How to Wear a Denim Jacket

Casual

It’s the style you’ll probably find yourself using most often, wearing a denim jacket casually is one of the easiest ways to look good. Picking a neutral colour and design is a good idea as it’s more likely to go with a range of outfits. Pair it with black joggers and a plain T-Shirt for a stylish but unfussy look.

Combining  it with a pair of chinos is another easy way to get the most out of your jacket. It’s hard to think that anyone wouldn’t be able to emulate this outfit, most of you will have a pair of chinos and a plain white tee handy – combine them with a denim jacket and you’ve created a relaxed image.

Smart Casual

It’s a phrase that can stress out anyone who has no clue what they should be wearing, smart casual should never be difficult when you have a denim jacket to hand. If you’re considering a smarter look you might want to think about going for a darker shade, as it can add a sense of sophistication to your outfit.

Despite its seemingly relaxed style, the denim jacket straddles the line between smart and casual perfectly. Wearing a shirt and tie underneath is a simple way to smarten up your outfit without having to put in too much effort.

Double Denim

This combination has got a bad reputation, mainly down to it’s checkered past with celebrities wearing it badly. Fortunately, it’s time to reclaim double denim, so don’t be afraid of this style and make the most of a look that’s ridiculously easy to put together. The outfit below shows how good double denim can appear when it’s done right. The selvedge jeans look smart with the jacket. Pair with some brown shoes and you’ve got an outfit that is easy and impressive.

What to Wear with a Denim Jacket for Men

Shirts

Depending on the situation, the type of shirt you should combine with a denim jacket can change. If you’re going for a formal look then a white dress shirt can work nicely. On the other hand, if you’re keeping it cool and casual in summer, wearing a plain T-shirt underneath is easy to pull off.
Trousers

Although double denim can work, it’s also a nice opportunity to bring some contrast and balance to your outfit. If you’re wearing a blue jacket, why not pair it with some black jeans? If you want a more casual look then joggers are a nice alternative. Chinos work for a more formal style as well.

Footwear

Their versatility is what makes denim jackets such a great piece of men’s fashion. Depending on the style of outfit you’re going for, you can combine it with any number of shoe styles. For a classic casual look, the iconic Converse Chuck Taylor high top is a perfect companion. Try some desert boots or leather shoes for a more formal ensemble.

Accessories

Wearing a hat might not be for everyone, but accessories like these are one of the best ways to make your outfit more impressive. It shows you’ve put some thought into what you’re wearing and you care about how you look, which is always a good thing.

How To Wear Sneakers Fashionably - Tips For Men & Women

Every morning when you wake up and get ready for the day, that looming decision of what to wear hits you. What you decide on can make the difference in how you feel when you finally step out for the day. However, there are some sneakers that can work with anything from sweats, to denim, to leather -

 Your sneakers are meant for more than just the gym. Though they got their start as flimsy “plimsolls” meant for working-class holidaymakers and purpose-built footwear designed for athletes, sneakers have become a staple in a every man’s (and woman’s, for that matter) wardrobe. Now your sneakers can be a fashion statement as well as workout gear – maybe even both at the same time.

Basics Sneaker Rules

No matter what kind of sneakers you settle on, there are a few basic principles for how to wear sneakers you should abide by. Always:

    Buy sneakers that suit your current wardrobe: What good does it do to buy the latest style if it doesn’t suit your style? Don’t hop on the trend train just because it’s passing through. Choose shoes that complement what you already have, not shoes that require you to repurchase your entire wardrobe.
    Wear them to the right occasions (don’t go too casual): Sneakers are incredibly versatile, but they’re no substitute for dress shoes. You can get away with sneakers with any off-duty outfit – and perhaps even some casual, unstructured suits – but they’re not meant for every occasion. Err on the side of overdressed rather than underdressed.
    Keep them clean: It doesn’t matter how cool your sneakers are, the effect will be lost if they’re not spick-and-span. Proper sneaker maintenance includes washing the laces, eliminating odours, brushing the outsoles, and using shoe trees and sneaker shields.

Knowing Your Sneakers / Trainer Types

Sneakers come in many shapes and sizes these days. From the very basic to the brightest leather, from the minimal to the metal fastenings, there are few rules when it comes to your trainers. With so many options available, it can be hard knowing exactly what’s what and even harder to know what’s most likely to suit your wardrobe and taste.

    Basic Sneakers – These are your Converse, Vans, etc., types. Sometimes they come in leather, but they’re typically found in canvas and in basic colours. On the whole they’re generally affordable and easy to wear / clean.
    Refined Luxury Sneakers – They might bear a resemblance to the basic sneakers, but they’re more expensive and often made from suede or leather by brands like Tom Ford, Lanvin & Saint Laurent. These are not something you take to a music festival.
    Classic Sports Sneakers – Think Nike Air Max 90, Reebok Pump, Asics, Tiger and other forms of old school sport greatness. What was once ready for the track and field is now kept safely in a shoe collection at home.
    Current Sport Sneakers – Again, these are your Nike, Adidas and Puma brands, but with modern styling and shapes.
    High-fashion Sneakers – These are the work of brands like Givenchy, Christian Louboutin, Maison Martin Margiela, Diemme and even Giuseppe Zanotti. They’re loud and designed to be noticed.
    High Tech – This special group may not be universally recognised yet, but I hear by dub it “High Tech.”  This is the category for the likes of Rick Owens and other designers who are really pushing the limits of sneaker design.

What You Need To Know To Get The Best Look

The Basic ClassicsCons, Chucks, canvas kicks… whatever you call them, the basic sneaker is the most versatile casual sneaker you can buy. They work well with denim, chinos and shorts of pretty much any colour and shade. Where I find guys sometimes get a little unstuck with these types of sneakers is when they wear them to smart casual events or to work when a dress shoe is required. The basic sneaker DOES NOT work for every occasion and should be kept solely for casual situations. Your best bet on top is to run with print t-shirts, gingham shirts or even a blazer for the college professor look.

    Mix with relaxed, slim & skinny denim and chinos
    Keep for casual/street occasions only
    Maintain to ensure they stay clean and respectable
    Best suited to younger men

Refined Luxury Sneakers
My personal favourite is the luxury take on the basic sneaker. These beautiful specimens have allowed sneakers to jump from street casual to smart casual without looking like they belong on a teenage boy. They can be worn with tailored trousers, slim denim, chinos and in some cases even casual unstructured suiting. I tend to avoid wearing them with shorts, as these sneakers are quite often bulky in comparison to the basic canvas sneakers. Keep it refined on top to match the shoe. Basic t-shirts, smart shirts and polos are all great options. For a more distinct look, opt for a shirt with a slim or knit tie, a blazer and some slim denim.

    Dress up, not down
    Start with black, then purchase other colours
    Take extra care with suede and don’t wear it too often
    Try brighter pairs for summer / European holidays

Classic Sports Sneakers

Sneakerheads, unite! These babies started the sneaker revolution that we have today. Jordans, Pumps, 90s – these are your street-going, hip-hop kicks that are just popping with colour. The idea with classic sports sneakers is to find a couple that complement your style and purchase a few pairs in different colours. Slim- and tapered-fit denim, loose t-shirts (with or without prints) and casual outerwear are your essential staples when it comes to dressing these sneakers. Pair them with chino shorts for an easy win in summer. The key is to find the balance between hip-hop artist and everyday citizen. Some guys like to rock a snap back – that’s up to you. Personally, I like to colour match my sneakers with what I’m wearing on top, to give the look a sense of purpose and cohesiveness.

    Find a few styles you like and stick to them
    Colour match if you can
    Pin roll, or rock with khaki chinos when it’s warm
    Sell them on eBay if you don’t like them

 
High-Fashion Designer Sneakers

Expensive and not for the faint of heart, these top end sneakers are getting louder and more in-your-face every season. For an example of someone who wears them well consistently, look to Kanye West. A common approach to wearing these sneakers matches them with slim denim that’s often gathered at the bottom and t-shirts with open plaid shirts. There’s also the parisian style, which includes long and drapey blazers and singlets that add even more edge to the look. Black denim is a must-own item as well as longer, looser fit t-shirts.

    Stick with blacks, whites and mute colours
    Let the sneakers to the talking
    Denim is your best friend

Cool Ways To Wear The Turtleneck Trend This Season

Cool Ways To Wear The Turtleneck Trend This Season

The Ultimate Guide to the Turtleneck

I love a good turtleneck, It's a perfect autumn and winter staple that is great for cold days wearing and I have seen turtlenecks sweeping across the streets and they come in a variety of different colours, shapes and sizes. The great thing about turtlenecks is that are not just a stylish garment but also a functional one, as the high neck will keep you warm and protect you against the wind chill.

The turtleneck design lends itself well to layering so you can pair it with a leather jacket for a more edgy look, wear it under a plaid coat, a structured blazer or even a cute sleeveless dress. And pair it with a pencil skirts, or fit-and-flare skirts, a pair of mom jeans or wide legged trousers or wear them as a pop of colour underneath an outfit and accessorise them with a great necklace.

There are so many ways to rock this trend and make it your own and the turtleneck is such a versatile piece, which will ensure that you can mix and match it with almost all the pieces that you already have in your wardrobe.

A big wool turtleneck definitely has a different vibe than the more sleek versions.  In my mind, thick wool turtlenecks have more of a cozy casual winter vibe, whereas tighter fitting cotton styles are more formal and sleek. Both are good.
