Denim Jacket (1 Item – 3 Looks)

The denim jacket made its original debut as a practical worker’s coat around the turn of the century by Levi Strauss and Co. However, the first edition was orignally labled the “Levi Blouse” and functioned more as a heavy shirt than a jacket. In 1938, Levi’s renamed the “blouse” to “jacket.” During the 1950’s, the denim jacket saw a shift from popular workwear to everyday attire. Since then, actors like James Dean and Robert Redford helped to popularize the denim jacket even more through the years. Over a hundred years later, the denim jacket remains a wardrobe staple versatile enough to pair with looks from casual to dressy and everything in between.

You’ll find a denim jacket will help pull together many different styles. Take a look at how the iconic denim jacket can help you get three solid looks from this one simple item.

Denim on the Go

A denim jacket is versatile enough to match up with so many styles. Let’s say you put together a solid getup with Old Navy Slim Ultimate Khakis, a Uniqlo Oxford Slim Fit Shirt, a Cashmere Crew Neck Sweater, a JT Vintage Leather Belt, Sperry Top-Siders, and a pair of Ray Ban Tortoise New Wayfarer. Your Denizen Trucker Denim Jacket will still be the perfect jacket to grab while running out the door.
