How to Style a Denim Shirt - Men's Outfit Ideas for Jean Shirts

About this video

The Gazette team explores the evolution of denim shirts from workwear to modern fashion staples, providing guidance on selecting versatile denim shirts and demonstrating four practical styling approaches. They cover key design features to prioritize, common styling mistakes to avoid, and proper fit considerations to ensure denim shirts complement a man’s wardrobe at a smart-casual level.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends choosing classic, unadorned denim shirts in mid to light blue with simple buttons, barrel cuffs, and minimal embellishments for maximum versatility and timelessness
• The Gazette team suggests four effective ways to wear denim shirts: layered under a tweed sport coat, under a linen sport coat with chinos, underneath a sweater or cardigan, or worn solo with chinos
• The Gazette team advises avoiding common mistakes including wearing full denim outfits (Canadian tuxedos), heavily embellished or Western-detailed shirts, incorrect fitting, and pairing denim shirts with formal suits
• The Gazette team emphasizes proper fit is critical—shoulders should fit well, shirt length should cover back pockets, and there should be adequate room through the chest and arms to accommodate denim’s thicker material
