What to wear with a denim shirt?

A denim shirt is as indispensable a part of a women's wardrobe as a little black dress and a classic jacket for men. You can make an ensemble with it an infinite number of times. If you think that you can and should wear it only with jeans and a T-shirt, you are very mistaken.

The widespread use of denim as clothing has been known since the days of cowboys, they wore a leather hat and rode horses. In the 17th century, the denim we all loved appeared. At that time, it was used for tailoring not everyday clothes, but only work clothes. The fabric was associated with hard work and penny labor.

There are the following types of jeans:

1. Dry
2. Selvage
3. Stretch
4. Poly
5. Ramie Cotton Denim

They differ in texture, color and material options that are added (lycra, elastane, viscose, polyester). The most popular are denim and jean. The first name is believed to have come from “serge de Nimes” (from the French name of the city of Nimes), the second from the incorrectly pronounced name of one of the cities in Italy “Genoa”, it was there that they produced low-priced, but high-quality fabric (marine uniform) .

In 1969, in the pages of American Fabrics magazine, a review was published about the history of the appearance and manufacturing technology of this fabric. This was the starting point for the birth of denim.

Everyone knows that the ancestor of denim is Levi Strauss. In 1853, he opens Levi Straus & Co, which was posthumously inherited by his nephews. It was they who began to mass-produce clothes from jeans. The popularity was added by the fact that in addition to trousers, shirts and overalls began to be sewn from denim.

In 1947, another American denim brand appears. The name "Wrangler" is also known to all mods. At the same time, the Japanese brand "Tsunemi" appeared, founded by Mr. Tsunemi himself. He was involved in the export of jeans from the United States.

It was in the eighties that a denim shirt appeared on a fashion show and since then, it has been a must-have for any fashionista.

If we talk about the trends of that time, then the combination of "jeans + jeans" was a bad form. However, in the collection of the Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana 09”10, models appear dressed from head to toe in denim. As everyone in the fashion world knows, after such a high-profile show, a denim "epidemic" began. The denim shirt once again proved its versatility. Today, such a combination rather emphasizes your knowledge of fashion for others, unlike the time when this combination would only cause laughter from others.

1. If you are a man, remember that a denim shirt will be perfect with trousers. If a woman, with a voluminous flying skirt. Complete these images with a brown belt.

2.A denim shirt is ideally combined with garnet-colored items that have been relevant in recent seasons. Complete the look with knitted accessories.

3. A fashionable casual look should be made up of a denim shirt (in this case, dark colors) and a large-knit cardigan. Shoes should be chosen a little rough.

4. For women, the option "take from a boyfriend" is suitable. In other words, if the length of the shirt allows, you can wear it as a dress or tunic. We complement with any thin belt that matches the texture and color of the image.

5. An ultra-fashionable combination that catches the eye, of course, “denim + denim”. Top and bottom should not match. Due to the wrong combination, according to the principle of shade, there was a false opinion that jeans did not match.

A huge ridiculous example was the 2001 red carpet appearance of pop stars Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears. If you don't remember, find a photo on the Internet, analyze it, memorize it, and never do that. If it suddenly turns out that things are of the same shade, dilute them with a contrasting strap, a plain T-shirt (gray, black, white) or a bag.

Pair a baggy shirt with skinny jeans for an off-duty ensemble. Or vice versa, if you have a fitted silhouette, opt for a voluminous skirt below the knee.

No accessories with denim texture or its imitations. There must be a golden mean in everything! Especially in the selection of accessories. It is advisable to avoid "denim shades": blue, blue, turquoise.

In cold weather, do not be afraid to add denim under a jacket to your look. Think carefully about accessories. Pay attention to the right footwear.

This option is perfect for young girls. The color of the dress can be any, both dark and pastel shades. The cut can also be anything, but loose dresses look the most advantageous, over which a shirt is worn. To complete the look, we add fashionable massive jewelry, of any shape and color, and a clutch on a chain over the shoulder. Shoes can be varied, stilettos, heels, wedges, sneakers, ballet flats.

A great light look for an evening walk. Various colors and textures are possible. Cut shirts, you should choose a free one. In this case, it will be more beautiful if you tie a shirt at the waistline. The color of the shirt can be bright shades, fashionable and suitable for you. As accessories, we choose a straw hat with large or small brim. From shoes, open sandals, ballet flats will look great. We choose a shapeless, large bag.

In this image, the shirt will be a jacket or cardigan. We put on a plain T-shirt under the shirt, it will be good if you choose shorts in a contrasting color or bright and unusual colors. The top will also look good, both short and elongated. Under dark jeans, we choose accessories “under gold”, if the jeans are light, it will be more profitable to serve it with jewelry “under silver”. As jewelry, you can choose vintage jewelry and a belt in brown tones. Shoes choose rough, cowboy or summer boots with flat soles.

In this image, an underlined waist will look like a highlight. We choose a voluminous skirt, a la the 60s. Skirts in large polka dots, red, blue, white will look perfect.This image will emphasize fragile ankles. Shoes must be with heels, otherwise visually the whole idea of ​​the bow will be lost. The waist should be emphasized with a wide belt. We focus on the lips, the classic red lipstick will look chic. We complement the image with a clutch.

In this case, we create an “air image”, no aggression. Choose a skirt in calm, pastel shades. White, beige, peach colors will look good. We fill the shirt either inside, or again, we tie it at the waist. We complement the image with high-heeled pumps and a clutch. Silver jewelry with bright stones will look gorgeous.

This look will look great at work, due to the classic pencil skirt. In cold weather, wear a fur vest over your shirt. Do not forget to dilute the image with a belt. We choose a bag either on a strap, over the shoulder, as a clutch, or in the usual classical form.

This image is similar to a combination of a shirt + dress on the floor. The difference between these images will be in the emphasized waist and the choice of bag.

It is this option that can be called a classic combination, due to the fact that leggings fit to the body much better than skinny jeans. We leave the shirt unbuttoned, put on a black / white top or T-shirt under the bottom. Shoes can be varied, like ballet flats, stilettos, cowboy boots, or just leather boots above or below the knee in dark, deep colors. As accessories, we choose massive bracelets and necklaces, you can emphasize the fragile neck - with a handkerchief. The bag can be replaced with a backpack by throwing a strap on only one shoulder.

It is worth noting that in the men's wardrobe, it will be the same universal thing as in the women's.Despite this, many men are either afraid or simply do not know how and with what to wear it correctly. Therefore, below are several options for combining a men's denim shirt.

To make the bow look trendy and at the same time universal, you should pay attention that you need to choose things that are contrasting in tone. It is better that the top is light. If the tones of the jeans are almost the same, so that everything does not merge together, it is worth diluting with accessories of other colors.

If the shirt and the bottom are the same color, we put on a jumper or pullover on top of a juicy and bright tone. Thus, the cuffs and bottom of the shirt will peek out slightly. But in this case, the shirt should not be too long, otherwise it will look as if you stole someone else's thing and put it on in a hurry.

A denim shirt can be worn not only with jeans, it can also be worn with casual trousers. Shoes are selected for each option separately. Everything will depend on whether there is a tie, belt, and other points.

The shirt can also be worn with a cardigan.

It is convenient that it can be both unbuttoned and buttoned, the main thing is that it fits you in size. In the case of a cardigan that is not properly sized, folds will be visible under it, since the denim material is dense.

The classic option is a denim shirt + leather jacket option. For cold weather, that's it. You can add stylish glasses to the image, for example, aviators.

It will be interesting to combine a denim shirt with a tweed jacket. For the bottom, choose jeans or casual trousers.

Especially fashionable this season is the combination of shirt + bomber jacket. It can be of various colors and textures. It all depends on your preferences.

Not only in the women's version, but also in the men's shirt + t-shirt combination looks advantageous. Don't know which one to choose? Wear white and you can't go wrong. In this case, it is worth rolling up the sleeves above the elbow.

A denim shirt will look spectacular in combination with bright rolled-up shorts just above the knee. Complete the look with a neutral belt and moccasins.

A denim shirt is an indispensable part of the wardrobe, and denim has long been a classic. Indulge in the pleasure of experimenting with this basic and must-have wardrobe item.
