Denim for [Fall] Days

There has been a lot of discussion about fall outerwear this season on the Fashion Fabrics Club blog, and the trend continues this week with a focus on denim. Being a highly versatile and classically stylish piece, the denim jacket has proved itself as an all-time favorite fall coat among both men and women, so this week features a variety of denim jackets styles that are perfect for fall weather.

Whoever said you can’t wear white after Labor Day didn’t understand the chic look of a crisp white denim jacket on a cool fall day. For ladies, a medium-weight white denim jacket can extend a summer dress into fall wear with a scarf and/or boots. Men can dress up their luxe sweatpants or create an eye-catching contrast by pairing their white denim jacket with a pair of classy, dark wash jeans.

For casual fall outings that still require a fashionable, albeit relaxed look, a classic blue jean jacket fits the bill. Whether in a stiff, structured dark navy blue denim or a soft, relaxed lighter wash denim, the blue jean jacket has the perfect mix of classic coolness and modern chicness that gives it a breadth of versatility that is only paralleled by its blue jean pants counterpart.

Gray denim jackets have become particularly popular as of late, and it’s no wonder why. The neutral gray shade adds a hint of modernity to the classic piece, makes it extremely easy to pair with nearly any other color, and gives it a dressier look than the conventional blue jean jacket without compromising comfort – a win all around.

For a more casual look with more arm mobility and added warmth for cooler fall days, you can opt for a medium weight knit-sleeved, hooded denim jacket. This style gives the appearance of a denim vest over a sweatshirt hoodie, however the jacket is actually much less cumbersome, void of the added padding in the midsection – a perfect pick for fall.

If you want your denim jacket to be able to accompany you into the beginnings of the winter season, a classic black denim jacket with a faux shearling lining is the perfect style for you. You could either go with a matching black or contrasting white lining, either way you will be warm and cozy and classically chic.
