3. With Khakis/ Corduroys
Instead of wearing your denim jacket over those boring jeans, wear it with pants or bottoms made from different materials. Corduroy pants or khaki cargo pants are a great option for denim jackets. The rough look of these bottoms created a nice balance with the ruggedness of denim. There are multiple choices available in in corduroy and khaki which prevents your style from looking too monochromatic. You can choose either short or long pants to go with look.
4. With a Maxi Skirt
A cropped denim jacket paired with a plain or printed maxi skirt has the potential to become your next go-to weekend look. It is just perfect for the garden or a summer party. Pick out a feminine silhouette that suits your body the best to achieve perfection. Pair it with a straw bag and a Panama hat and you’re ready to make a statement. So casual and yet too dreamy!
5. With a Floral Dress
A denim jacket paired with printed dresses is the easiest to work with! A jean jacket will work with nearly any print or color. The dress could have a tropical print, leopard print, neon or pastel. The denim jacket tones down the loud colors with its subtle hue. This look is perfect for the music festival. Just don’t forget the ankle booties!
