Why A Denim Jacket is the PERFECT Fashion Staple

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

“But denim jackets are expensive!” some may whine, and yeah, some of them might cost over $50 at the retail store, but if you are like me and enjoy a good thrifting adventure, you may come across that perfect jacket that changes your life. I am not even joking–from the moment you spot the jacket hanging on the rack, pull it off the hanger, and put your arms in those sleeves, you will feel like a completely new woman. Who knew that something so simple could take your outfit from 0 to 100? If you don’t yet own a denim jacket, it is time that you head out to find one because they are amazing. For proof, here are six cute styles and things you can do with a denim jacket!

1. Be basic yet still cute

Nothing is wrong with being cute and casual!

2. Paint that thing

Grab some paints, go to town, and make it your own.

3. Patch it up

Find some cute patches and iron them right on! Make a statement and do a bunch like this girl did, or keep it cute and simple with just one.

4. Get your embroidery on

This one might take some time, but the end result will be adorable!

5. Fabric pocket or studs

Whether you attach some fun fabric to the pockets or add some studs, it’s another simple, yet cute way to update that denim jacket and make it one of a kind!

6. Go wild and acid wash that thing

This look is fun as heck and is definitely making a comeback!
