How to Style Your Denim Jacket
I have a secret love affair with denim. There I said it 😆
Just like we search for the perfect mate, we search for that perfect denim piece that meets our every need! We want it to fit like a glove. We want it to bend and stretch with us. We want it to fit snugly against our bodies, yet enable us to breathe and live without being restricting. I have a serious jean addiction but the true love of my heart is my classic denim jacket. It truly steals the show and here’s why:
You can wear it any time of year - I love that you can wear it as a light jacket for those chilly summer evenings walking on the beach, or you can wear as an extra layer in the winter time over a button up shirt but will fit nicely under your down winter jacket.
You can wear it with any outfit - seriously a denim jacket goes with literally everything! I love to bring mine with me when I travel so that I can mix and match it to every outfit. It’s the PERFECT item for your capsule outfit.
It can style it up or style it down - I love that you can add it as a cover layer over a cute summer cap sleeve bodycon dress, with a pair of flats or sneaks and you are ready to shop or meet your friend for a lunch date. OR add a white denim layer to your blue jeans and tee-shirt, with a pair of red heels and you are ready for a night on the town!
It never goes out of style - The first denim jacket was created by Levi Strauss in 1880. It is literally timeless! The denim jacket was created and initially well known for it’s durability of the working class. Fun Fact - in the 1950’s they were considered nonconfirmist and rebellious and were banned from schools for a short time! Now known as an expression of individuality, they are now the symbol of ‘cool’.
It suits any style - As a timeless piece, the denim jacket has been worn by the likes of James Dean, Marilyn Monroe and modern day’s Rihanna, this staple piece knows no bound of style. Classic, natural beauty, romantic or trendsetter, this piece is one of the most versatile pieces you can own.
It makes you look cool and chic with minimal effort - Seriously, a no brainer. This piece is the essential in ANY capsule wardrobe - hands down! If you don’t have one, now is the time to go and grab it!

THE CLASSIC FINISH TO A TRENDSETTER LOOK
I wear my denim jacket ALL. THE. TIME. that it it seriously a running joke with my colleagues that I’m referred to as the ‘girl with the cute jean jacket’ and I am not mad about it! I wear it with skirts, dresses, cute linen pants - all the things!
Because it’s a staple piece, it’s worth making an investment in a qood quality jacket. Here are some of my favorites:
A great economical option is from Old Navy which you can find HERE I had this one FOREVER and left it somewhere a few years back never to be found again 😥),
Lately though, I have found myself investing in one that is more structured like this one featured HERE from Lucky Brand.
I also am a sucker for a classic crisp blue denim like this one from Anthropologie - ooooh and the cut of this one is AMAZING.
And there are SO many different options when it comes to denim: color, cut, length, one with hoodies, embellishments - anything goes! I LOVE the versatility of it all yet nothing more essential than the basic structured cut at the waist stretch denim jacket - CLASSIC must have piece!
