A jacket is an integral part of a man's wardrobe. It is impossible to imagine any fashionable look without this stylish item. What is best to pair it with? Is it suitable for informal settings? We'll talk about this and much more below.
Can I wear jeans with a jacket?
This mix seems very daring to us, and often impossible. But modern fashion trends welcome this kind of stylish pun. The combination of strict traditions and everyday trends, when the “classic” top and jeans are combined, is considered unusually beautiful. Confident freedom – these are the main advantages of this combination.
And this is quite justified: the jacket emphasizes elegant severity, and the trousers add a “zest” in the form of free informality.
By combining stylish ensembles, a man demonstrates good taste and always stands out against the background of everyday life.
It is important to find the right solution for a successful image that is appropriate for a specific environment.If in a business setting it is better to wear jeans of a laconic classic cut, then for a friendly meeting “ripped” or with a print are perfect.
How to choose the right jacket?
A categorical “no” to the combination of denim trousers with formal suit jackets. The same can be said about double-breasted models. Fashion designers agree that Sports-cut jackets go well with casual jeans:
- “jockey” – a jacket with 2 pockets located at hip level;
- cut in the “hunter” style - with shoulder inserts.
For a party A strict dark blazer with flaps on welt pockets, chosen exactly to size, would be appropriate. This is very important to highlight the figure and add elegance to a man's look.
How to define your style?
Always consider two things: the location where you plan to appear in this form, the impression you want to make, and also - in what way you will be more comfortable. Stylists recommend the following combinations:
Business
An excellent option: dark trousers (classic jeans) + a fitted shirt in light colors + a light jacket + shoes in dark colors.
A contrasting image looks impressive: light bottom and dark top.
Everyday
Light trousers (classic jeans) + dark shirt (in winter wear a jumper, pullover or turtleneck) + shoes (slip-ons/loafers/brogues). For a daily look, a checkered jacket is suitable.
Bright look for parties and clubs
Fantasize, but without fanaticism: faded jeans + a bright printed shirt + bow tie + jacket with a corner of the scarf in the breast pocket.
Important! Remember - only one detail should be bright.
Dandy style
Jacket trimmed with embroidery, pattern or unusual fittings + bright T-shirt with a pattern + “ripped” jeans.
