5 Rules How To Wear A Suit Jacket With Jeans | Pairing Denim And Suit Jackets Successfully

About this video

Centeno outlines five rules for successfully wearing a suit jacket with jeans, covering considerations like whether the jacket is part of your only suit, proper fit, timeless styling, appropriate fabric, and correctly fitted denim. He argues that following these guidelines can allow for this unconventional pairing without appearing unkempt or damaging a valuable suit.

Key takeaways

  • Centeno advises against breaking up your only suit to wear the jacket with jeans, recommending instead to purchase a dedicated blazer or sports jacket
  • Centeno emphasizes the jacket must fit properly in the shoulders and be taken in or passed on if it’s too small or several sizes too large
  • Centeno argues that solid colors like navy or light gray and textured fabrics like tweed work better than patterned suits like pinstripes, which read as orphaned suit jackets
  • Centeno recommends pairing the jacket with dark indigo, black, or colored selvedge denim that is properly tapered and hemmed, worn with dress shoes or boots
