Hey guys,
Today I wanted to talk about literally one of my favorite fashion trends ever. I absolutely love denim jackets- they come in so many different sizes, washes, and styles with cute embleshments. They have been deemed my favorite style of jacket of all time. They have also been a huge trend for spring and summer for the past couple of years and it doesn't look like its going anywhere. So for this tip Tuesday, I wanted to go in depth about how I like to style them and give you a few tips and tricks on how to style your denim jackets -- whether not you have 1 or 10!

So for this tip Tuesday, I wanted to go in depth about how I like to style them and give you a few tips and tricks on how to style your denim jackets -- whether not you have 1 or 10!
1. Dress
I think denim jackets were made to go with dresses. I really like taking a dressy dress and pairing it with a blue denim jacket and just making it more casual and Chicago spring appropriate (which is basically just a sunny winter)
2. Lace
I feel like lace and denim jackets are like a subtle version of lace and leather. The denim gives such a nice contrast to lace, especially white, and just makes the lace pattern pop. I love have a loose flow-y lace top with my denim jacket, but their are also lace dresses and shorts that would pair perfectly with any denim jacket.
3. Colored bottoms
9 times out of 10, if I am wearing a denim jacket then I am matching it with colored skinnies. I just think a bold bright, or even a pastel, bottom with any denim jacket really sets the tone for a fun outfit. And to be honest fun and denim are best buds.
4. Bold Prints
Another 9 times out of 10. I am wearing some type of bold busy print with my denim jacket. I think the denim in the outfit really breaks up the print while still keeping the fun and elegance of a print. I tend to match a colorful skinnie with a printed top and top it all of with a classic denim jacket, but you can also do a print with denim on top and bottom or a printed bottom with a solid top. If your bold print on top and bottom with your denim jacket can look super cute too. At the end of the day do what makes you happy and wear what you feel good in.
