Denim shirts are back in style.
If you don’t have one in your closet yet, it’s a worthy
investment. Other types of casual shirts are still quite similar in fabric and
general aesthetics, but a denim shirt will bring something different to your
wardrobe. It will add some variety.
Denim shirts still have the stigma of being primarily
worn by people’s dads, but a stylish man can wear items in ways that break
their stigma. It’s not the shirts itself that give people the dad-look,
it’s the way some people wear them. To prevent you from looking like your old
man, you need to understand how to wear a denim shirt fashionably.
For guys, fashion changes at a plate-tectonics pace. So
going from a pair of jeans to jeans, a jean jacket and a denim shirt — all in
one wearing — can look drastic, in the same way that Brad Pitt's backwoods
beard seems a bit much, even in the midst of a facial-hair frenzy.
Denim is a huge, huge way of expressing yourself right
now. The trick is you don't want to look like you're wearing the same denim on
top as on the bottom. Instead pair a darker and lighter wash, wear a white
T-shirt with dark blue jeans, black motorcycle boots and a distressed (lighter
blue) old denim jacket.
If you're going to double up on denim, it's safest to
keep the color of your top half lighter than the bottom. A darker shirt on
lighter jeans doesn't work. It has something to do with the visual center of
gravity.

Here are a few stylish ways to wear a denim shirt that
are quite easy to pull off.
Look 1: Denim Shirt with Chinos
The easiest way to make a denim shirt work is to wear a
pair of chino pants with them. Most people only wear denim on their lower half,
so this is a great way to turn that look upside down. Seriously, this is a hard
look to screw up. Chinos in light shades of brown work especially well with
denim shirts, just look at the images above. Also, the open denim shirt look in
the middle is awesome for summer/spring.
Look 2: Denim Shirt with Jeans
Wearing a denim shirt with jeans has become quite trendy
lately. The double-denim look used to be the fashion faux pas that created the
dad-look mentioned earlier. Now, fashion-forward people have made it work. The
trick with the double denim look is to make sure there is a contrast between
the top and bottom piece. The only way this look works is when one piece is
dark denim and the other is light.
Look 3: Denim Shirt with Cardigan
You can still rock your denim shirt in the colder months
by adding a cardigan. This will keep you warm, and with the right cardigan, it
can look amazing. The denim shirt is enough of a statement piece, so just wear
it under a neutral cardigan, and you’ll have an awesome look on your hands.
Thick knit cardigans look especially manly with a denim shirt.
These are not the only ways to pull off a denim shirt,
but they are the easiest. If you’re new to wearing denim shirts, just try these
3 looks first, and then work yourself up to wearing them with a tie or blazer.
Once you’re comfortable with wearing denim shirts, you could even try wearing
them with a suit. But that’s a pretty advanced look, and I wouldn’t recommend
it to fashion newbies. Remember, just stick to the basics, and you’ll do fine.
