Of course, not all denim jackets are created equally. You don’t want to break out your acide washed denim jacket from 1987 with shoulder flanges and some hair-band patch on the back. As a more sophisticated lady, a shaped denim jacket that ends a few inches below pelvic bones, in a classic wash will probably get you a lot more mileage. A denim jacket doesn’t need to be expensive either. This denim jacket, that I am using to put five denim jacket outfits together, is from Old Navy and sells for $35.
Okay, here are some denim jacket outfits for a little inspiration. For shopping information on all pieces used for the looks click the images. And, be sure to check out other posts in this series. You’ll notice that I use pieces from previous weeks to show you how easy can be to build a wardrobe using what you already own.

For a fun, casual, weekend look, I like a denim jacket with a summer dress. Here I particularly love how the denim works with the soft pink. It adds some edge.

A denim jacket is great with a maxi dress because the jacket offers waist shape and the perfect proportion when worn with a long dress. Denim being so versatile, it should work with any maxi dress color you wear. Finish the outfit off with a metallic accessories, handbag and shoes to be all set with an easy summer look.

Khakis and denim go together perfectly. Even with a longer tunic, a shorter, shaped denim jacket still works. This look remains casual, even with the accessories and metallic accents.

A denim jacket can add a more casual element to the dressier items that already exist in your wardrobe. If you’re looking to get the maximum out of what you already own, a denim jacket can be a great piece to bridge the gap.

Again, to casualize (is casualize a word?) a dressier look, throw it together with a denim jacket and you can make more elevated pieces more casual. In this case, a maxi skirt is ready for a stylish weekend outing with the addition of a denim jacket, tank top and easy gold sandals.
