Fashion trends come and go, but a select few continue to withstand the test of time. Very few are able to transition from season to season. However, topping that list is the iconic denim jacket.
As we continue preparing our wardrobes for autumn, a denim jacket is a great lightweight option for cooler days and they easily pair well with jeans, leggings and statement-making fall dresses.
The original denim jacket look has expanded into different styles, colors and trends — but if you want to stick to tradition, you can go the classic route and embrace the look that has been around for more than 100 years.
If you don't own this wardrobe essential already — or you're wanting to add more denim jackets to your collection — you'll be able to find some picks below that can easily become year-round staples.
