Stitch Fix is a great resource when it comes to men’s fashion and their advice on how to make the most of your jean jacket is no exception. While jean jackets may be seen as being as versatile as a good old pair of blue jeans, some fashion choices are better than others when deciding what to pair them with.

1. Fit and Style

As with a pair of denim pants, the fit and style of your jean jacket comes first. Make sure that you choose a fit that’s both comfortable and will look nice with the rest of your clothes, Stitch Fix adds. You can then choose to wear your jacket open, or closed, with the collar popped, or the sleeves rolled up thanks to their amazing versatility.

2. Picking Complementary Clothes

Denim jackets are just as versatile when it comes to what you want to wear with them. A classic combination is going all dark with a black jean jacket over a dark shirt and pants. Alternatively, you can go for a more rugged look by wearing a flannel shirt and brown pants. Other legwear options include shorts, chinos, joggers, and even denim pants if you want to go for the denim-on-denim look. At Stitch Fix there are images that come along for you to visualize.

3. Footwear with a Denim Jacket

The good news is that you don’t have to put much thought into what kind of footwear you’re wearing when you wear a jean jacket. That said, it can be nice to pair a dark denim jacket with lighter-colored shoes. Blue jean jackets, on the other hand, Stitch Fix states that go well with earth tones and darker shoes.

Making the Best of Denim Jackets

Stitch Fix has some great advice for wearing jean jackets and bringing out their full potential. Sure, you can just throw one on and hope for the best and you probably won’t make a faux pas, but knowing how to actually wear and pair your jean jacket will definitely have you turning some heads.
