Denim jackets: A classic slice of American life
A denim jacket is as American as apple pie – but no matter where you live, it deserves a place in your wardrobe. This classic style looks great for casual days. If you want a traditional jean jacket, then it's all about the details. It should have the same style elements as a pair of jeans. That means top stitching in a contrast colour, as well as special jean buttons running down the front. Denim jackets are available in all the colours of jeans. Choose one in a classic stone wash, go for another shade of blue or, if you want to make a statement, look for something more unexpected. A white denim jacket is a fashion classic, while pink or yellow will give you your own signature style.
Wearing a denim jacket with a twist
Of course, not all denim jackets have a jean styling. If you want to embrace denim differently, there are plenty of opportunities. One of the best ideas is to look for a classic jacket that just happens to have been made from denim. For example, a denim blazer offers a new and exciting twist on tradition and allows you to look a little more dressed down and casual. Long denim coats are another intriguing style that will make you stand out from the crowd, while denim bombers are a great way of getting a street-inspired look. Don't feel limited to jean jackets – let your imagination lead the way!
How to style your favourite jean jacket
First, never forget the golden rule: Double denim is an absolute no-go. That means your denim jacket should never be worn with jeans or a denim skirt. It'll look good with leggings or with other pants, though, particularly capris in summer. One of the best ways to rock the androgynous lines of a denim jacket is by mixing it with something a bit more feminine. Try it over the top of a floaty maxi dress, or wear it with a sweet daytime dress. For best results, choose a classic blue jacket, and pair it with a dress that's got a small, delicate print – florals work really well here. Your choice of footwear depends on how girly you want to go. You could stick with trainers for a casual look, or keep it sweet with a delicate pair of sandals.
