How to Wear A Men's Suit Jacket With Jeans - How To Pull Off Denim & Suit Jackets - Style Tips

About this video

Centeno explains how to successfully wear a suit jacket with jeans, outlining three key considerations: the jacket type and fabric, the style of jeans, and the occasion. He argues that while traditionalists discourage this combination, it can be a practical way to repurpose older suit jackets, provided certain guidelines are followed to avoid looking like you’re wearing an incomplete suit.

Key takeaways

• Centeno recommends avoiding this look if you only own one suit, as wearing the jacket and trousers separately can cause color fading and mismatching when they’re eventually worn together
• Centeno argues that jacket fabric is critical—tweeds, herringbones, and patterned fabrics work best because they look like intentional sports jackets, while solid navy can be transformed by replacing buttons with mother-of-pearl alternatives
• Centeno advises pairing suit jackets with dark, well-fitted, slim jeans rather than faded or loosely-fitted styles, and only attempting this look at casual or business-casual events, never at formal occasions requiring an actual suit
