Siren Style Guide: How to Layer a Denim Jacket This Spring

Posted by Katherine Yeilding on

Spring is finally here and we are so excited for sunshiny days, cool evenings, and a social calendar full of fun events. Make sure you welcome the season in style with the perfect layering piece: the denim jacket. They are versatile, chic, and effortless. 

Whether you’re celebrating Easter or Passover, sipping wine with friends, or handling school pickup in style, we’re showing you how to incorporate this classic staple into your wardrobe. And, of course, we’re weaving in some of Spring 2025’s biggest trends: feminine flowy details, preppy aesthetics, and the ever-classic U-shaped tank top to name a few. Let’s dive in!

1. Elegant & Festive: Easter & Passover 

For a refined yet relaxed Spring holiday look, layer your denim jacket over a flowy dress. Feminine silhouettes and airy fabrics are trending, so opt for a dress with romantic details like ruffles or a delicate eyelet hem. Complete the look with strappy platform heels, delicate gold jewelry, and a woven bag to carry everything you need in style.

 

2. Chic & Casual: Patio Wine Night with Friends

A denim jacket effortlessly elevates a polished yet laid-back look for a spring evening out. Try pairing a fitted utility-pleated skirt in khaki with a crisp, U-shaped tank top and a statement leather belt. Layer your denim jacket over the shoulders for a relaxed, effortless feel. Bold accessories like a scarf for when the sun goes down or an oversized tote add charm. Finish with a statement sandal and a glass of your favorite refreshment.

 

3. Effortlessly Cool: Sporty Chic for School Pickup

For a modern, athletic-inspired look that’s as practical as it is stylish, wear your denim jacket with joggers, an organic cotton tee, and a pair of sleek sneakers. A structured crossbody bag and oversized sunglasses keep it polished while maintaining that effortless, ‘just-threw-this-on’ vibe.

 

4. Weekend Errands: Stylishly Preppy & Put-Together

A polished yet comfortable weekend look calls for tailored pants with some stretch paired with a soft, lightweight blouse. Throw on your denim jacket and accessorize with ballet flats for a preppy touch. A structured bag ties the whole look together, making it perfect for a morning at the farmer’s market after a quick coffee run. This look effortlessly pairs classic pieces with current details.

 

5. Outdoor Gatherings: Effortless Layers for a Spring Picnic

Layering is key for those breezy San Francisco afternoons spent at Golden Gate Park for a weekend picnic. Pair a crochet top or knit tank with linen trousers and slip on your denim jacket when the temperature drops. Platform sandals complete the look, and don’t forget a chic sun hat and woven tote to embrace the relaxed, artisanal texture trend.

Final Touches: Finding the Perfect Denim Jacket

For our Siren shoppers, we recommend a high-quality, well-structured denim jacket that balances comfort with sophistication. Whether you choose a classic medium wash or a more tailored silhouette, this wardrobe essential will take you through spring with ease.
