How to style a denim jacket

The denim jacket is such an iconic piece. From James Dean to Mick Jagger and Marilyn Monroe to Rihanna. Since 1880 when Levi’s first invented it, the Denim jacket has been a well loved and well worn item of clothing. It’s been forgotten about over the last few years in favour of blazers and khaki workwear pieces, but i’m bringing it back to the fore and showing you how to get the most out of it.

I love how you can layer a denim jacket. A fitted one looks great done up under a coat/blazer or wear undone over a slouchy hoodie. There’s loads of different styles of denim jackets at the moment too from cropped to belted, so you can find one to suit your shape easily.

So drag it out from the back of your wardrobe and start wearing it again. And be brave. Mix your denims, team with a pretty midi dress or even wear it over your shoulders with a little black dress and heels - that denim is made to be worn!
