A jean jacket, also called a denim jacket or trucker jacket is a jacket made from denim. Introduced in the United States in the late 19th Century, it has been a popular type of casual apparel with both men and women and has been described as an iconic element of American fashion. It has timelessly enjoyed a more general appeal.
From the place of normal clothing, denim has risen to be a fashion must have and is being adorned by fashion forward gentlemen. If you’d like to add a denim jacket to your closet, choosing one comes down to thinking about two main qualities: FIT and COLOUR.
FIT:
As with all garments fit is king with the jean jacket. You don’t want the jacket to either be too baggy nor too tight.
A well-fitted jacket should exhibit these qualities;
*Fits over the thickest top you plan to wear it with.
*Can be buttoned up without tightness or pulling when worn over a T-shirt (denim jackets) are not commonly buttoned up
Remember to leave at least the other top and bottom buttons undone
Color:
While denim jackets are available in a variety of colors these days, blue is the most classic and versatile. You could choose edgy black or contemporary white or grey.
Partner a denim jacket with a T-shirt, black jeans and sneakers for a super cool casual look.
NB: If you’re looking for the ultimate casual design or something to wear in summer try opting for a light blue hue.
Dressing for the colder months, dark blue is appropriate.
Black Denim
Black Denim is a stylish option for gents and an excellent alternative to a leather jacket. It suits both casual and smart casual outfits and can be paired with about just about anything in your wardrobe.
White /Grey Denim
