4 Ways to Style a Denim Jacket

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at CWU chapter.

It’s no secret that a good denim jacket is a staple in every college girl’s closet. Even back when in the early 200’s, denim jackets have been a wardrobe essential for as long as I can remember. The best thing about denim jackets is that it can transform an outfit from formal and dressed up, to casual and sporty or cute cute and comfy. The possibilities are endless for this staple and all of us know and as college fashionistas on a budget, options and visibility is always welcome. So with out further adieu, here are a few of our favorite ways to style a denim jacket.

Fan Girl Favorite

Ultimate model/W.A.G, Kate Upton sported this custom denim jacket as she cheered on her hubby at the World Series. This super cute combo makes her outfit say “Team spirit, but make it fashion.” Denim jackets are perfect for a crispy fall Saturday game. Layer it with your school sweatshirt and a baseball hat and you may just give Kat here a run for her money. (She just married an MLB super star, she’s doing fine.) 

Dress It Down

A denim jacket is the perfect casual touch to go with any of your favorite dresses. Its a perfect transition piece to layer over your summer dress that you aren’t quite ready to put in the back of your closet yet. The extra layer is perfect for fall or spring and works with almost any color, pattern, or shape!

Comfy Casual 

This is an all time favorite look because it looks good on everyone! A denim jacket with your favorite pair of Vans, a neutral top and pant a pair of edgy pants, is a low maintenance look that will keep you compfy but cute af in class, the mall, the grocery store or wherever the world may take you.

Business Casual Babe

Just because you’re in the office doesn’t mean you can’t rock a denim jacket! Office fashion has many faces and denim is not exclusive to casual Fridays. Throw a light wash D.J. in with a pencil shirt, blouse and you’ll be ready for anything the work place has to throw at you, and if you can’t, at least you’ll look good trying.
