How to wear denim shirts and jackets?
The denim top in a men's styling can turn out fantastic. Thanks to it, your look gets a more casual, comfortable, modern and urban character. A denim jacket or a denim shirt are the unchallenged hits as they are great outerwear for many occasions. Use them on vacation, at the weekend, a night out downtown and even at work. To wear them properly, get to know some tips how to match them with other clothes.
Colours and cuts do matter
Almost every denim jacket or denim shirt can look perfect. While deciding on a purchase, it's good to pick the universal models because you can use them every day. What's important? The colour! Denim outerwear should be neither too dark nor to light. The first ones are hard to match up with other clothes, the second ones are more casual and would be rather unsuitable for formal events. Try out blue denim shirts and jackets with slight shadings. While choosing a denim shirt, go with a slim fit model, which nicely underlines the silhouette. Feel free to wear it as outerwear, but also together with a casual blazer. The best models among jackets are the classic short ones with a collar and two front pockets.
You can also choose a jacket fitting well into the current fashion trends, which is additionally decorated by zippers, stonewashings and colourful sew-on badges. Remember that the more decorations, the less universal the jacket is.
Everyday denim shirt
A classic denim shirt can be worn on many ways. It's a great element of typically casual outfits. If you decide to put on a denim shirt, you may match it with a regular pair of jeans (here you have to notice that the colour of trousers and the shirt should differ). Create an interesting duet with a shirt and elegant cotton chino trousers or even comfortable streetwear trousers. Which ones look best? For sure joggers and baggy trousers. If it comes to colours, place a bet on universal black, or better – beige and the shades of brown.
A denim shirt in casual outfits
Two-part outfits are only one of many propositions. Both denim shirts and denim jackets work well on a T-shirt or a longsleeve. In such sets, well-fitted V-neck T-shirts in toned colours look best. Don't hesitate and boost up the look with a T-shirt in an energetic colour and an eye-catching print.
If you decide on having such an image, it's good to think about details and accessories. In a denim shirt, you can fasten only a few buttons, you can roll up the sleeves and partly untuck it. Accessories? Surely sunglasses and stylish men's jewellery, e.g. a leather bracelet or a modern one made of metal. Don't forget about a trendy colourful cap.
A denim shirt can be also used in a more original way. Include it in a casual outfit to work or set it with a T-shirt after hours. Complete the styling with chino trousers and a casual blazer with elbow patches. Stylish, with class, yet comfortable.
A denim jacket for special tasks
The perfect denim jacket will work well with typical sport clothes. The most attractive is the one set together with a cotton shirt, sporty joggers or baggy trousers and trendy sneakers. Feel free to match it with a comfy hoodie or a sweatshirt and shorts. How about setting it with a flannel checked shirt? The result will be nothing but charming. Complete such a stylish outfit with a T-shirt, black joggers with decorative zippers and comfortable sneakers.
While looking for a denim jacket to casual sets, you can go a bit more fancy than usual. For example, there are eye-catching denim jackets with contrasting sleeves and a detachable hood. They work well as outerwear and are warm. Moreover, they resemble a classic sweatshirt with a denim vest. Such jacket looks good itself, but there's a possibility to improve it even more. All you have to do is to add sporty trousers with urban zippers, a printed T-shirt and original accessories – bracelets, sunglasses, a sports watch or a cap.
