New Ways to Style a Denim Jacket
On-Duty
Put that blazer back in the closet. For the perfect balance of nine-to-five style and off-duty chic, a denim jacket is where it’s at. To keep the look feeling sharp, structured separates are key — think tailored trousers and sleek modern tops. Upgrade those classic black pumps for kicks with a little more style in their step, like a traditional loafer with a stiletto mule twist. Accessories should be sophisticated, but not stuffy, and that’s where a white marble tusk comes in.

Party On
If you’re ready to break away from the standard party dress, a jumpsuit is the way to go. Wooden platform sandals will bring this outfit into throwback territory, while a tribal collar has that whole boho-chic down pat. Polish things off with a wordy clutch and your fave denim topper for a night-out ensemble with a kick.

Off-Duty
The recipe for off-duty success? For us, that comes in the form of a comfy knit dress, cool colorful kicks and a few of-the-moment add-ons like a tough-as-nails chain necklace, bucket bag and eco-awesome wooden shades. And when you throw that jean jacket into the mix, you’ve got the perfect blend of casual and sophisticated styles.
