I may have learned this style lesson a little late in life, but can we just collectively agree that fashion isn’t about sticking to rules — it’s about having fun and wearing what makes you feel amazing. I’m here to release the outdated idea that everything has to match. Like, perfectly.
Case in point? Sneakers with trousers or a skirt… that isn’t allowed (or so I thought). I also used to think I couldn’t “dress up” denim and wear it with a skirt or dress — or that I had to find the exact right jeans or pants to wear to match the denim of the denim jacket. Also, no and no.
It’s a new day. And one thing I always love is mixing and matching hero pieces. Enter this brand-new Naibi Cropped Denim Jacket — I am so here for this one. She’s a little ‘90s, a lot cool, and effortlessly versatile. You can wear her a million ways, but to get you started, here are five fresh looks to try.
Oh, and you can save 35% with code JEN through March 31 — because you deserve it.
1. Pattern Play FTW
Yes, you can absolutely wear your Cropped Denim Jacket with a leopard skirt. In fact, I insist. The contrast of the soft, light-washed denim with a bold, sassy print is peak casual-chic. Top it off with a pop of color like red sandals and add a basketweave clutch for texture. Boom. Instant outfit magic. Because as it turns out, mixing colors, patterns, and textures actually works — and it’s downright delightful.
2. Easy Breezy Layering
You know those days when the weather can’t decide what it’s doing? This Cropped Denim Jacket is your best friend. Throw it over a breezy floral maxi dress, add a pair of comfy white sneakers, and toss your hair in a ponytail. Layers equal effortless style with minimal effort.
3. Cool and Collected On the Go
Running errands, chasing kids, or just need a comfy outfit that still looks polished? Pair the Cropped Denim Jacket with sleek trousers, your favorite sneakers, and a crossbody bag. The jacket’s cropped length adds just the right touch of structure without feeling too buttoned-up. It’s perfect for those days when you need to be both functional and fabulous.
4. Casual Cool With a Twist
Denim on denim? A thousand times yes. Pair your Cropped Denim Jacket with high-waisted jeans in a slightly darker wash to create that ‘Canadian Tuxedo’ vibe — but make it fashion. Add a crisp white tee, gold jewelry, and fun sneakers (bonus points for Dr. Martens, if you’re anything like me and fully committed to 90s nostalgia). If you’re feeling bold, tie a patterned scarf around your neck or in your hair. Très chic.
5. Monochrome Magic
Want an instant style boost? Go all black. Black tee, black pants, black shoes — then toss on the perfect pop of denim with this Cropped Jacket. Add gold hoops, a bold lip, and maybe a pair of sunnies. It’s effortlessly cool with just the right amount of edge.
Another denim jacket for the win: The Merly
Okay, if you’re more of a classic denim jacket gal, let me introduce you to the holy grail: the Merly Jacket. It’s a forever staple, beloved by my community, and comes in four washes to match every mood.
Whether you’re running errands, meeting friends for coffee, or taking that last-minute weekend road trip, the Merly’s got your back (literally).
