Ahoy there! Wanted to drop you a line and say that I think you have fine taste and a great blog. I was hoping you can answer something you've probably been asked before: I've recently thrifted a form fitting levi's denim jacket but find myself wondering what exactly I should be wearing with it. Any advice, rules, etiquette on denim jackets you'd like to share? If it means anything, I'm hispanic (black hair, olive skin), and hopefully my tumblr may give you an idea of what I'm into. Thanks a lot!

Denim jackets aren’t really my wheelhouse, but I’d take a look at suitsandboots to get some inspiration. I think he does quite well when he wears the denim jacket. 

I’d probably try to treat it a bit like any other layering piece, except in a casual manner. Maybe skip the necktie and go with a plaid button-down collar, crew-collar sweater and then the jacket on top. I’d avoid wearing indigo denim and instead go for another colored jean (tan, white, olive) or go with chinos (except maybe navy). 

Hope that helps.
