How do I wear my denim jacket? Can I wear skinny black jeans?

I’ve finally found a denim jacket that doesn’t make me look like a shot-putter. (Next if anyone is interested, it’s stretchy so stays quite fitted).

I’m currently too fat to wear it with summer dresses as I’d planned - I’m an apple shape and all weight gain goes on round the middle.

So, how do I wear it? Can I wear black skinnies? I’m 35 if that makes any difference.

I wouldn’t because it’s still jeans on jeans.
I wear a denim jacket to make work style trousers more casual.

Why can’t you wear a dress, but you can wear black skinnies? I’ve also got a Next denim jacket that I love. I wear it with skirts and tshirts, and it also looks good over wide legged trousers with a more fitted tshirt.

I can wear skinnies because they squash me in, plus wear a top that goes lower than my waist band. Honestly I look way. Water in jeans than a dress.

I’ve just realised I don’t even own a skirt!

A maxi skirt, with a semi-fitted tshirt just covering the waist band, can be very flattering if then worn with a fitted denim jacket.

I did last year. Not sure if I will this year though, I think I’m over my denim jacket. And my skinnies 😂

I wear mine with absolutely everything. I just leave mine in the car as it's a fail safe that I can wear anytime. Only exception is blue denim of any shade but I'd happily wear with black or any other coloured jeans.

🙈 I didn’t mean to sound bitchy @Sazquatch I’m sorry! Just sick of mine 😂

I wear my denim jacket with black skinny jeans. Why the hell not.

Go for it Smile
I happened to wear my denim jacket with black skinny jeans today

I wore my denim jacket with black skinny jeans a couple of days ago, loved it 😊

myusernamewastakenbyme · 12/08/2019 20:59

I wear mine with dresses and trousers...not sure id wear with black jeans though...

henpartystress · 12/08/2019 21:03

I wear these together. Looks great!

I wear my denim jacket (not fitted so a bit 90s looking/feeling) with skinny black jeans all the time! But I don't wear dresses or skirts so it's always going to be jeans [grin'[

I think wearing it with black skinny jeans is fine, but then i have been known to wear double denim 😬

BarrenFieldofFucks · 13/08/2019 20:44

With black is fine. I wear a blue denim shirt with black skinnies all the time.

Wavyheaded · 13/08/2019 23:37

I wear them together like that too. It's not really 'double denim' if they're different colours imo.
