One piece of denim gives years of wear— thanks to its all-season wearability. It is also universally-flattering and androgynous, as well as lightweight and ideally cotton-made. Denim shirts and jackets make a great choice of wear for summer. Besides, being low-maintenance and a fantastic layering piece, a denim jacket is light enough to keep you cool in the breezy, spring weather and warm enough to protect from the fall chill.
If you fancy the classic fit, blue wash denim jacket, you have to avoid buying cheap bargains that are even cheaper-looking than what you paid for. Even though with a blue jean jacket, the pairing possibilities are endless and not looking cheap is your biggest challenge.
THE CLASSIC BLUE JEAN JACKET AND SHIRT
Hence, you have to invest in an expensive-looking blue denim jacket in a clean-looking wash. Avoid faded or wornout versions. In this case, a darker wash is a better option because it looks fresh, stylish, more of-themoment and creates a slimming effect.
For a fail-safe approach, a denim jacket goes on top of an all-black outfit or an allwhite outfit is a nice spin to an otherwise monochrome look.
With trousers, flared trousers, leggings, skirts, a denim shirt as a top should be a match made in heaven. With both short and long dresses, or over jumpsuits as outerwear, a blue jean jacket works a charm to create an effortless, everyday look!
You can finish off the look with white sneakers for a sporty appearance. Or combine nude heels and a vintage beige bag for a smart-casual look.
DENIM WITH A TWIST
If you wish to switch things up and be more fashion-forward and unique, pick out two-toned, printed, patterned, embroidered, patch worked and different washes of denim. These are your best and new ways of trying out denim without looking boring! You could dress up your bottoms or billowy dresses in even more creative and casually-cool ways.
To seal the deal, do justice to denim with structured accessories that lean on the neutral side. Tan, beige, fawn and cream colours of bags, belts and shoes add an expensive feel to your denim. Avoid acrylics and choose natural fabrics like leather or suede for a visually interesting combination.
