Why Denim Jackets Are Trending Again

Every few years denim comes back, but this season it feels different. Instead of stiff, perfectly fitted jackets, women are choosing relaxed shapes, interesting details and washes that look a little worn in.

That shift fits real life. A softer jacket is easier to layer, more comfortable to move in and simpler to dress up or down, which is why so many outfit boards are full of denim right now.

A cropped jean 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.

2. Over a Hoodie

3. With a Slip Dress

A light blue crop over a black slip dress is a chic, easy evening look.

4. With Straight-Leg Jeans

Try the black jacket with light jeans, or light with dark jeans, for double denim done right.

How to Care for Your Cropped Jean Jacket

Wash it inside out in cold water with similar colors to protect the wash and any details. Skip the dryer and hang it to dry so it keeps its shape.

Washing less often keeps the color rich and helps your cropped jean 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.
