How to wear a denim jacket for men ?
The men’s denim jacket is an essential and timeless item. It has been in fashion for decades and it can be worn with any of your other clothes to ensure that all of your outfits look stylish. But what’s the best way to wear a denim jacket? What does it go with? Which one should you choose? Le Temps des Cerises, the jeans specialists, will explain all!
Models of men’s denim jackets
It’s tough to choose from the thousands of men’s denim jackets! These jackets are really fashionable and so many different types are available. And they are reinvented every year so that they stay modern without losing their timeless style.
Various colours and stonewashes to suit all styles
Men’s denim jackets aren’t just limited to a basic choice between dark blue or light blue. These days, thanks to their ever-growing success, the range of colours has grown to ensure that there is something for everyone: khaki, white, black and several flashier colours for those with more daring dress sense.
The originality of the denim jacket comes from its stonewash. This way of ageing the denim or even making it look very worn imbues it with all of its character. The stonewashes that give denim jackets their carefully developed vintage look are actually the speciality of Le Temps des Cerises.
Carefully developed details for a more original look
When you are trying to choose the right denim jacket, every detail counts:
- The buttons and/or zips;
- Heavier or lighter fabric (sometimes with a woollen lining for winter);
- The number of pockets;
- Stitching that provides contrast or matches with the rest of the jacket;
- Baggy, straight or close-fitting cut;
- Any embroidering or prints;
These are the key criteria for choosing a denim jacket that will match up with your style, your fashion sense and your wardrobe.
A few rules for choosing your denim jacket
To make sure that you look great, it is essential to choose the right denim jacket. To do this, there are a few rules to follow:
- Opt for a 100% cotton denim jacket;
- Check the quality of the stitching and trimmings;
- Have at least one jacket in a basic colour in your wardrobe (dark or light blue);
- Choose a denim jacket that suits your body type.
Wearing the right denim jacket for your body type
There’s no mystery about it: men’s denim jackets, like all clothes, should be chosen to suit your body type.
For all body types
In order to avoid making any mistakes, opt for a close-fitting denim jacket that is neither too baggy nor too tight. You will be sure to look stylish and avoid any fashion faux pas.
If you are tall
An oversize denim jacket, which is very fashionable, will also look great on you! This model has a casual and trendy look that will make you stand out. Make the most of it!
If you are slim
Go for a close-fitting or straight cut denim jacket to flatter your body shape if you are slim.
If you are stocky
Try to avoid jackets that are too baggy or tight. A fairly close-fitting cut is the men’s denim jacket you need, no doubt about it!
A few looks featuring a men’s denim jacket
Good news: denim jackets go with all styles! Here are a few ideas for looks to help you match it up with other items from your wardrobe.
A casual chic look with a men’s denim jacket
A denim jacket is the essential item for a casual look, particularly during the spring-summer season. There is nothing easier for looking stylish: slip on a pair of beige chinos with a light-blue denim jacket and a basic t-shirt. For the shoes, opt for a pair of moccasins or deck shoes. A simple and efficient look that can be worn around town or at work.
Casual style with a denim jacket
Denim jackets are a perfect fit for casual looks. For a sportier look you can wear a pair of tracksuit trousers with your denim jacket, with the sleeves rolled up, along with your best pair of white trainers. Not forgetting some sunglasses for the extra trendy touch! If the weather is not so warm, you can add a hoodie to wear open under the jacket for an even cooler look.
What about the all-denim look?
An all-denim look can sometimes be tricky to manage. To make it a success and to avoid making a faux pas, you can use some layering by slipping on jeans and a sweater to be worn under your denim jacket. The golden rule to avoid making a mistake: always ensure that the colours of the denim jacket and the jeans are different.
Stylish in winter with a denim jacket
Wearing a denim jacket in winter is possible! The version that comes with a woollen lining is very popular when the temperature drops. It goes perfectly with a checked shirt, a beanie hat and some nice ankle boots.
An original look with a denim jacket
If you want to stand out from the crowd, go for the daring choice of a highly original denim jacket: printed, patchwork, with embroidering… have some fun! Try to avoid overloading your look though: wear this type of jacket with some of the simpler items from your wardrobe to avoid overdoing it! Then choose your best pair of sneakers to round off this outfit and to hit the heights of fashion!
And if you want to add another string to your bow, choose a denim overshirt, an item that is halfway between a denim shirt and a denim jacket. A new essential item to add to your collection of denim clothes, making you as stylish as possible!
