One fabric that never goes out of style is denim, and when it comes to menswear, its versatility makes it a wardrobe staple. From relaxed jeans and classic denim jackets to dungarees and coordinated sets, it can take on different silhouettes and vibes with ease. Whether styled casually for everyday plans or elevated with statement pieces for a more fashion-forward look, denim offers endless ways to experiment and achieve ultra-cool fits.

Here are a couple of cues to explore when styling:

Wear Your Denim Jacket As A Shirt

Your denim jacket doesn’t always have to be the final layer. A lightweight or relaxed-fit style can easily be buttoned up and worn as a shirt, giving the classic piece a completely different feel. Pair it with tailored trousers or chinos to create contrast

Embrace Some Nostalgia With Dungarees

Dungarees bring a relaxed, nostalgic feel to menswear and offer an easy alternative to your usual jeans. Wear them with both straps up for a more classic approach or leave one undone for a deliberately laid-back finish.

Pair Your Jeans With A Statement Jacket

Give your everyday jeans a new identity by pairing them with a statement jacket. Think leather, bomber, varsity, utility or boldly coloured styles that instantly add personality to an otherwise simple outfit.

Double Down on Denim: Co-ords & Sets

Denim co-ords are an easy way to make a statement while keeping the look cohesive. From matching denim shirts and jeans to coordinated jackets and trousers, sets take the guesswork out of getting dressed. Play with proportions by pairing an oversized shirt or jacket with straight-leg or relaxed-fit bottoms, or keep things streamlined with more structured silhouettes.
