How to Wear Denim Jackets Fall/Winter

Denim on Denim

Although you can always wear a Canadian tuxedo, with a top and bottom in a matching shade of denim, I prefer the look of contrasting hues. Pair dark and light indigo or two different colors.

1. With a jean jacket and blue jeans, add a studded black purse + black heels with sheer black hose or black heeled booties. You might like to add a black beret.
2. Wear a denim jacket or chambray shirt unbuttoned as a jacket over a white sweater & blue jeans. Add over-the-knee boots & a statement necklace.

Layering

For extra warmth, layer a denim jacket under your coat and/or over a cardigan and top. Alternatively, you might like to add another jacket over your jean jacket.

1. Layer a jean jacket over a plaid shirt open over a graphic tee & jeans of any color. Add heels.
2. A jean jacket over a short-sleeve featherweight t-shirt + a black lace tank top or other lace top + black leggings + a semi-sheer skirt. Add a wrist full of bracelets.
3. Layer a fur vest and denim jacket over a top of your choice & pair with any color jeans or pants.
4. Add an extra layer of warmth by wearing a denim jacket under your coat and/or over a cardigan and a top of your choice.

Over a Dress

1. Wear a denim jacket over a black dress. Add black boots & bag + a long necklace, perhaps a y-necklace, + a chunky chain bracelet or chain cuff. Turn back the cuffs on the jacket.
2. Pair a denim jacket with a thermal dress. If cool, layer leggings underneath. Add a pendant, such as a crescent necklace + rings + boots + a fedora hat.
3. Try a leopard-print maxi dress with a jean jacket. Add tan ankle boots + a long gold necklace.

With a Turtleneck

1. A fitted black turtleneck + a flowing maxi skirt + a jean jacket. Add a long pendant & black booties with a chunky heel.
2. A black turtleneck + an animal-print skirt + a jean jacket. Add a pendant + gold bracelets with jacket cuffs turned back + black tights + black boots + a black purse. If sunny, add sunglasses. 
3. Button a jean jacket over a black turtleneck & distressed jeans. Flip up the collar on the jacket. Top with a black coat. If sunny, add sunglasses.

With a Skirt

1. Match or tone an oversized sweater to a satin midi skirt and top with a denim jacket. Add chandelier earrings & heeled tall boots.
2. Scrunch a black tank top over the waist of a black tiered skirt, then top with a denim jacket. Layer a few gold pendants. Add a concho belt + long gold earrings + a wrap bracelet + a black spiral bracelet + rings on both hands + a feather pin/brooch.
3. Combine a denim jacket over a blue scoop-neck top & a short brown skirt. Add a striped muffler.
4. Wear a denim jacket over a black tank top & a black maxi skirt. Add a fedora + ankle boots + a brown wrap bracelet. Fasten a narrow brown belt over the tank if it’s too long. 
   

   

5. Tuck a graphic tee inside a black midi skirt and top with a jean jacket. Add sneakers.
6. A jean jacket over an ivory embellished top + a long black skirt or crinkle skirt. Add chandelier earrings + bangles + black boots.
