Hi Irfan,
Thanks for writing.
A good denim jacket is a must for every guy's closet. But if you're still sporting the denim jacket style Judd Nelson rocked in The Breakfast Club, it's definitely time for an upgrade.
You should start with the fit and material of the denim jacket. The old '80s baggy look is no longer flattering. Think of your jacket as a replacement for a cardigan or sweater. The fit should be a little snug, but big enough to fit a fine gauge sweater underneath. This gives the jacket more versatility as a layering piece. You can also wear it under a thicker jacket or even a vest. And if you're not a fan of the restricting denim material, look for a jacket that has a little bit of elastane for a comfortable stretch.
Yes, you can wear a denim jacket with jeans, but as a rule of thumb the jacket and the jeans should be roughly two shades apart. Forget this rule, and it'll look like a denim tux. We also suggest pairing a beat-up distressed jacket with a clean pair of denim or vice versa. A safe bet is to pair it with any color chino.
Now denim jackets come in more colors and fabrics than the classic blue, so don't be afraid to invest in a brown, rust, or even white version. Follow these tips and you'll be able to put more use to that Levi's denim jacket.
Hope it helps.
