    If you're looking for a great staple, go with a light to medium wash denim jacket. If you're going to wear it primarily in the fall or winter, though, you can go with a darker wash.

    Denim jackets tend to be neutral colors like dark blue, black, or grey, which means they go well with a wide variety of colors. For a simple, classic look, wear a blue denim jacket with a white shirt and black pants. You could also try a jewel-toned top and khaki pants.

  • Question
    I'm looking to buy a denim jacket. Does it have to fit so that it can be buttoned up, or can I just leave it with a gap opening?

    You can buy a jacket that won't button up on you if you want to. Check that it's comfortable around the arms, that the sleeves are a length you are happy with. Make sure you can move comfortably in it. You need to do these things to make sure it does fit everywhere else. You can wear your denim jacket with a scarf draped down the front if you ever want to hide that it doesn't do up on you.

    HumanBeing

    Almost any color shirt works with a light blue denim. Some good options are white, navy blue or orange. To wear a coral pink denim jacket, try khaki pants and a white shirt, but really, anything goes. Wear what you think looks good.
  • Question
    What is the difference between men's and women's denim jackets?
    Community Answer
    The main difference is the way the buttons do up, men's buttons on the right, women's on the left. And as men tend to have bigger builds (wider chests and shoulders) than women, the cut may be slightly different depending on the brand. Unless you're really set on wearing women's or men's clothes, the way the jacket buttons up doesn't matter, just as long as the jacket fits you well.
