I am glad to see the weather in Vancouver has been much nicer; and now I can wear my denim jacket with no shame!! I find it hard to dress lately since the temperature is inconsistent throughout the day in this transitional season. It is chilly in the morning and evening meanwhile it is very warm in the afternoon. I feel very silly carrying the bulky winter coats around. To get through all the unpredictable weather, denim jacket has been my go-to item besides my hoodies. Denim jackets can easily go with any outfits and that’s why they are perfect outerwear for any occasions.

Denim jackets are so versatile that you can wear them with anything from formal to informal. They are pretty much great for all seasons and they can blend in any looks you want. You don’t have to worry about whatever you wear not going to go well with the denim jacket. Jean jackets come in different shades: black, white, grey, classic blue and lots more. I personally like to stick with blue; but even classic blue also comes in light, medium, and dark wash. Lighter wash tends to look more casual which usually is more popular in Spring and Summer. Besides colour, the length and the waist of the jacket would totally affect the whole look. You have choices from chopped, classical, boyfriend fit etc.

No matter what colour and cut you go for, you can always get an awesome look out of it. Jean jacket looks good with flirty dress or skirt; and it can add a touch of causality to the feminine outfit. Denim jacket with maxi dress might sound like an odd combination, but they actually work very well together to create a ’70s vibe. Or you cannot go wrong with denim on denim – denim jacket with a chambray shift and a pair of ripped jeans. During Fall and Winter, you can also use your jean jacket underneath the winter coats as a layering piece.

I cannot wear anything denim at work but that doesn’t stop me from wearing my jacket with my work wardrobe off work. Buying a denim jacket is an investment so it is very important that you go for one you feel comfortable yet you love the fit/style. Jean jackets definitely are must-have in every girl’s closet. These light-weight year-around essentials will save you from the cold and still keep you stylish! Next time you wear you denim jacket, try something different: have the sleeves rolled up, have the collar popped, or have the jacket buttoned and belted it. You can get lots of looks with just one simple denim jacket.
