A Blast From The Past - Denim Jackets

In my opinion the denim jacket has always been relevant. And, this fall the fashion world is saying so too. So, it's time to dust off your jean jacket because this denim staple is making a bid to replace the leather bomber this fall.

Celebrities like Cameron Diaz and trendsetters like Pippa Middleton have already been spotted layering snug, faded denim jackets over feminine looks for an edgy update. So, how do you pull off this look without looking like you've just stepped out of time machine from the 1980s? Here are a few tips....

First, be sure it has a shape, meaning it's defined at the waist. Snug fitting around the waist is always most flattering.

Second, never wear it with jeans. Denim on denim is a bit 80s. Instead layer it over a dress, skirt or shorts of any other material.

Third, a cropped version is usually chic. And, if you really want to edge it out, wear one with studs or embellishments - just make sure the embellishment don't over do it.

Lastly, try rolling the sleeves to 3/4 length for a cool, chic look.

So take a blast from the past and wear a denim jacket to usher in the fall.
