What comes around....is the feeling I get from the latest trend spotting on these stylish muses!At one time or another in our lives we have all owned a denim jacket, borrowed our boyfriend's or stumbled upon a rare vintage find in a shop that no longer exists!
Before we go walking too far down memory lane and you begin to dig through your closet...lets take a look at the new restructured denim jacket.
- Stretch: modern denim jackets have a hint of stretch to flatter the figure and give a more stream lined appearance rather than the old boxy shape of the past
- Wash: varying from acid to dark black anything goes this time around. Personally, I prefer a medium vintage wash as seen on the muses above. It mixes well with other colors and dresses up a bit easier.
- Cut: Hip length or cropped jackets are most flattering on all body types. If you are really petite a cropped jacket will lengthen your torso and give the illusion of more height. If you are leggy a jacket that just skims the hip bones will balance out your top half.
I don't have style rules...if anything the only rule I have is to not obey fashion rules and be your own fabulous fashionable self. But with a denim jacket I must say this one rule and I must insist as your stylist that you obey....because if not...don't you DARE say you take advice from me!!
Denim Jacket Rule: NEVER under any circumstance pair your denim jacket with other denim pieces!!! Thankfully it went out in the 80's...and let's all do our part to keep it there!
Simple Styling: Pair a denim jacket with a frilly skirt & tank, your little black dress, leggings & a tunic, a maxi dress, or unexpectedly pair it with your suiting trousers & blouse sans jacket of course!
Think: vintage boy meets modern girl!
