6 Ways to Style a Denim Jacket

It’s that awkward time of year where we can see a glimpse of spring, but winter keeps rearing its ugly head. Last week it was almost 70 degrees and yesterday it snowed – ugh! This makes it very difficult to figure out what to wear every day (and some days, it even changes by the hour). I want to show you how to style my favorite spring staple – the denim jacket! It’s such a versatile piece and you can wear it with more than just a pair of jeans.

1. Blue Denim on Blue Denim

Let’s start with the classic denim and denim! The key is to either match the denims or make sure the washes have plenty of contrast. If there’s not enough contrast, it could be a flashback to Britney and Justin – denim from head to toe! Instead of true jeans, I found these fun denim joggers. To complete the look, they were paired with a cropped boyfriend jacket (with a hood!).

2. White Denim with Blue Denim

To change it up a bit, don’t forget about white denim! This piece can brighten up any spring outfit. And, it’s a great option when your blue denim jacket is a bit too casual. I added a tied shirt and some mom jeans to go out for drinks with my friends.

3. Blue Denim with White Denim

You guessed it, it works the other way around, too! For a fun spring break look, add your blue denim jacket to white jeans. And yes, the old fashion rule of wearing white after Labor Day and before Memorial Day is definitely out!

4. Denim with Leggings

For a more casual look, try a jean jacket with black joggers or leggings. These are a few of my recent Amazon finds – a hooded denim jacket (the hood detaches!) and the best faux leather joggers. To add a bit of flair, I added a brooch and some of my favorite athleisure sneakers.

5. Denim with a Skirt

Yes, you can dress your denim jacket up! Style it with a skirt, maxi dress, or even a jumpsuit. Is it going to be a bit too cool for your Easter or graduation celebration? Don’t forget your jacket!

6. Denim and Joggers

Denim doesn’t have to be boring! Add a brooch like above or check out this cute one with the Chicago skyline on the back. It’s in stock for a few different city skylines (NYC, San Francisco, and more). I paired it with a hoodie and some olive green joggers. These joggers are so comfortable and can really change the look of your denim.
