Some tips for wearing the classic denim jacket:
Stay away from the double denim look. Stay away from denim jeans if you’re going to wear your denim jacket. Go with khakis, colored denim or cords.

Treat your denim jacket as if you would a pair of jeans. Wash infrequently to preserve the color. It may shrink and hot-water washes.
