Hey Fashion Bombers!
It’s Vuitton here with a trend report on a spring staple: denim jackets.
Leather jackets may have to take a back seat!
For some odd reason last Friday, while all my friends were craving food, I had a craving for a jean jacket. So I hopped on over to Zeller’s and found a Levi’s denim number for about $40. Quite a steal, plus it’s a perfect item for those warm, but brisk days.
Here are some looks for both men and women that incorporate my favorite new piece!
For having brunch al-fresco with your girlfriends…
1. Old Navy Denim Jacket,$25. 2. Strapless Petals Cutout Dress, $28. 3.Bakers Berkely sandal. $70. 4. Faux-Lex gold watch, $30. 5. Fashion Bangle Set,$6.
1. H81 Elisha Denim Jacket, $27. 2. Old Navy Roll-Up Twill Shorts, $15. 3. Winona Knit Top ,$23. 4. ASOS Leather Fringe Flats, $46. 5. Chantel Button Hobo, $34.50.
For your inner vamp…
1. American Eagle Vintage Denim Jacket, $49.50. 2. BDG Boyfriend Patchwork Jean, $30. 3. Truly Madly Deeply Deep V Neck Tee , $24. 4. Oh…Deer Sweetie Black Patent Pump, $82. 5. Super Candy by Candace Ang Satin Ruffle Necklace, $68.
And for the guys…
1. Wrangler Denim Jacket, $86. 2. Everyday Straight Leg Khakis, $19. 3. Fitted Perfect shirt, $39.50. 4. American Eagle Boat Shoes, $39.50. 5. Match Necklace, $15.
And to channel your inner Pharrell…
1. Levi’s Trucker Jacket, $68. 2. Empyre Punk Rock Paul Detroit Blue Jean,$45. 3. Exact Science Kicks & Ass Tee, $29. 4. Reebok Pump Omni Lite, $100. 5. Talking Japanese Watch, $19.
Rock your denim with confidence, but first pay attention to a few rules:
1. NEVER wear the exact shade of denim on top and on the bottom. You don’t want to end up looking like an extra in a late 90s music video. Contrast is key!
2. It’s spring, so roll the sleeves. Ladies can take it as high as the elbow. Guys, just roll up enough to show the wrist, especially if your watch game is on point.
3) Popped collars on denim jackets are much better than popped collars on shirts…ALWAYS!
That’s it for now. Until next time…keep it fab!

Hmmm, I have been tossing this trend around in my head, but maybe I’ll pop out an buy a denim jacket… I just can’t get the 90’s out of my head.. I think Rihanna rocked it best, I might just opt for a gillet instead.. Great post though

Great story, I have been thinking of buying a denim jacket, but I’m looking for something vintage-y like the one Kanye is wearing. Thanks, Vuitton!

Vuitton you are AWESOME! I love the looks you put together and they are all very affordable. i love The Fashion Bomb, but sometimes the clothes are a little too pricey for us fashionista on a budget. I will definetly be piecing together the first outfit! Thanks, Vuitton!!!

OMG this post was awesome! I bought a denim jacket like 3 years ago so I don’t have to spend $40 to buy another one and I’ve noticed that it’s a trend in Hollywood too! LOL Looks like I’m gonna have to get my Kanye/Kelis on this spring and rock my jacket with different pieces and look fab doing so. THANKS VUITTON!

The fashion Bomb is always on point! Are u guys reading my mind? I was just entertaining the idea of buying a lil’ denim jacket for the spring season. A jean jacket is classic and comes in enuff varying styles to stand out in the crowd. Now I just have to figure out where I’m gonna purchase mine… the GAP maybe?

Looks GREAT!
