3 Simple Outfits With A Denim Jacket
Denim jackets are staples in my fall and spring outfits, but I also wear them in the summer when the air conditioning is on, or when we’re on vacation by the water. Here are three denim jacket outfits that I wear often, and ways to modify them to create other chic looks.

1. Classic Denim Jacket + Tank + Wide Leg Pants + Chunky Sandals
What I’m Wearing:
Why It Works:
This outfit is a nice balance of structure (the denim jacket) and softness (the drapey linen pants). The chunky Birkenstocks balance the volume of the wide leg pants, while the ribbed tank keeps the outfit from looking loose all over (i.e., frumpy).

2. Fitted Denim Jacket + T-shirt Dress + Flats
What I’m wearing:
Why it works:
Like my first outfit, the denim jacket adds structure to an otherwise soft outfit (the t-shirt dress). The shorter jacket and the longer dress follow the rule of thirds.
In case you aren’t familiar with the rule of thirds, it’s the idea that 1/3 of your length should be covered by a certain style or color, and the other 2/3 by another. In this case, the denim jacket covers 1/3 of my body while the brown dress and shoes cover the other 2/3.

3. Classic Denim Jacket + Midi Skirt + Sandals
What I’m wearing:
Why it works:
This skirt is slimmer around the waist and hips, unlike the tiered skirts we’ve seen the past couple of years. So, it doesn’t add a lot of bulk under the hem of the denim jacket.

Which Denim Jacket Styles Are Trending?
Both of my denim jackets are older styles, but still relevant because they are classic styles. If you already have a classic jacket, try one of these trending styles to update your denim jacket outfits.
Of course, other denim jackets are currently in style (like peplum jackets), but these are the ones that work best in these outfit formulas.
FAQs About Denim Jackets
I’m curious, how many denim jackets do you own? I currently have 6, and I’m thinking about adding a short-sleeved one to my collection!
