With cooler months in the horizon, it is time to take them out of your closet and get ready to style them.

Army Jacket + White Tee + Denim Jeans

One of the most classic ways to wear an army jacket is to pair it with a simple white tee and denim jeans. You can get more flexibility by choosing to wear it with sneakers or pumps (or any type of heels). You can therefore switch up your footwear depending on what time of day it is and where you are headed.

My favorite way to style army jacket is to wear it with feminine pieces such as a floral dress, or incorporating a bright floral scarf for a feminine touch. The contrast between the edgy jacket and the feminine detail makes the outfit elevated.

Aside from the classic denim jeans, pairing an army jacket with white jeans is also a gorgeous way to showcase this fall staple. The white jeans provide you with more flexibility when it comes to how to style your top or your choice of footwear.

3 Ways to Wear Your Jacket c/o TBDress.com

If you thought that denim jackets or coats are suited for the cold weather only, think again. Fashion of today is constantly being reinvented such that pieces are becoming far more versatile than they were ever designed for. A good jean jacket, for instance, is a wardrobe essential. But with different styles available on cheap women jackets, it is possible to splurge a little bit and expand on your styling options (even during the warm weather months!).

Take advantage of the awesomeness of the jackets in your arsenal. I am going to show you 3 ways that you can wear your jacket anytime of the year: 

1. Wear it with a dress. 

This might not be exactly novel to you, but it is such a classic choice of outfit, especially for cold summer nights. An edgy and slightly grungy denim jacket will help to add a classic touch to any look. But when you pair it with a dress, it adds a new depth and dimension to your style. 

2. Pair it with a white top. 

We all have a basic white tee or tank top on our wardrobe. But dressing them up can be a bit of a challenge because you do not want to look too simple wearing them. No need to worry. Simply pair it with a denim jacket or any jacket of your choice to instantly level up your outfit. You can add other styling elements to the look depending on what your intended look for the day is. 

3. Have fun with patterns! 

For a fun day look, you can wear your jacket over patterns such as stripes or prints. It is also a great trick to neutralize the pattern and providing a stabilizing effect to your entire outfit. Have fun with it! Do not let yourself be confined by the rules.
