A denim jacket is a true warrior in every man's sartorial arsenal. A heavy-duty style that can be teamed with trainers to tailoring or a hoodie, this outerwear adds an instant oomph factor to any look.

But, aren't you a tad bit tired of wearing it over your white tee and blue jeans? Casually striding in it is a good thing but there are versatile ways you can experiment with just with one denim jacket. 

In order to help you avoid looking like you have repeated your jacket for the 100th time, here's a super-quick crash course on how to wear a denim jacket in five versatile ways.

1. Layer It Over A Printed Shirt

Scoring extra brownie points while wearing your denim jacket is quite easy. To do so, make the best use of a printed shirt to go under your denim jacket. A pair of black pants will be your safe bet here as a combination. Wear your jacket and bring out your sassy sunglasses and beat the chills in style.

2. Say Yes To Chinos

Who said only tapered pants look good with denim jackets? You have been living under a rock if you haven't experimented with chinos just as yet. They are a smart wear option that work well to take up your casual style a notch higher. For a classic pairing, wear a basic tee or a shirt underneath your jacket and couple it with neutral coloured chinos. Super easy, right?

3. Denim With Tailored Trousers

Contrary to the popular belief that a denim jacket can only look good for casual wear, pairing it with trousers can make a huge difference. Give a new meaning to smart casuals and work it with dark denim jackets. Layer it over a jumper or a black t-shirt, and pair it with charcoal trousers. Lastly, slip on your Derby shoes and get ready to make a statement.

4. Rock It With A Roll Neck

Yes, wearing your denim number with a shirt or t-shirt is super easy, but what about a roll neck? Well, all you need to do is consider the shade of your denim jacket and you can stand out even in a roll neck. Opt for a dark-hued denim number for the added bonus of looking like a street-style aficionado.

5. Denim & Joggers

For a look that's relaxed and appropriate for the weekend, arm your repertoire with a pair of joggers. Next, pull out your striped tee and throw on your jacket over it. This combination is uber cool, low-key and definitely a weekend companion that you will love sporting every now and then.
