4 Ways To Style A Denim Shirt Jacket
Slowly but surely dipping my toes into fall fashion. Before I fully jump in, I’ve been finding more value in sourcing pieces that I can be worn now and wear later. I’ve always been an advocate for wearing things more than one way but this year, I’m especially focused on transition pieces. Enter the denim shirt jacket, also known as a shacket! This is a lightweight oversized layer that can be worn now and later (with more layers) so I’ve decided to style it four ways. Feel free to swap out the shacket for a chambray button down, a few of my favorites are here, here and here! In case you are looking for more shirt jackets (shackets), check out this post and try on I recently did!
I am wearing this jacket in a size large but it appears to be mostly sold out to I linked a bunch more above for inspiration and more from the same retailer below and here! I hope this post serves as inspiration to wear now and later. Let’s dig in.
DENIM SHIRT JACKET (L) | TANK (XL) | JEANS (L) USE CARALYN10 | SANDALS | HOOPS | APPLE WATCH BAND | BRACELETS
OPTION 1: Keep it simple with contrasting denim (go darker or lighter) than your shirt. I added a neutral pop of color with the tank underneath. You can easily swap out the shoe for a closed toe mule to bring this further into the fall.
DENIM SHIRT JACKET (L) | DRESS (XL) | SNEAKERS | HOOPS | APPLE WATCH BAND | BRACELETS
OPTION 2: Throw it over a bodycon dress! I like having more figure hugging dresses in my wardrobe but find sometimes I need a more over sized layer to balance out the cling. Paired with a pair of sneakers and I’m good to go!
DENIM SHIRT JACKET (L) | TANK (XL) | BIKER SHORTS (XL) USE CARALYN10 | SNEAKERS | HOOPS | APPLE WATCH BAND | BRACELETS
OPTION 3: Biker shorts! These are my absolute favorite pair, they don’t dig into your legs or belly but still provide support and they have a side cell phone pocket. I always pair an oversized top with them to balance out the proportions.
DENIM SHIRT JACKET (L) | TANK (XL) | SIMILAR JEANS (32) SAME BRAND + STYLE | SANDALS | HOOPS | APPLE WATCH BAND | BRACELETS
OPTION 4: Pair with a cropped, flare denim. My exact pair is old, linked similar. You could also add a striped tee or tank underneath this look! You can also bring this outfit into the fall by easily switching out the shoes for a closed toe mule.
What was your favorite look? Or other ways you’d style it? I’d love to hear below. I hope this serves as inspiration, thanks for reading!
