Denim vests aren’t just for biker babes or cowgirls!  This staple updates classic outfits, making them look more stylish, and can even add a layer of warmth.  Age doesn’t matter.

Usually we think of wearing a denim vest on laid-back days.  But it can also dress down something fancy so that you can wear your special clothes anytime.

On cold days, you can add a denim vest under a jean jacket, or wear it over a cozy sweater with a scarf.

Besides denim blue, it comes in colors, patterns and sometimes with embroidery.

Unless the denim vest comes with matching jeans, it looks best with jeans in a different color or at least a different shade of blue.  It’s nice to let it stand alone as one denim piece and pair it with bottoms in a different material, like faux leather or ponte knit.  I would even dare say you could wear it with lace or chiffon or tulle.

About Sin

Back when I was 20 something, I knew a guy who got a really creative haircut.  I asked him where he got it done.  He directed me to Sin, who was doing hair in her basement back then.  I had her try some daring do’s on me, and we’ve been friends ever since!

Today, she co-owns Paula’s Barber Shop in the Historic Depot Town of Ypsilanti, Michigan, where she is known for doing Rock ‘n’ Roll Hair.  She also teaches art and guitar.

Sin very graciously sent me photos of her style and took photos of her wardrobe items.  She said, “These are all I could find not in stage wear!”  Just so you know, Sin dresses like this every day…

So I present to you Sin showing us her glam rock look.  Following her tips and looks is a glam rock wardrobe capsule based on what she’s wearing in the photos.  She said, “Mix and match, to create any look!” Continue Reading
