How to restyle a denim jacket

Many of us have a denim jacket in our wardrobe. It is such a useful pop over anything item. It can be worn with jeans and a tee-shirt or slung over a summer dress. Personally, I like the long line versions as it covers my bum and I therefore find it more flattering. However if you are petite you might find the traditional shorter version suits you better. The denim jacket that I currently own was originally from &OtherStories. This is their version for this year and it is very similar. The one above I have featured is from Great Plains and it is similar in style. In today’s post I have illustrated several ways you can restyle a denim jacket by teaming it with a skirt or dress.

The photo above shows how I styled my denim jacket last year. My longline belted denim jacket was from &OtherStories (this year’s version similar).

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.

  • I’m loving how you styled you long line Jean jacket, Josephine! What are your suggestions for mixing denim with denim (jacket and pants)? I usually wear mine with white jeans or khaki pants because I’m never sure how to wear it with other denims.

    This year I added both pink and white denim jackets with pie crust collars to my wardrobe. I saw the pink one styled by Susan on her susanafter60 style blog and fell in love with it. I’ve noticed the Duchess of Cambridge bringing pie crust collars into her wardrobe and was excited to add that style of collar into mine again. I wore them all the time in the 80’s when Princess Diana popularized them. I even saw several pie crust collar blouses in J Crew last week, and I feel like if J Crew carries them then they’re definitely having another moment. I like both jackets but find the white one easier to pair with multiple outfits. The pink one I have only worn with white jeans.

    Sending wishes for all things good and wonderful!
