Denim Jacket:
Jacket! It's the coolest piece of clothing you can own. These are essential rockstar clothes to have in your wardrobe.
They can transform the most basic outfit into an iconic style statement. A band tee and jeans? Throw on a killer jacket, and BAM! It suddenly oozes character.
Denim jackets are like the cherry on top. They’re comfortable, stylish, and can be worn throughout the year.
But first, let's see how to wear a denim jacket
The Classic Blue Unisex Fit
Nothing screams rock and roll like denim jackets, especially when your favourite artist is printed on them, for instance, these amazing David Dowie Denim jackets. These are so versatile and have a badass vibe in them.
These blue denim jackets are quintessential, always fit perfectly, and are timeless. It doesn't have unnecessary trendy details that go out of fashion months later, keeping its designs classic and enduring.
The Washed Black
Black-washed denim is a close second to classic blue on the denim. Just like these My Chemical Romance denim jackets. It offers a distinctive, edgy look that's insanely cool.
The arched front pockets are their signature detail, creating a sleek, angular appearance. These iconic denim jackets often feature your favourite rock band logos and artwork on the front and back, adding a badass Western workwear vibe.
This is another great option as you delve deeper into the denim jacket rabbit hole.
Styling Tips
Decades may come and go. Trends may fade and flare (pun intended!), but rock and roll style? It’s eternal. But this ain’t a one-size-fits-all. Just like any other fashion, rock fashion also needs little styling to make it your own.
Let’s check out some tips.
Jacket over a dress
Layer your denim jacket over a dress with your rock-and-roll look for more femininity. The formal or lace dress contrasts beautifully with the ruffed ness of the jacket, creating a balanced, edgy-chic look. Wear it with ankle boots or chunky platform heels to add height and complete the look.
Double Denim
The most common question when it comes to denim jacket is how to wear a denim jacket with jeans. Well, the answer is quite simple.
Double denim, when done right, is a bold fashion statement. To avoid the Canadian tuxedo mishap, mix different shades of denim. Pair a light-wash denim jacket with darker jeans, or vice versa. Add a graphic rock band tee and some distressed details to enhance the rock aesthetic. Accessorize with a studded belt and layered necklaces to pull the look together.
Classic rock band tee combo
Rock tee with denim jackets is a match made in heaven.
Nothing screams rock and roll like black jeans and a light blue denim jacket. It is a must-have for any fashion enthusiast. This timeless combination is perfect for any casual outing. Choose a tee featuring your favourite band, preferably with a vintage wash, and let it peek out from under your denim jacket. Finish the look with skinny jeans and a pair of beat-up Converse or combat boots for an authentic rockstar vibe.
Once you understand the grunge aesthetics, you can add more complexity to your look.
Grunge it up
Channel the ‘90s grunge era by pairing your denim jacket with a plaid flannel shirt and ripped jeans. This look is all about layering, so don’t be afraid to throw on a hoodie underneath your jacket for extra warmth and style. Complete the outfit with chunky boots or classic Dr. Martens to keep it grounded and grunge.
Accessorize to the Max
Mix with leather
Worn by bikers and rockstars, what can be more rock and roll than leather?
Mix denim with leather to combine the best of both worlds. Layer your denim jacket over a leather skirt or pants for a dynamic and edgy look. This combination exudes rockstar energy and adds a luxurious texture to your outfit. Finish off with heeled boots or leather loafers to maintain a cohesive look.
Belt it
If you tuck your T-shirt in your pants and don't wear a belt, trust us, you’re ruining your whole 60s fashion.
If you want a more silhouette look, try belting your denim at the waist. This can create a flattering shape, especially when oversized or boxy jackets are used. A leather belt with studs or a chain can add extra edge and define your waist, making your rock band jacket the centrepiece of your outfit.
Don’t follow the crowd
Rock style and fashion have never been about copying the crowd. Discover yourself and stand firm on your style, UNAPOLOGETICALLY!
It’s not just about wearing the rock band clothes. You’ve taken inspiration from someone else. What’s rebellious about that?
It’s about tapping into the core of who you are and expressing that to the fullest.
Wear your style with attitude. Step out from being normal. Don’t look for others' approval, EVER.
Use this as inspiration, pick and choose pieces that resonate best with you, and try new things out. Get weird with it. Express yourself!
