The Colored Denim Jacket Trend: Trust Us—It's a Thing
As someone who—no lie—has at least eight denim jackets of various washes and fits in her closet at all times (with more in storage), I can tell you that it’s truly one of the best outerwear options out there. Regardless of what season you’re in, they always come in handy to give your look a touch of cool, whether it’s layered under a faux-fur coat in the winter, over a leather jacket or around your waist in the fall, or on its own as your third piece in the warmer months.
With this in mind, I’m always elated to welcome a new sub-trend within the staple, really just as an excuse to buy a new one. As you probably guessed from the headline of this story, that’s what we have for you today. Just in time for spring and summer, the colored denim jacket is exactly the upgrade our wardrobes all need. Whether you opt for a bright yellow, pale lavender, or even white, anything that deviates from the traditional jean color will do the trick, and if you opt for a matching pair of jeans, even better. With every brand from Ganni to Zara on board, it’s sure to be a hit, so see how all our favorite brands are making them below and be sure to shop while you’re at it.
Available in sizes XXS to M.All done? Shop more spring pieces I’m loving.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
