What to wear with
After choosing the right model, a natural question arises: what do men wear with a denim jacket? There may be many options here, but you still need to be able to choose the right outfit. Recommendations:
- A traditional, familiar set for everyone - a denim jacket with jeans. The tandem is still relevant today. An important condition is that the items should differ in shade, trousers are chosen in a darker tone. Long untucked T-shirts, checkered shirts or turtlenecks will also fit here, semi-sporty shoes will be a good addition.
- Trousers made of other materials will also go well with a men's denim jacket with a hood. For example, choose corduroy, cotton trousers or woolen sportswear.
- Smart casual style lovers wear a classic shirt, linen trousers and a tie under a distressed denim jacket.
- A white T-shirt and chinos are a comfortable and stylish option for every day. Elongated tapered shorts, cargo pants, and models with patch pockets are also suitable as a bottom. For the top under a denim jacket, choose long T-shirts, shirts, T-shirts (if it's warm) and sweaters, long sleeves, turtlenecks (in cold weather).
- For the college style, semi-sporty pants (material - thick knitwear), a T-shirt (the sleeve should be extended), an informal cut shirt are suitable. The image is complemented by a scarf, you can put on a cap and a wide belt, suspenders, a tie. The shirt is worn tucked in, the pants can be rolled up. A white shirt is suitable for a formal event.
Shoes should be chosen correctly so as not to spoil the whole set. A hooded jacket goes well with sneakers and trainers. For a biker look, you can choose moccasins or derbies, loafers, oxfords. Classic style shoes and boots are worn under a standard denim jacket. The street option involves any comfortable shoes. High boots with a rough thick sole, high sneakers, and models insulated with fur are suitable for the cold season.
To create a fashionable look, it is important not only to have an idea of the rules for combining things, but also to know how to wear a denim jacket. Clothes can be buttoned up (it’s better not to button all the way up, but to button 2–3 in the middle) or worn unbuttoned. It is fashionable to roll up your sleeves and wear your collar up or down – as you like.
An interesting look can be achieved by using a denim jacket as an intermediate layer, wearing other outerwear on top.
How to combine colors
The most fashionable colors of men's denim jackets this season are: universal blue (and its dark and light variations), various bright shades (red, green, orange, purple), calm tones (beige, khaki, brown). Of course, classics are relevant - white and black items are always in demand. Denim jackets of dark, blue or light blue colors can be considered universal, they can be worn with clothes of any shade.
When planning a look, it is important to remember some rules. If you choose a completely black set, the bottom and top should be the same shade. For a blue tandem, you should choose things that differ in tone, and it is better to take darker pants. When preference is given to flashy colors, you need to add an accessory of the same shade to the image (sometimes this is a very small detail - colored lacing, a print on sneakers or a strip on the cuff of trousers).
Clothes (shorts, trousers, top) for a denim jacket are also selected in accordance with the color. Shoes can be of a similar tone to the item or make a bright contrast. If a classic image is being created or a biker model is used, it is better to choose gray, brown, light blue and other calm shades for a blue jacket. An important point: a denim jacket is always an accent detail, the entire outfit is adjusted to it. The dark shade and laconic style dictate the selection of shoes and clothes in the same spirit.
The total denim look with a denim jacket requires following a simple rule: the top and bottom should not be the same shade, it is preferable to choose trousers of a darker color. In addition, it is better to make up such a wardrobe of a maximum of two elements made of this material - trousers and a jacket; a shirt made of the same fabric will already be superfluous.
Stylists' advice
To make sure your clothes are comfortable and the look you create is successful, you should consider your body type and height when choosing. Here are some helpful tips from professionals explaining how a denim jacket should fit:
- The item should be chosen according to size, it should be comfortable to move in. You should not choose oversized models (they look better on girls) or too tight ones, in which a man will not be able to turn or raise his arm.
- A well-fitting denim jacket will highlight your figure's advantages rather than highlight its flaws.
- Universal length - to the middle of the thigh. This option is suitable for any type of figure.
- Skinny guys will suit a tight model. If a man is plump, especially in the upper part of the figure, then a tight denim jacket will look ridiculous.
- A short tapered model can be worn by a man of short stature. Those who are taller will look good in elongated styles.
- Men who have extra volume in this part of the body should not wear short jackets that expose the hips.
Quality men's denim jackets can be recognized by several features. They do not restrict movement, fit well on the figure, favorably emphasizing the silhouette. Products should be selected from durable material, neatly stitched (with even lines, without protruding threads). Good fabric will not begin to deform over time, become translucent, or stretch when worn. You should also pay attention to the quality and functionality of the fittings. You should trust proven, well-known brands.
