The long denim jacket has been on trend for several decades. It goes perfectly with different styles, warms you up in cold weather and adds zest to your look. This wardrobe item suits representatives of the fair sex of different ages and builds, except perhaps for very stocky people.
Denim can be worn with skirts and dresses of different lengths, with shorts and overalls. But it looks most harmonious when paired with low-waisted trousers and leggings.
Features of trending models
In 2018, designers presented to the audience all kinds of jeans models that can satisfy even the most capricious fashionistas. Depending on the weather and mood, you can choose a light or warm option, with long sleeves or three-quarter sleeves. Lining, style, color – the choice is huge! How not to get lost in this variety of trendy models? Let's look at the main points.
What colors are in fashion?
Classic denim colors - blue and light blue - never go out of style. This denim pairs perfectly with different styles. Do you want something original? Then it is worth considering the following options:
- The milky jacket looks very fresh and elegant;
- The options in burgundy, dark green, and yellowish-brown look interesting;
- black denim will suit almost any look.
In reality, the color can be anything. The main thing is to combine things correctly, avoiding color overload.
Stylish decoration
At the height of fashion, denim jackets with scuffs and torn elements, abundant decor and bright prints. Thanks to inserts from other materials, the possibilities of combining jeans are significantly expanded. In warm weather, inserts made of leather, knitwear, guipure, openwork and chiffon look great, and in cold weather you should opt for jackets trimmed with fur.
Models with many rivets and original buttons give the image an ultra-fashionable and dynamic look. Popular options include acrylic patterns on the back, large beads, Swarovski crystals, sequin and beaded embroidery.
Interesting models with a hood and stand-up collar deserve no less attention.
Who can wear it?
To choose the best denim option, you should familiarize yourself with the following recommendations.
Little lady
Petite women tend to think that long jackets do not suit them. And completely in vain. Such denim will visually elongate your silhouette if you complement the look with the right shoes. Short girls should choose a straight cut without emphasis on the shoulders and waist.
Women with a non-standard figure
For people with wide shoulders and narrow hips, high-waisted models are suitable. This jacket will fit perfectly on a feminine hourglass figure, accentuating a wasp waist and hiding curvy hips. Those with an “apple” or “rectangular” figure should prefer wrap models that emphasize the waist.
Full ladies
The ideal choice for girls with appetizing shapes will be jackets of a laconic and discreet style. Another interesting option is sports jeans.
The long denim jacket has many variations. Thanks to this, any fashionista will be able to find a model that will favorably emphasize the charms of the figure and disguise flaws.
What to combine with?
- In summer, you can combine the jacket with an airy mini-dress, a guipure skirt, shorts and classic trousers.
- In winter, denim with fur trim can be complemented with lined trousers, shorts or a skirt with insulated tights and lace-up ankle boots. Stylish and not afraid of frost.
- An ultra-fashionable option is a denim total look. In this case, the jacket is combined with overalls, shorts, trousers or a denim skirt, denim ankle boots and bags.
- With denim you can create an elegant look in retro style. A shiny top, high-waisted shorts, leather low shoes, an oversized jacket, several rows of chains around the neck, daring congo earrings - and your stylish look is ready!
- Fitted denim with a colorful dress will make your look fashionable, delicate and feminine.
- A loose denim jacket paired with a floor-length skirt looks great. It is simply impossible to pass by a girl in such an original creative outfit without looking back. The best option is a satin, silk or chiffon maxi dress or skirt, a top with straps and denim, complemented with stiletto heels or wedges.
Taboo for a long jacket
Despite the fact that a denim jacket is an almost universal thing, it has some limitations:
- when combining loose denim with a dress, you should give preference to fitted or tight-fitting silhouettes, otherwise the figure will seem shapeless;
- a denim jacket paired with strict business-style items will look, to put it mildly, strange and illogical;
- jeans matched to the jacket should be 2-3 shades darker than it. If denim trousers are very different in color from denim or, conversely, completely coincide with it, the image will turn out tasteless.
By following these simple tips, every girl will be able to choose a bright, stylish and comfortable look.
