It also requires much less maintenance as compared to other more delicate clothes. Looking for proofs? Why don’t you twist, pull, stretch your denim jacket and check for yourself that it is NOT going to get ripped, in fact, even a wrinkle won’t be there for you to notice? Moreover, if you are buying from reputable brands like Levi’s then the lifespan of it will longer than a non-branded denim jacket!

- Can you wear a denim jacket with jeans?
Absolutely! As we’ll be showing you in today’s post, the denim on jeans trend is one of the best looks for a guy.
- How should the jacket fit?
Ideally, your jacket’s shoulder seams should be on your shoulders or slightly below it towards your arms but it should never be above your shoulders as this means that you’re wearing a size that’s too small for you. The jacket’s hem should be above your waistline so it just touches the top of your trousers. And finally, the fit should be such that you can close the buttons if you want to, though you never have to with a denim jacket.
- What colored denim jacket should I buy?
As you know, denim jackets are available in a number of different colors including blue, black, white and grey. In my opinion, if you can afford, you should get all of them. But if you’re only buying one then I would suggest the blue one as it’s the classic one.

Do not worry, we have got you covered. You just have to let these 5 steps lead you to the store and choose the best denim for yourself.
Easy Steps to Choose the BEST Denim
-
Look out for the Colour
Most of your time can be spent on choosing the colour and there are some simple tips that you can keep in mind before buying your jacket.
First of all, always look at all the available options. Before you head out to shop, you should always try to look online at different brands and see what options are available. Buying a jacket online is not recommended by me as you can’t be too sure of the sizing.
Secondly, try to select a color that will go with most of your outfits. Light-colored denim is usually the safest option as it blends well with all sorts and colors of clothes.

Are you choosing the Right Size?
Denim are not meant to be an oversized coat or a zipped jacket. They always had their way of wearing so when you are up for choosing your denim, make sure you end up not going for your size. Yes! You heard it right. If you wear Medium-sized clothes and upper wear, go for small size for your denim. You probably would be wondering why would I even go for a size smaller than what I wear. The answer is simple. Denim’s aesthetics come from the way you carry it and its style would not really suit you if you wear it off your size. You got to choose a size smaller than yours. That is the trick to carry out your best denim and how it can turn out to be good for you. You especially need to make sure that your shoulders are of the right fit. And for an extra tip, you can always wear an overcoat in extremely cold conditions.

Bottom Check
Another key step that people should take care of while going for denim is that they take care of their size from the hips. You do not want any shrugs hanging down from the back, all the way from shoulders to below hips. The perfect size should be right around the back of your waist and keeping it on the high end.
-
Where are the Pockets?
The biggest concern while buying the a Denim should be about its pockets. The pockets of Denim SHOULD always be at the front of the jacket. Having no pockets is not an option. You would rather want to buy a normal shirt if it does not have pockets. Pockets in Denim are as important as wheels are for cars; pointless in their absence.
