Men's jackets for jeans: varieties, choice, combination rules

Not so long ago, a jacket for jeans was considered complete bad taste and spoke of the lack of style in its owner. Today, a successful combination of a jacket with denim pants is a popular style solution. This material will consider the features of wearing men's jackets for jeans: the varieties of such jackets, the subtleties of their choice, as well as the rules for combining these wardrobe items.

The success of a bow, in which the emphasis is on the compatibility of a jacket and jeans, primarily depends on a well-chosen style of clothing. Fashion designers today highlight about 6 individual styles of men's jackets. Each of them is suitable for a specific occasion, life situation or season.

Models of the classic type are perfectly combined with almost all types of trousers. They effectively emphasize the chosen style and look appropriate at any special events. Besides, classic jackets do not perform any additional functions - they are only intended to emphasize the figure of their owner, but do not distinguish him from the crowd... Most often, this style is used in business meetings or at serious events and meetings.

If we talk about the compatibility of the classic type and jeans, then everything is not so simple.

Requirements for the classic cut:

• monochrome black or dark blue (ruled models are acceptable);
• at least one of the buttons is buttoned;
• slit-type pockets are required;
• The color of the buttons should not contrast with the color of the jacket.

Requirements for jeans in a bow with a classic jacket

• straight cut;
• one-color dark shade, combined in color and print with a jacket;
• no visible pockets.

The main function of sports-type models is to complement and decorate the image of their owner. Such models are not intended to emphasize the figure or highlight any advantages, they are distinguished by a simplified texture and free tailoring, which does not limit the owner's freedom of action. The main condition when choosing such a jacket is precisely selected sizes.

The main advantage of sports jackets is their versatility. They are able to look equally good with any outfit, be it a T-shirt, shirt or even a sweater. The combination of a sports jacket and jeans in a bow is perhaps the most common option today. These models look great with any type of jeans and trousers.

The signs of a jacket with a sporty cut are as follows:

• these are more often monochromatic models, but without restrictions on prints, textures and embroidery;
• frequent element - patch pockets or leather / suede elbow pads;
• cut - 2 slots, which allows you to easily keep your hands in your pockets;
• the last and most important detail is the buttons, made in an interesting color and design.

Club-type jackets, unlike the varieties described above, perform only two, but extremely capacious functions: decorating the image of their owner and masking figure flaws.

Signs of a club jacket:

• an obligatory element is a V-shaped neckline that opens up a T-shirt or shirt as much as possible;
• the jacket is buttoned with only one button or completely unbuttoned;
• no boundaries for color selection;
• the presence of bright buttons, embroidery and other decor.

The main function of the fitted jacket models is to emphasize the slimness and other benefits of the physique. They are especially relevant for men who have a healthy and athletic physique. Fitted jackets are best paired with tapered or tight-fitting jeans.

The success of the fitted style 50% depends on how competently the shirt or jumper was matched to the bow. This garment should fit “like a second skin” and therefore be of the ideal size.

Knitted jackets today are considered not only incredibly fashionable, but also versatile. Their obvious plus is that while maintaining harmony in colors and style, they can successfully look with absolutely any clothes (as well as with jeans).

Such jackets do not have any strict signs: the texture is possible from both thickened and light and softened fabrics, button or zip fasteners, double-breasted or single-breasted types of fastening.

Models with this style are extremely common today, but they are often referred to as sports jackets. All thanks to the similar carelessness in the cut and complete freedom of movement, but there are some differences here:

• classic models of this type are usually made in dark blue;
• buttons are necessarily light: silver or gold;
• pockets must be of the slit type, with flaps;
• only one slot.

Like sports jackets, blazers look great with a certain type of jeans and may well form not only a comfortable, but also incredibly fashionable bow.

In tailoring suits for jeans, a variety of materials can be used depending on the style of the jacket. Classic style jackets for jeans are usually made of high quality wool. If a blazer is involved in creating the same classic look, then polyester models are the best here.

Competent choice of colors is just as important when creating an image as the selection of a style. Below are recommendations on the selection of colors for jackets of different shades.

• With varieties of jackets in black and dark shades, it will be most effective to harmonize shirt and light gray or cream jeans... The image will also be complemented by light and lightweight shoes like moccasins or shoes.

• If you bought an ash-colored jacket, then you don't have to worry about choosing colors. Both dark and standard blue or even light blue trousers go well with it. You also don't need to be shy about shades of shoes, but avoid flashy and defiant colors that will distract attention from the whole bow.

• Dark blue is the most common color for a jacket with jeans. This option will show itself well both with standard blue jeans models, and with fitted options in a light blue shade. Especially harmoniously, such a bow will be in harmony with chestnut shades of shoes.

• If the jacket is brown, then choosing jeans for it will be a daunting task. Only dark blue or swamp jeans will look good here. Shoes should match the color of the jacket.

• Warm and pastel jackets - the latest squeak of fashion today, dark models of jeans and shoes will look most spectacular with them.

If you choose a color relative to the season, then everything is simple - for the summer season, lightweight models of jackets are best suited, but for cloudy and cold seasons, you should choose something darker.

Today, blazers with creative prints are considered incredibly fashionable style solutions. Usually, a custom print is present on blazers or sports jackets.

The following options for a successful print are known:

• in a cage or ruler;
• with geometric objects or ornaments;
• small multi-colored stains;
• abstract minimalistic images or shapes.

When choosing a style solution when combining a jacket or jeans, you should first ask yourself 3 questions:

• "Where am I going to go in this?"
• "What impression do I want to make on others?"
• "What style will I feel most comfortable in?"

Based on the answers to these questions, you should decide on the choice of a separate style solution, some of which will be described below.

• Business style... The most common and simplest style solution. Suitable for business meetings, formal celebrations or interviews. Best suited here is a classic jacket or blazer, light shirt, black straight-cut jeans, as well as dark or black shoes.

• Everyday. This bow sets no boundaries in jeans and shirt colors. The easiest option: a navy blue jacket, a black or gray shirt and a jumper, slip-ons or brogues are best for shoes.

• Non-standard and bright style. Perfect for a noisy party with friends or going to the club. Here you should not be afraid to show your imagination and even allow some carelessness in the combination of colors. The main thing in such an image is to avoid overloading, due to which individual details will cease to be perceived.

• Style "according to the weather". This bow will be especially relevant on a cloudy or rainy day. A dark or beige blazer with a dark plain jumper and a light shirt will fit best here.

• Smart casual - one of the most common among modern youth. Consists of a plaid top, a dark solid color T-shirt and light blue jeans with decorative fading.

Among the European manufacturers of the best men's suits and jackets are brands such as Digel (Germany is the best quality), Brioni (Italy are the best custom models), Canali (Italy - high level of comfort), Hugo boss (Germany is the best value for money) and Albione (Poland - the best design solutions).

If we talk about Russian manufacturers, then there are also "fashion gurus" here: Henderson (the best materials of manufacture), Truvor (the latest development technologies), "Sir" (the widest range), "Bolshevichka" (durability and wear resistance) and Van cliff (best price).

The choice of any clothing, be it a casual bow or a business work suit, should be taken very carefully. There are a number of rules to follow here.

• The jacket, regardless of what it was bought for and how it is worn, must be selected strictly according to your size, taking into account the clothes that you will wear with it. Watch for wrinkles in the lower back, shoulders or sleeves and avoid wrinkles and creases.
• Weigh your physique soberly. For men with a slender physique, double-breasted models are more suitable, for overweight men - single-breasted options that will outwardly increase the length of the torso.
• A custom color will help draw attention to the style of your jacket and bring a youthful touch to the bow. Variety of clothes with a calmer color scheme are suitable for serious and adult men.
• The shoulder seams should follow its line and also connect to the sleeve seam at the highest point of contact between the shoulder and arm.

The main factors of wearing a jacket with jeans correctly will be briefly described below.

• The main factor is the harmony of color solutions. Jeans should either complement the color tone of the outerwear or create a soft contrast to refresh the overall look.
• Secondary factor - well-chosen style. Each jacket style will only work well with a specific type of jeans and shirt.
• Additional factor - correctly selected material of manufacture. The quality and type of material of the jacket determines how appropriate it will look with other clothes, as well as the moment in which weather conditions it is advisable to use it.
