a man concerns that it might just be a "costume" that doesn't exactly match his formal or polished aesthetic. Think about the fit when selecting your denim jacket. The sleeves should finish exactly below your wrist bone, and the shoulder seams should fall exactly where your shoulders curve. Additionally, the body should have a good taper in the midsection and be slender through the waist. Next, wear your denim jacket down below with dark jeans and a light- or medium-wash shirt on top. Remember to lift the collar as well; it gives your appearance a bit more confidence and accentuates your features!
2. Put it casual
The denim jacket has long been associated with American freedom and rebellion, thanks to stars like Bruce Springsteen and James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause. To achieve a similar style, team your denim jacket with low-key trainers and slim pants. An ensemble is complete with a shirt or jumper. A popped collar will give the entire ensemble more personality. Black jeans look great with a dark wash denim jacket. By doing this, you can lessen the chance of looking like a Canadian Tuxedo when wearing blue jacket and darker pants. A pair of basic wedge boots finishes the ensemble, and a white button down will keep everything looking put together. A belt can also be added to improve the appearance. For a more distinctive and customised design, consider adding some studs or rhinestones to the back of the denim jacket if you have an edgier taste.
3. Put it in new clothes
You can dress up your favourite dress with a denim jacket—it's not just for casual wear. Style your midi flower print dress with a loose-fitting boxy blazer, like Gabrielle Union does above. This ensemble is ideal for fall since it combines classic and whimsical elements in equal measure. Tailoring can also be worn with a dark denim jacket. This redefines the phrase "smart-casual" and looks great with a crew-neck or roll-neck black jumper. The secret is to balance the hues of your jacket and jeans; light-wash pants on top of a dark-raw jacket look great together. Your jacket must fit well for the appearance to work. The sleeve should end just below your wrist bone, and the shoulder seam should match the peak of your shoulder.
4. Take it down once more
Many guys mistakenly believe that denim jackets are only appropriate for dressed-down or professional occasions. However, a well-fitting denim jacket may be worn almost anyplace. One of a man's most functional accessories in his closet might be a well-styled denim jacket. Cuff the sleeves of a mid-wash denim jacket and pair it with black pants for a laid-back, stylish appearance. After that, throw on a basic white T-shirt, and conclude the ensemble with simple white trainers. As an alternative, you may wear a fresh white button-down shirt with a trucker jacket with a dark wash. The shirt can be tucked in or knotted, and don't forget to wear it with some basic wedge booties. This is a perfect weekend ensemble for heading out with pals.
5. Adorn it Once More
A denim jacket can also look very sophisticated if it fits well. Choose a fitted silhouette and a deeper wash for a design that works just as well for autumn as it does for warm weather. For a sleek appearance, the shoulder seams should match your shoulders and have a small taper down the sides. For a relaxed yet put together look, wear a black t-shirt or dress underneath and pair it with white trainers. For a polished appearance, don't forget to tuck in your shirt and roll up the cuffs on your jeans. For casual yet stylish dates in the warm weather, a flowery dress layered over a denim jacket is a great option. Dutch braids, loose waves, and half-up, half-down "dos" are all great hairstyles with this ensemble.
