The Denim Jacket: Hello Old Friend.


img-thing

It seems like with fashion, as with everything else, the more things change, the more they stay the same. With that being said, the Men’s Denim’s Jacket is back. Oh yes ladies and gents.  I know, I know. I am forever telling people about the danger of following “trends” (Ed Hardy t-shirt anyone?), but this is one that will surely having staying power. Denim is back in a major way. It wouldn’t be right if I didn’t give props where they are due: shout out to Kanye West for literally being years ahead of everyone else with the denim movement. The culture of designer jeans has gone above the waist-line; denim shirts and jackets are what’s hot for 2010…and most likely beyond.

However you have to be careful when wearing a denim jacket. You don’t want to get a jacket that’s a tacky clash with your jeans and you end up looking like this guy. You also don’t want a jacket that is the exact same as your jeans, ergo the “denim outfit”.  Some may differ, but I think the idea of wearing the “denim-outfit” came and went about 10-12 years ago. Frankly, we don’t need it to come back. Ever. Real rap. Your best bet is to mix your jacket with a pair of denim that clash, in a good way, kind of like my man Zac Efron does here and so what if it isn’t the guy’s most masculine pic. You all get my point, lol.

Nonetheless, I digress. Denim shirts and especially jackets are back in a big way for guys. Everybody hop aboard the Denim Love Train. I’ll see you aboard. Veritas.
