How to Style a Denim Jacket: 10 Outfits for Men
A denim jacket is one of the most versatile layers a man can own. The trick is getting the fit and wash right.
Choosing the jacket
- A mid or light wash is more versatile than dark
- The hem should hit at or just below the waist
- Shoulders should sit cleanly with room for a layer
- Skip heavy distressing and loud patches

The double-denim rule
If you wear denim on top and bottom, make the washes different. A light jacket with dark jeans always works.
Keep the rest of the outfit simple and let the jacket be the statement.
