LUXE TO LESS

A good mid-blue denim jacket is the great universal wardrobe must-have, no matter your age or style.

Just like its lower-half counterpart – blue jeans – a classic denim jacket adds just the right amount of effortless edge and casual cool to any off-duty outfit.

I especially love them over a floral dress or if you’re feeling particularly au courant, team one with jeans for a statement double denim look – and make sure to do like the fashion set and cuff the sleeves or slouch it off your shoulders.

Those at the higher end of the price spectrum come not only with designer kudos but also impeccable quality and attention to detail, but honestly, if it fits well, a cheaper model is going to work just as well.
