Denim jackets are very useful in my wardrobe. In fact, other than these, I only have 4 other jackets that I kept since I retired (other than fleece or gear.) As you can see, I generally roll up the sleeves. Though not all true blue denim, mine include:
1. Gray corduroy from Gap. Love wearing this in fall-early spring.
2. Heavier, slightly more boxy, darkish denim, outdoor layer-able for cooler weather. It has a zipper and snaps. I like to wear it with long sleeve t under either a classic wool cardigan or pullover, with a cozy scarf and gloves - warm enough for errands on chilly fall days. One reason I like this is because of opportunity for mixing great unusual color combos and textures for a unique outfit.
3. Dark wash “dressy” denim, collarless, almost Chanel-inspired. Dresses up or down upon demand.
4. Slightly cropped, stretchy medium washed blue one which feels amazing, adding a layer for chilly evenings but never too hot, over almost any summer dress or outfit including shorts, or darker or white denim jeans. Miraculously seems to be the right proportion for lots of combos.
5. Red with 3/4 sleeves, often worn over black knit or one of various print summer dresses.
6/7. Cream and black ticking stripe linen in denim jacket cut. So fun.
8. Last but not least, a dark blush one which could be called a denim jacket-utility jacket hybrid since it’s a bit longer than a true denim jacket. This one also blends in with many other items in my wardrobe and serves to dress outfits up or down when needed.
