Thinking about wearing jeans with a suit jacket? The combination of otherwise casual denim jeans with a formal or semi-formal suit jacket may sound a little backwards. After all, isn’t it bad to mix formal and casual garments together? In most cases, the answer is yes, but jeans CAN<\/span> be worn with a suit jacket. All it takes is the right approach and a keen eye for fashion.<\/p>\n

Don’t Match Your Colors<\/h3>\n

When wearing jeans with a suit jacket, do not choose matching colors! If your jeans are the exact same color as your suit jacket, the two garments will blend together, and not in a good way. With that said, you can still choose a color that’s similar to the other garment, so long as it stands out. If your jeans are a dark indigo blue, for instance, try wearing a light blue jacket. The light and dark blue colors will stand out from one another, distinguishing your outfit by defining the various garments.<\/p>\n

Of course, another idea is to wear jeans or a suit jacket that contrasts with the other garment’s color. Going back to the example mentioned above, a pair of indigo-colored jeans would contrast well with a black suit jacket. The two contrasting colors will create a bold, appealing look that enhances your outfit.<\/p>\n

Watch The Wrinkles!<\/h3>\n

Don’t make the mistake of wearing a wrinkled suit jacket with jeans. Because jeans are viewed as a casual garment, many people assume it’s OK to wear them with a wrinkled jacket. This couldn’t be further from the truth, however. A wrinkled jacket will take away from the aesthetics of your outfit, creating a messy, unflattering appearance. So if you’re planning on wearing jeans with a suit jacket, take a few minutes to go over the jacket with an iron.<\/p>\n

Which Jeans Should I Wear?<\/h3>\n

Now for the million-dollar question: which type of jeans should I wear with a suit jacket? It really depends on the occasion, your personal style, and the jacket. However, you want to stick with “premium” jeans that have a natural formal look to them. This means avoiding distressed denim, opting for solid-color jeans instead.<\/p>\n

Jeans can be worn with a suit jacket, but only if it’s done right. Be conscious of the color of your denim, the cut, the fit, and how it relates to your suit jacket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
