How to wear a men's denim jacket

The trucker is the standard men's denim jacket: waist length, button front, chest pockets. It layers over tees, hoodies and knits, and under an overcoat in winter. Collared versions in corduroy or suede look a little smarter, and longer overshirt styles work as a shirt or a light jacket. Darker washes look sharper over a shirt, and lighter washes suit weekends.

With jeans, the simplest rule is contrast: a mid-blue jacket with dark wash or black jeans. Matching washes can work for a deliberate double-denim look. Chinos and wool trousers also pair well with a dark trucker.

The shoulder seam should sit at the edge of your shoulder, the hem at the belt line, and the sleeves at the wrist bone. Size up if you plan to wear a hoodie underneath. For a lighter layer, see denim shirts.

Questions, answered

How should a men's denim jacket fit?

The shoulder seam should sit at the edge of your shoulder and the hem should end at the belt line. You should be able to cross your arms without strain across the back, and the sleeves should end at the wrist bone.

Can you wear a denim jacket with jeans men?

Yes. Choose washes at least two shades apart, such as a light jacket with dark jeans, or wear a blue jacket with black jeans. Matching washes exactly also works when done deliberately. Keep the rest of the outfit plain so the denim stands out.
