A cropped denim jacket is an easy way to try the trend without buying a whole new wardrobe. Pair it with pieces you already own and you have new outfits instantly.

How to Care for Your Cropped Denim Jacket

Washing less often keeps the color rich and helps your cropped denim jacket age beautifully, season after season.

Finding Your Perfect Size

Measure a jacket you already love by laying it flat and checking the bust, shoulder and length. Compare those numbers with the size chart on this page to choose with confidence.

If you are between sizes, think about how you will wear it. Pick the smaller size for a neat look over tees, or the larger size if you love layering hoodies and chunky sweaters underneath.

Remember that denim softens and relaxes a little with wear, so a jacket that feels snug at first will usually feel just right after a few days.
