The timeless look

A raw denim jacket is an investment for your fashion future. Practical and comfortable, it works easily with most pieces in your perennial wardrobe. For days when only style fail-safes will do, opt for L’Exception’s signature selvedge denim jacket, a crew neck jumper (or turtleneck), and softly tailored trousers – a look that guarantees to tick the boxes for both smart and casual occasions. A core classic from the L’Exception Paris menswear collection, designed to be truly timeless: quality selvedge denim, straight cut, a proportioned collar and antiqued silver-tone hardware. Job done.

The total look

Mastering double denim is the true test of the contemporary portmanteau. The secret to success? Sticking to one shade of denim. Look for a denim jacket that compliments the colour, wash & weight of your jeans. This season, L’Exception has sourced inspiration from the ultimate king of cool with an ode to James Dean – as reflected in our authentic & classic navy blue jacket. Just style with matching denim and a crew neck tee for instant Hollywood bad boy overtones. A quick fix for a retro look that’s ready in seconds, we appreciate its innate nonchalance and cool overtones – picked up in the cut and finish of this denim jacket.

The audacious look

If indigo isn’t your thing, turn your attention to alabaster tones and powder shades as seen in the off-blue wash of L’Exception’s denim jacket. Offering a fresh perspective on seasonal denim, its mid-weight fit and subtle shading makes it the ideal alternative to more traditional heavy twills during high summer. Confidently work in light coloured separates like white cropped pants (trending for SS19), a printed short sleeved shirt or a quintessential striped mariner for a more iconic Riviera look. A street or beach appropriate pairing, switch in vagabond leather sandals and trainers to suit the setting. Why not finish with a straw Panama to punctuate the look, too?
