Finding the right denim jacket for you
A denim jacket is a wardrobe staple that works for almost every season. The classic trucker shape has a pointed collar, chest pockets and a button front, and it pairs with dresses, jeans and tees alike. People search for denim jackets for women, men and in black, so the range is wide. Look at the wash, fit and weight of the fabric first, and pick a shade that suits your wardrobe.

Denim jacket washes and black denim
Wash makes a big difference to the final look. Light blue gives a casual, sun-faded feel, mid blue is the classic, and a black denim jacket looks sharper and goes with almost anything. Dark indigo suits smarter outfits, while distressed finishes add attitude. When the weather turns windy, compare windbreakers for a lighter layer over a tee, since they pair well with the same relaxed, everyday outfits people wear a denim jacket with.
Denim jacket fit, length and sizing
Denim jackets come in cropped, regular and oversized cuts. A cropped jacket suits high-waisted jeans and skirts, while a longer boyfriend fit layers over hoodies. Check the shoulder seam and sleeve length, because both are hard to alter. Rigid denim softens with wear, while stretch denim moves more easily from day one. For extra warmth in cooler months, try a sherpa-lined version or add gilets on top, which gives you easy layering without bulk.
Styling and caring for a denim jacket
Wear a denim jacket with a white tee and trousers, over a floral dress, or with a hoodie for a casual look. Denim all in one wash can look striking, but contrasting shades are easier. To care for it, wash it inside out on a cool setting and not too often, which protects the colour. Air dry away from direct heat to avoid shrinking.
