How To Wear A Denim Jacket
This Is How You Wear A Denim Jacket And Look Like A Movie Star
Just like jeans, the denim jacket was originally made for individuals whose work required durable clothing that could withstand the rigors of manual labour. As years went by, it became associated with rebellion and the bad boy spirit, with notable figures like James Dean rocking one in the 1950s film Rebel Without A Cause.
It also signifies an off-duty look, a simple piece that can be worn with a t-shirt or a button-up shirt. If there’s one piece that every guy needs in his closet, it’s a denim jacket. It will never go out of style because it can be worn all season as an extra layer during the winter or as a light layer on a cool summer day.
Here are five ways you can wear a denim jacket right now:
At The Office
If your office dress code isn’t too strict and you want to switch things up, we recommend wearing a denim jacket over your shirt and tie. If you leave it at your desk, you don’t need to worry about looking out of place for your first meeting of the day. And if you’re planning to join your colleagues for happy hour, you’ll transition nicely into a more casual setting and you’ll still look stylish. Just remember to wear the appropriate footwear! Penny loafers would suit this outfit well!
With A Striped T-Shirt
Having a striped t-shirt is also a wardrobe staple. The pattern stems from its nautical background and it comes in a variety of colors. If you’re in the mood to wear one, we suggest you finish off the look with a denim jacket. It is a decidedly more casual look but you’ll look like you put some thought into your outfit. If you were stumped on footwear, clean white sneakers would add a touch of flair.
With A Polo Shirt
When worn alone, a Polo shirt gives off a preppy vibe. If you want to add a little attitude, a denim jacket will certainly accomplish that. Moreover, with a pair of well-fitting chinos — which can be in any color, by the way — you’ll be ready to step out for an evening with the boys or a quiet date night. You can accentuate this look with a pair chunky derby shoes.
With Your Favorite Pair Of Joggers
It’s Saturday morning, you had a long week and you just want to grab some brunch. If you want to wear something simple, grab your favorite pair of slim-fitting joggers, a cozy sweatshirt, and a pair of comfortable sneakers. Round out your weekend look with a denim jacket. The piece adds functionality to your look, as you don’t want to weigh down your jogger pockets with your keys, wallet and phone.
Add Your Personal Touch
The denim jacket is a piece that can be worn by anyone, in any way. With that being said, don’t be afraid to show off your personal style when it comes to styling it! If you love vintage t-shirts, button down Oxfords, or short-sleeve shirts, they will all look great underneath the right denim piece.
