You’re Doing It Wrong

This has been bothering me for years.  And I know that I am not the only one who is disturbed by this phenomenon.  And who am I to criticise, really?  Afterall, I was the recipient of a fashion citation many, many years ago…for wearing baby blue splash pants in public.  In my defense, it was wet and snowy and windy and it seemed practical.  Nontheless, I think I am justified in pointing out this particular the fashion faux pas  – the combination of a jean jacket worn with jeans, especially of the same shade or wash.  Worse, and more common in the 80′s, but still spotted on occasion, is the acid-wash jean jacket with acid-wash jeans combination.  Seriously.  Don’t do it.  In general, and unless you are a cowboy, this goes for men as well.

Here is how you do it.  If you wear a jean jacket, wear it with non-denim pants or a cute skirt.  Pick up a J Crew catalogue if you need some examples.  If you must combine jean jacket with jeans, make sure that the washes are as different as possible.

Nuff said.
