What color Denim Jacket should you get?

There are countless colors and styles of denim jackets that you should consider to wear during the different seasons of the year. With this guide you will surely want to have them all in your closet and combine it with your other favorite garments

For your first jacket: Go for an ultra-versatile medium-blue wash, sometimes called   Mid-wash, the medium blue isn’t too light for Fall, and isn’t too dark when the weather gets warm, making it the perfect year round shade. 

The indispensable in the wardrobe: A dark indigo denim jacket is an excellent option. Most of these styles will be in raw denim, a stiffer denim that will require you to break it in. What’s great about that is, as it ages, it’ll form to your body and create unique wear patterns. If you want to brighten up your look when the weather gets warmer, I love a good light wash bleached denim jacket, especially when you pair it with white dress and a fancy blazer. 

Monochromatic jackets: Like the light wash blue, these colorways are optional. You should only consider them once you’ve picked up the dark or mid-blue wash. White denim jackets are great for the spring-summer season to brighten up your look. Gray and black denim jackets are excellent if you’re looking for an edgier, monochromatic look you can try this option with a nice pair of white block heels and a beige crop top.
