Is there any item more versatile than a denim jacket? It’s the first thing we reach for in the fall when the days get cooler, and in the spring when winter recedes. It’s the thing that saves us in restaurants where the air conditioners are on full blast, and on the beach in the evening when we decide to take a romantic stroll.
But the popularity of denim jackets has a dark side: every season new trendy models appear, and it is impossible to buy them all. However, according to stylists, this is not necessary: it is enough to find one “eternal” thing and style it correctly – here’s how to do it right.
Buy a mid-length denim jacket
Fast fashion is constantly changing, but the mid-length denim jacket is a classic.
“Such a jacket will always be relevant, plus it ends at the natural waistline and emphasizes it,” explains stylist Elizabeth Kosich. Another option Kosic advises to look at is a denim jacket with a belt: “It adds curves, which is especially good for women who have changed their figure after 50,” says the stylist.
Try on the “Canadian tuxedo”
The denim total-look has been worn by seemingly every star of the past and present, from Elvis Presley to Britney Spears. Kosich advises not to be afraid to combine a denim jacket with jeans – it’s a simple and effective solution, which is very easy to style with accessories – for example, a bright silk scarf or a brown leather bag, which looks great with blue fabric.
Add fancy pants
The Canadian tuxedo is not the only spectacular combination. Stylist Jill Marinelli advises to complement the denim with a white T-shirt and actual pants that you like: light knitwear will successfully contrast with denim, and bottoms – for example, green cargos – will allow you to create an individual and bright image.
Wear a jacket with a sundress
According to Marinelli, it’s the perfect combination for the changing seasons, and it’s also a great solution for women who want to wear a comfortable bra with wide straps even with sundresses – the jacket will close them, and you don’t have to worry about someone noticing your underwear.
Just slip it over your shoulders
Slipped over the shoulders, a denim jacket gives the look a slight carelessness and the figure a fragility. “It doesn’t just cover your shoulders, it looks chic,” says Marinelli. It’s a technique that stylists and stars use all the time – it’s very simple, but it gets great results.
