Different styles of denim jackets

Available in many styles denim jackets come with sleeves, without sleeves, a band collar, less or more pockets, buttons or zippers, a traditional collar or a jacket that is possibly frayed overall for a worn look. Colours also vary, the classic colours being blues of course. Aside from that the colour range is endless. From white to red and every other colour. The classic blues are considered the most stylish still.

Things to consider when buying one

The colour is the most important thing to get right. If you are going to own one the colour should be versatile and should go with almost anything. The broken in faded blue works best for this. Around the shoulders the fit should be snug, the length should be just at your hips. Anything longer than your hips is not right for you.

The lowest and topmost buttons don't get closed, that is a style rule of wearing a denim jacket. Rolling up the sleeves a bit also adds character to your wear. Available at many different prices depending on the brand.
