Quick answer

Pair a denim jacket with a soft, slightly cropped Henley Top for a balanced, casual look. The key is choosing a top that complements the jacket's weight and silhouette.

Why the right top matters

A denim jacket is a sturdy, often boxy layer. The top underneath should be soft and flexible to avoid bulk. A slightly cropped top, like the Henley Top, creates a natural break that prevents the jacket from overwhelming your frame.

Steps to style a denim jacket with a top

  1. Choose the right top fabric: Pick a top with soft, stretchy material like TENCEL Modal. This prevents stiffness and allows easy movement under the jacket. Avoid stiff cotton tops that add bulk.
  2. Consider the top length: A slightly cropped top, such as the Henley Top, hits at the waistband of your pants. This prevents excess fabric from bunching when the jacket is zipped. If the top is too long, tuck it in to avoid a messy look.
  3. Button or unbutton the jacket: For a relaxed vibe, leave the jacket unbuttoned to show the top. Buttoning it up creates a cleaner line, but make sure the top fabric is thin enough to avoid pulling. Test the fit with the jacket buttoned to ensure the top doesn't create wrinkles.
  4. Add accessories to balance: Roll the jacket sleeves or add a simple necklace to draw attention to your face. This breaks up the denim and adds personality. Keep accessories minimal to maintain the casual feel.
