30 Days of Outfit Ideas: How to Style a Denim Jacket

January 10, 2018 By: Nada Manley6 Comments

There is almost no outfit that I can think of that doesn’t instantly look fresher, hipper and more youthful with the addition of a denim jacket. It’s an instant de=frumpifier. And yes, I did just invent that word, but it was sorely needed.

Anyway, a denim jacket can make the stuffiest outfit relax a little, which is quite an accomplishment from something with such humble roots. But of course you need the right denim jacket.

Best Denim Jackets for Every Budget

There isn’t a wardrobe that wouldn’t benefit from this classic, but how to pick the right one? Look for a medium blue wash, classic denim details and no embellishments, special collars or superfluous lining. I rarely say this, but in the case of a jean jacket, the simpler the better.
