The versatile denim jacket
Being a lifelong denim lover, I’m always on the lookout for new ways to introduce a little indigo. Longer and less boxy than a traditional western denim jacket this J.Crew work wear style (available HERE) feels like a more versatile, user-friendly option. And, Ines de la Fressange always has a ‘coverall’ in her Uniqlo collection (available HERE)…
Now that the big coats are off (at least for the time being), it’s all about layering. While it’s not quite the same as the pyjama-style below, proportion-wise the grown-up denim jacket could be layered up, like this:
Underneath the Finery bouclé coat HERE. Or with rolled up jeans/ kick flares/culottes and flat shoes like this:
This belted safari style from Frame Denim (available HERE) proves there are plenty of ways to do denim. Perfect with palazzo pants or a knee length pleated metallic skirt – and very seventies Yves Saint Laurent.
Here are some more non-traditional styles – do you double up with a denim jacket?
I’ve been considering all the comments on older models from the ‘Fashion for grown-ups’ post yesterday and more realistic imagery is obviously something we all agree on. I’m planning a more detailed follow-up soon.
Love those first two denim jackets, Alyson. But since we are still deep in heavy coat weather here in Ottawa, I’ll just be looking for a while. By the way…is the woman in the bouclé coat the actress who starred in the television series “The Tunnel?” We loved that series about a joint English/French murder investigation.
