I have one I keep adding patches to that I find cool

Same! I love personalizing my jean jacket.

I still have the jacket I got in high school. It fits great 35 years later. Wore it last week.

Just bought my first jean jacket a few days ago! I’ve been on the lookout for one for a few years now in thrift stores with no luck so when I found one in Target for $40 I caved and bought it new. Going to put some patches I’ve been acquiring on it!

I don't have a jeans jacket, I guess they are fine? Subbed here from the other related Lemmy post, thanks!

Most of my fashion knowledge comes from a book I read back from 2010 "Undateable: 311 Things Guys Do that Guarantee They Won't be Dating Or Having Sex". Maybe not high fashion but it stears you away from some dangerous combinations.

Nowadays I'm firmly in Dad territory with khaki shorts, but I don't wear sandals with black socks (anymore).

Trick question: what kind of socks do you wear with sandals?

I have three lol. A classic Levis that's naturally distressed, a fitted Ted Baker in dark denim, and a bone white. They work really well in my business casual environment.

What kind of pants do you wear to work? I love my jean jacket, but don't want to rock a Canadian tuxedo. Granted, I live in the Midwest and push the boundaries of business casual in the post COVID world. Most days are jeans and a long sleeve tee or thermal, but now that it's warming up I'm wearing graphic tees.

Thinking about getting a corduroy jacket instead, lol.

When I worked in an office it was shorts/tshirt or sweats/hoodie. Sometimes shorts/hoodie when summer is turning into fall.

Typically chinos in grays and blues with a golf or collared shirt depending. I keep a white shirt, jacket, and tie in my office in case I need to go to a fancy meeting.

I'm gonna go one further - I don't even own Jeans trousers. As for why - Dunno, just don't like the way they look.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I have no where to be in Canada that requires a tuxedo.

I can't recall if I have an actual denim jacket, but I might.

I have some raw denim shirts that sort of fit that niche but I never wear them since I started breaking in some raw denim jeans and have since become stuck wearing them all the time.

have one, perfect fit for early autumn walks. Now I only need to find a giant Slayer patch to sew into it...
