How to Style Denim Jackets

Birds, crocuses and—of course—jean jackets: all signs that spring is finally here. If you accidentally tossed, donated, or left your jean jacket in a field last year, rent one from Nuuly. We talked to our Associate Stylist and resident cool girl, Julia, on how to style denim jackets this season.

How to Wear Denim on Denim

The key to perfecting double denim is to stick with similar denim shades, says Julia. Try not to pair a light wash jacket with your darkest jeans . For a modern look, treat the jacket like a shirt and button it to the top.

What to Wear with a Jean Jacket

• With a patterned or embroidered jean jacket, a utility pant—like a cargo—makes for an even edgier outfit
• Layer a satin slip dress under the jacket for a “high-low” style technique
• Boots or sneakers can be paired on colder days
• Transition to a sandal or kitten heel when summer comes

Experiment with Your Denim Jacket

Play around with size, shape + color to see what works for you. Luckily, renting from Nuuly means you don’t have to commit to just one jean jacket.
