What is a Jean Jacket?
Chances are you’ve seen them before: You know, those cute jackets made from denim that both men and women wear. They usually have a blue color like that of jeans. Their rise in popularity makes them a must-have among guys and chicks of all ages.
Jean Jacket Wearing Guidelines
You’ll never go wrong with the following simple laws:
- Wearing a longer jacket over shorts or minidresses is a wardrobe faux pas- a coat that hits higher at your natural waist or right at your hips attractively maintains your sexy proportions.
- Use your coat as an inner mid-layer- consider layering your jean jacket beneath your floral trench coat or plaid blazer instead of on top.
- Don’t worry, you’ll still be warm and get a bonus of a sweet pop of blue.
- Rock different blue washes at the same time- get creative (and crazy) if you’re going for a head-to-toe denim look.
- Consider a matching set in anything apart from blue- if a monochrome look is more your thing, go for pieces from a similar label in the same wash or hue.
- Roll the sleeves of an oversize jacket- you wouldn’t want to look like a kid playing dress-up, would you? Aim to roll the sleeves between your wrist and several inches above your hands.
- Match slim-fit bottoms with oversize cuts- no matter what pants you wear, they must fit pretty close to your leg to help maintain your shape even with the denim magic going on.
