How to choose a designer denim jacket

The trucker jacket is the classic shape: waist length, button front, chest pockets and pleats or seams down the front. Cropped versions sit above the waist and pair well with high-rise jeans. Oversized and longline jackets work as a light coat. Some houses add corduroy or suede collars, embroidery or deconstructed details.

A denim jacket should allow you to cross your arms without pulling across the back, and the sleeve should end at the wrist bone. If you plan to layer a hoodie or knit underneath, consider sizing up. Rigid denim jackets soften over the first few weeks of wear, so a snug first fit is normal.

With jeans, keep the two washes clearly different, or match them exactly for a deliberate double-denim look. Shop by cut in women's denim jackets and men's denim jackets, or see denim shirts for a lighter layer.

Questions, answered

Which brand is best for denim jacket?

It depends on the look you want. 7 For All Mankind and Diesel make classic truckers in many washes. Gucci, FENDI and Maison Margiela offer more design-led pieces with logos or reworked details. Stone Island and Brunello Cucinelli focus on fabric and finishing.

How should a denim jacket fit?

A denim jacket should sit close at the shoulders, with the seam at the edge of your shoulder. You should be able to cross your arms without strain across the back. Sleeves should end at the wrist bone, and a classic trucker should finish at the belt line.

Can you wear a denim jacket with jeans?

Yes. Either keep the washes at least two shades apart, such as a light jacket with dark jeans, or match them closely for a deliberate double-denim look. Black jeans with a blue jacket is the easiest combination.
