Shop This: Tina's Favorite Summer Jacket

Tina, here.

There's nothing boring about a classic. And one that keeps on giving summer after summer is truly worth every penny. I speak of a white denim jacket. Why are they just the best?? Because the collar frames your face nicely, denim breathes, it doesn't wrinkle, and you can bleach the white ones.

My white denim jacket is by KUT, and is less than $100. It also comes in petite and plus sizes.

Be sure to cuff the sleeves. If you don't, you're not allowed to wear it. Mkay cupcakes? Key to a good cuff on a denim jacket is a tight armhole. In fact, the entire jacket must be a kind of shrunken fit to not look frumpy. So don't go dig out your baggy white denim jacket from 1984 and think it's cool again. It's not. But this one is.

 

I don't want to ever see you fastening the buttons on your denim jacket. That's a big no-no. If it's fitted enough through your waist, it will look fine left open, I promise. But the key is for it to be fitted through the waist. White denim stretches more than darker denim, so buy the jacket tight-ish. Do not buy it roomy, thinking the tighter fit feels too small or tight. It will grow.


A denim jacket can make a dressy dress a bit more casual.
