today I'm sharing six ways to style a
jean jacket one of my subscribers last
season asked me to make a video to help
her figure out how to style a denim
jacket so I'm gonna share with you six
ways that I think I can stall a jean
jacket and hopefully it will inspire you
to come up with your own looks that
match your personality and the style of
your denim jacket this denim jacket is
from high school it used to sit at my
waist now it sits a little bit above my
waist and the seams are straight down it
has a very straight look to it there are
all kinds of shapes and styles of jean
jackets so you find the one that you
feel most comfortable in and the shade
the color shade that you like and then
pop into this video the number one way
to style a jean jacket is with primary
colors hands down these primary color
t-shirts are everywhere in every kind of
fabric consistency you can find them in
v-neck or in crewnecks you can wear them
a little dressier with a strand of
pearls everybody knows they're fake
anyway but it just dresses up and looks
really fun with just a solid primary
color
I even like using the color black for a
primary color I can pair it with pearls
I love pairing black with the turquoise
jewelry that's out there now I got this
kind from purple peridot I think love
having a black t-shirt under that denim
and I would love it even more with the
white jeans but I have paired it today
with khaki shorts because I'm a
stay-at-home mom and that's what I was
wearing today and from our good ol James
Dean satis named a good white t-shirt
under a denim jacket especially this
color denim jacket looks really good I
love a bright yellow color under this
kind of denim jacket I think it is a
great fall color that can still be cool
you can take off the jean jacket and
have a short sleeve shirt another way to
style a denim jacket is with a
monochromatic look and you can go with
white jeans a white top and I like to
use like a can
color shoe in the fall or winter I would
pair it with some cognac colored boots
this jean jacket has like a goldish
coppery thread in it and then it also
has the copper buttons that I think lend
itself well to the cognac color it's
very much a straight high school girl
look and they have several other types
around town old Navy has a lot I saw a
lot of jean jackets in their store when
I was there just two weeks ago and there
are some now that are getting really
long and if you're tall like me I think
that would help flatter your body
somewhat is if the jean jacket comes all
the way past your bottom I don't know
what do you think about that you can
also use the monochromatic black color
this is my go to travel outfit because I
can wear leggings and a top that covers
my fine china disc is a light layer that
I can look more playful with and not
have to really use a thick cardigan and
I can wear regular black tennis shoes or
my travel to new shoes that I have on
here
by the way my name is Laurie and I make
a ton of travel videos but I also enjoy
fashion and I enjoy makeup and then I
also make videos about party ideas
please leave me a comment below and
introduce yourself and stick around to
the end because I'm going to show you
how to how I roll the sleeves of my
denim jacket another way to style your
denim jacket another way to stop a jean
jacket is with florals now I have a
dress that I've had forever too and the
flowers are really close together
they're tiny flowers I think that looks
best on my body shape but my friend
Chrissy on instagram uses these really
large flowers or these dresses with
large floral shapes on them which i
think are so looks so good with a jean
jacket and I love her shade of blue in
her denim jacket too you picked the kind
of jacket that fits best on you or that
goes with most of the clothes that are
already in your closet I really like
this pink shell that I have it's a
sleeveless shell that I have can wear in
between summer and fall when we
don't have fall until December in
Houston but I love the blue in these
flowers I didn't notice it until I was
looking back through the pictures but
look at how vibrant the blue in this
bright pink top looks with this denim
jacket now that I've put the denim
jacket on and I love how the flowers are
more separated in this shell versus my
dress that is constant florals or total
floral fabric one of my favorite ways to
style a denim jacket is by using lace
now I have a white dress that is has a
lace overlay it they don't have anymore
it's sold out I bought it at the
beginning of summer at loft but I also
have a tank top that has this lace
overlay on it I love the ruggedness of a
jean jacket with lace I think it pairs
texturally correctly together I'm
killing two birds in one stone with this
top that I have in my closet from Kohl's
it's a bright primary color with the
lace overlay and I think that looks
really good under a denim jacket so you
can use a t-shirt you can use a dress
anything that has lace on top of it
another way to sell a denim jacket is
with graphic tees now graphic tees don't
have to be primary colors most of them
are primary colors with the wording on
the front
I think the denim jacket just looks so
collegiate or football --is-- with a
graphic tee underneath and a lot of
graphic tees that I own are gray so I
like the pairing of gray with a denim
rugged jacket this t-shirt is the
hashtag ship left that I got from
Magnolia in Waco Texas our girls trip to
that those are my very first youtube
video ever anyway love a graphic tee
under a denim jacket another great way
to style a jean jacket is with stripes
you have the Navy and white stripes
green and cream stripes you have the
black and the cream black and white
stripes you have the solid black with
skinny white stripes you have the solid
white with skinny black stripes so many
variations you can style stripes of all
shade
in colors and thicknesses and thin
this's all of the stripes go with a good
denim jacket it is also a way to pull in
some colored denim now it's tricky
styling a denim jacket with the bottoms
that you're gonna wear because most of
the time I wear jeans well most the time
I wear shorts because that's Houston
weather but a lot of times if I'm gonna
go out anywhere I'm gonna have on a good
pair of jeans and I don't like to mix my
denims that's just me I especially liked
to wear stripes with white jeans and
with white jeans I'll make sure that the
back shirttail does cover up my painting
line because white jeans are just they
just seem to be see-through in the back
somehow all of them do and you have to
be really careful in the front not
showing your fine china to everybody who
you are walking towards it's just
something we women have to deal with
unfortunately but that's my take on
wearing white jeans but the white jeans
go great with stripes but you can use
like a khaki a khaki color or you can
use like khaki pants 100% cotton I have
several of those from Loft you can have
capris you can have the white denim like
I talked about earlier the colored denim
another reason I like pairing stripes
with a denim jacket is you can throw on
a good strand of pearls big old chunky
rhinestone necklaces and call it an
outfit it just elevates the outfit with
still making it be casual if that makes
sense
speaking of jewelry I do really like
hearing the good turquoise jewelry
that's out there now with the solid tees
and with the stripes and with the white
solid tees I've already said that now
I'm going to show you how to roll up the
sleeves of your denim jacket there are
three different ways that I like to
style my jean jacket sleeves I either
keep them buttoned most of the time I
keep them both unbuttoned I just like
the fun-ness of it I don't know what it
is I like that look of the unbuttoned
Jean sleeves another way you can do it
is to roll them up and this is how you
roll them up you start with the cuff and
you want to pull just the cuff all the
way up it's a little tricky you have
to pull it down and then start it over
just kind of pull it down from the
inside and I make it go to my elbow okay
then I fold up the rest of it this is
how I would do like a plaid sleeve or a
denim shirt as well so you've got the
buttons unbuttoned and you're they're
sticking out in just a little bit and it
just hangs right and then you can pull
it down so it still allows your sleeve
to Bend thank you for sticking around to
the end see that thank you for popping
over and thank you for just spending
your time with me listening to my ideas
which may be totally different from your
style or personality but anyway I
appreciate you listening to my ideas and
watching my videos pop over again soon
