CORRECTLY Match A Suit Jacket With Jeans (Most Men Get This Wrong!)
About this video
Centeno addresses the controversial practice of wearing suit jackets with jeans, arguing it can work when done correctly. He outlines five key rules for successfully combining these pieces, then demonstrates three complete outfit examples that bridge formal and casual styling.
Key takeaways
- Centeno advises not separating your only suit to avoid color fading mismatches, but says it’s acceptable if you have multiple suits to rotate from
- Centeno recommends choosing dark indigo or other formal-looking jeans in slim or straight fit, avoiding distressed styles and cuffs
- Centeno argues the supporting pieces matter greatly—use casual textured button-downs rather than sleek dress shirts, skip formal silk ties, add a belt, and incorporate layering pieces like sweaters or turtlenecks to bridge the formality gap
