Jacket and Jeans: Classic or Dud

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed
Much maligned during the 1990s, seen only as fit for Lovejoy and Jeremy Clarkson, made a massive comeback over the previous 12 months, so there can only be a few more months before they're on the way out again. Classic or dud?

(Question prompted by seeing concurrent Blue and Will Young videos on Polish music TV)

Depends on the jacket & the cut of the jeans....and what's underneath the jacket.

Never not dud.

Yeah the miami vice look is no go but jeans and jacket can work in right circumstances. Will pointlessly find example using google image search now....

Using a guy who wears a tea cosy as an example is not perhaps overly persuasive.

i totally rocked that recently! with a polo shirt (not a Polo shirt, incidentally) under the jacket!!

With or without the tea cosy?

― Ricardo (RickyT), Sunday, 11 April 2004 23:08 (twenty-two years ago)

sans

One S. Chow was wearing a genius combination of jacket and jeans last night, and wore it well.

yeah the tea-cosy is a little naff but the rest: classic

denim jacket + denim jeans = super dud.

OMG! Moondance Jam takes place like 30 miles from my home town. I think it is like the biggest annual fest for washed-up classic rock in the world or something.

And those look like exactly the sort of Harley riding personal injury lawyer types that attend. Asses.

I was only able to read one name in that entire picture, and it was JONNY LANG.

Denim on denim is ALWAYS a mistake.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 12 April 2004 14:42 (twenty-two years ago)

jacket + T + right jeans = rowr
