How to Style a Denim Jacket for a First Date
For a first date, a denim jacket brings casual confidence without reading too stiff—layer it over a Midi Dress to soften the formality, or throw it on with Skinny Jeans and a White T-Shirt for an approachable, pulled-together look. Add a Statement Necklace to lift the combination just enough that it reads deliberate, not accidental.
