So one of my favorite transition pieces is the denim jacket. “Why,” you might ask? There are so many reasons why these jackets are ideal for this time of year. However, I will give you my top three, in no particular order.
For starters, a denim jacket is lightweight, so it’s perfect for when the weather is getting slightly chilly. Right now the sun’s still shining, and it’s relatively warm outside. However, in the mornings and evenings, there is a bit of chill in the air. I will often carry my denim jacket in my bag or wrap it around my waist for this reason. I will often add layers under the jacket such as a hoodie or a sweater when the weather gets colder. A denim jacket is also stylish and it goes with almost any outfit, so it’s the perfect go-to for this time of year.
Speaking of which, my next reason for loving denim jackets as a transition piece is the versatility. I find that you can style denim jackets with so many different outfits. I will pair my jackets with dresses, work attire, athleisure wear, beachwear, and even with a pair of jeans (Canadian tuxedo). It often is the very item of clothing that will pull your look together.
My final reason why the denim jacket is my favorite transition piece is that it comes in so many different styles and colors. Right now, the oversized denim jacket is trending. It fits larger than your traditional jacket and looks fabulous with dresses and shorts. Distressed jackets are also trendy right now, which is perfect for that casual “I’ve had this jacket forever” kind of look. Denim jackets also come in a variety of washes and colors. To name a few, I’ve seen dark indigo, light to medium, black, faded, gray, and other bright colors.
In my closet, I have about 3-4 different styles of denim jackets. The jacket I’m highlighting is this post is a recent purchase from H&M. It’s slightly oversized and fits perfect for a casual look. I have a dark denim for more dressier styles (see my “Red Hot” post). My favorite denim jacket is more of a faded wash, which is always on repeat in my outfits of the day (shown in my “Summer Dresses and Farmers Market” post). I’ve recently purchased Levi’s Sherpa Trucker jacket, which will be making an appearance on the blog soon.
Overall, the denim jacket is not going anywhere and is one of my favorite transition pieces. I highly recommend purchasing a denim jacket if you do not have one already. It’s one of my go-to clothing items that I wear consistently. What are your thoughts on denim jackets? Please leave a comment and let me know what’s your favorite style of denim jackets.
