You have probably heard of leggings. Those are long, baggy pants that women wear to look cool and cover up their legs. Well, men also wear them, and if you wear a plain white t-shirt under a hoodie you’re probably looking cool as hell. But did you know that you could make your denim jacket look like it has never been washed? With a little bit of effort and some accessories, you can make your jacket look perfect for the beach or at the park. This article will give you some tips on how to wash your jacket with style.
Start With The Clothes
When you get into the habit of washing your jacket, you might notice that it doesn’t look as good as it used to. This is because the oils from your skin can sometimes wash away the treatment the cloth has received for the odor. You can avoid this by hanging it somewhere far from the skin and showering it once a week. If you can’t do this, at least try to wash your jacket on the gentle cycle once every month.
Another problem that you might encounter is that when you wash your jacket it can shrink a bit. This will make the sleeves look too small for your arms. If this is the case, put your wet jacket on a coat hanger and give it a good stretch. This should help you get the right fit without risking your skin or the clothes you’re wearing under it. Many people are blessed with having a perfect fitting jacket, but for those of us with lesser bodies, this can be hard to find. So, if you have to wash your jacket often, make sure to put it on a coat hanger and give it some good, long stretches until it returns to its original size.
Take Your Time
When you’re looking at a brand new pair of jeans, you’ll notice that there’s a wide variety of styles and colors to choose from. But before you buy them, you should try on a few pairs of jeans in different venues to see how they look. In other words, don’t just go for the first pair of jeans you see in the store. Take your time in choosing the perfect style for you.
And please, don’t stress about the fit. There’s a million different ways for you to fit into a pair of jeans, and chances are, there’s a style that will work perfectly for you. If you try on a pair of jeans and they feel comfortable, you’ll know that they’ll be able to mold you into the perfect shape.
Protect The Fabric
Did you know that your jeans are likely to deteriorate quickly if they aren’t washed regularly? The oils from your skin and the sweat from your body can cause your jeans to stain and ruin your favorite pair of denim in no time. To avoid this, always make sure that your jeans are clean when you wear them. This means washing them every few days at the very least.
And if you can’t afford to wash your jeans often, at least use some laundry detergents with a bleach booster to get that beach-ready glow without risking your skin in anyway. Just remember not to wear your stained or wet clothes for more than a day or two before washing them again.
Accessorize
There’s no denying the fact that your clothing can become an extension of your personality. Your jeans and jacket can be the focal point of your outfit, or they can be the pieces you use to accessorize your ensemble. If you have a cool, funky hairstyle that you always want to keep in mind, a bandeau top and some stonewash jeans are going to make you look and feel amazing. You can also swap the plain t-shirt for a graphic tee, or go for a full-on grunge look with an oversized sweater and some chunky heels or boots.
There are endless possibilities for styling your jacket. So, to give you some inspiration, here are some of our top tips for styling your denim jacket:
Beach-Ready
For beach-ready style, go for light wash jeans in a low/mid wash, or even a high/dark wash if you want to go for an extra-trendy look. In a nutshell, you want to keep your jeans from being too bright so that they don’t ruin your outfit in the sun. If you aren’t sure whether or not your jeans will look good on the beach, try out a few styles beforehand to confirm. And please, don’t wear black for the beach. It’s not a versatile color and it’s difficult to keep afloat on the sand. For an extra-trendy yet still beach-ready look, go for white jeans with a dark tan and a few sunblock patches on them. You can wear this with an oversized t-shirt and some funky sunglasses to pull off the quintessential beach vibe.
Sporty
For a more sporty look, go for dark wash jeans in a mid-high wash. Make sure to keep your wrist flexed and away from your chest as you wear your jacket so that it doesn’t ride up. If you’re not used to wearing your jacket and skirt together, make sure to keep your skirt below your hips while wearing your jeans. Varying the height of your skirt and wearing a low-waisted figure will also help you achieve the sporty yet feminine vibe.
Your jacket can be your best friend on the beach, in the park, or even on a night out. If you want to dress according to the occasion, choose your jacket accordingly. For example, if you’re going to a barbeque night, you’ll want to go for a thicker, sturdier jacket so that you don’t get burned by the hot sauce. Or, if you’re going to a pool party, choose a lightweight jacket so that you can easily slip into your bikini.
Casual
For a more casual look, go for light wash jeans in a high/dark wash. If you aren’t used to wearing your jacket everyday, feel free to wear it over a plain Tee and a collared shirt instead. Vary the neckline on your collared shirt so that you don’t look like a total plonker. You can even go for a boat-neckline if you want to take the edge off your look a bit.
As you can see, there’s no wrong answer when it comes to choosing the perfect style for your jacket. Just remember to be yourself and choose your clothing according to how you feel. You’ll look amazing, and we can’t wait to see what you come up with.
