According to my sources (i.e., the February 2004 issue of GQ) you may, in fact wear a denim jacket with jeans—a combo sometimes known as the Texas tuxedo—BUT it is devilishly hard to pull off. A couple of rules:
The jacket and jeans should be different shades of fade—one light, one dark. Dark and dark can also work, but you've got to have the swagger to carry it off. Light and light, GQ sniffs, will make you look "like Jon Bon Jovi circa Slippery When Wet."
Keep it snug. Relaxed-fit jeans are right out, and the jacket should be a size too small—tight in the armholes and ending right at your waist. And button the jacket partway: you're wearing a suit, remember. If you're a GQ model or a douchebag hipster, leave the bottom two undone and button the two across your chest. (If you're not a GQ model or a hipster douchebag, why the hell are you wearing a jean suit anyway?)
Wear with a t-shirt, long-sleeved thermal, or—depending on your degree of operational irony—white dress shirt open at the throat & a skinny black 80s tie.
To accesorize: $200 boots, greasy hair, blank expression, ironic trucker cap and a shotgun in your fucking mouth. |
