We tend to think of the denim jacket as being the typical blue jeans jacket but denim can be dyed any color. Black is always a popular choice for denim jackets as it is an easy color to wear. A good black denim jacket will look cool, last well, and is suitable for both men and women of all ages.
Denim comes in a wide range of shades of black from a midnight black to a very light faded gray that is almost white. Of course, black denim fades over time so most black denim ends up a shade of gray. Generally men look better in darker toned denim while women can wear a much wider range of colors.
For men, black is one of the few colors of denim that they can wear regularly. Black also suits the average man’s wardrobe as men do not generally like brightly colored clothes and stick to a more monochrome palette. A black jacket is not just for casual wear although it looks great over a pair of chinos and a white t-shirt. It can also dress down smarter clothes such as wearing one over a shirt and tie after work.
Black is a popular color for women’s wear as it goes with everything and always looks stylish. A black denim jacket is no exception and can be easily incorporated into a woman’s wardrobe. Women have access to a much wider range of styles and shades of black so it should be easy to find a jacket to suit any woman’s individual taste.
Denim has been a popular clothing material for over a century as it is easy to maintain and will last a long time. While the darker colors will fade over time there in no reason why a jacket should not last for many years if it is looked after properly. For this reason it is always a good idea to look for classic styles that will not go out of fashion.
