In this blog post we will take you through the DOS and Don't from this iconic combo. So, strings, we go on a fashion adventure!
Why combine a jacket and jeans?
Let's face it: a jacket adds a touch of class to every outfit. But you don't always want to be "overdressed", right? That is where good jeans come to the rescue. Jeans keeps the whole casual, while a jacket gives the outfit that little bit extra.
The perfect jacket: look at the fit!
The fit is the holy grail of each item of clothing. In the case of a jacket, note the shoulders, sleeves and length. The seams must fall on your natural shoulders, the sleeves just have to come to your wrists and the length? It must come to just below your buttocks. Don't forget, if you think a great vintage jacket does not fit, you can always call in a tailor for some nice adjustments!
Jeans: the rules
Jeans come in all shapes and sizes. For this look I recommend keeping it simple. Go for a darker wash without cracks or wear; This makes the look more "off" and lets the jeans go well with the jacket. Skinny, Slim of Straight - The choice is yours. Just make sure it fits well!
The balance between casual and formal
If you want a more casual look, choose a jacket in a relaxed material such as a cotton-linen mix or corduroy. A somewhat more formal setting? Then go for a dark, plain jacket. The same applies to your jeans: a neat, plain jeans is more formal, while jeans with a lighter wash and some texture is more casual.
Shoes and accessories
With a jacket and jeans, shoes are really the "finishing touch." For a casual look you can opt for neat sneakers or loafers. If you want to keep it a little more formal, then Brogues or Monk Straps are a good option.
Never underestimate the power of good accessories. A nice belt, a stylish watch and maybe a pocket square can really do wonders.
