How to wear a jean jacket with black jeans or black pants
One of the easiest ways to wear a jean jacket is with black pants. The contrasting colors of black and the blue look great together. If you wear a jean jacket with black pants, you can wear either black jeans or even black leather pants. In my opinion, both options would look great. This is my go-to outfit when I want to throw something together very quickly and look chic. To complete the outfit, I recommend a lighter top underneath, such as a white or a tan color.
White pants look great with a jean jacket
Walking around the city, I've seen several people pair a jean jacket with a pair of white jeans, white linen pants, and white pants. In my opinion, I think either fitted white pants or a wide leg would look great! If you are pairing your jean jacket with a wide leg pant, then I recommend a more fitted jean jacket. If you have skinny pants on, both a fitted jean jacket and a loser fit jean jacket would look great. Shop jean jackets.
How to style a jean jacket with a dress
Wearing a jean jacket with a dress is my favorite style. This combination can be worn in the spring, summer and fall. The easiest way to style a jean jacket with a dress is with a solid color dress. A jean jacket is so easy to wear that practically any dress will look good. I gravitate towards wearing a sleeveless dress under my jean jacket, making the jacket fit better, and the sleeves don't look bulky.
What tops look best with a jean jacket?
If you are looking for a top that looks the best with a fitted jean jacket, I would recommend a basic v neck top, sweater, or button down in a solid color. Hopefully, you already have one or more of these pieces already in your wardrobe.
If you are styling an oversized denim jacket, then I recommend wearing a hoodie underneath the jacket. This gives off a casual but cool look! Shop oversized denim jackets.
Can I wear a jean jacket with blue jeans?
One of the most common questions you may be wondering when it comes to a jean jacket is can you wear a jean jacket with blue jeans? Well, that’s a great question. The simple answer is yes, you can wear a jean jacket with blue jeans. However, you must style them perfectly. If you don’t, you’ll end up looking like Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake in their famous jean outfit debacle of 2001 at the American Music Awards, which was an epic fail.
Back to the original question at hand, as I was saying, yes you can wear a jean jacket with blue jeans. The simplest trick when styling denim on denim is to make sure that one denim color is a lighter denim than the other. I recommend a lighter denim jacket, a neutral colored top (gray, white tee / white t-shirt, etc) and then darker jeans. This pairing works really well together. Shop jean jackets
