These Denim Jacket Silhouettes Will Save Your Style In 2020

There is no better time than right now to get yourself a new version of this outerwear staple.

Most things get worse with age, but a select few have the opposite effect over time: wine, cheese, Beyoncé, and an everlasting denim jacket. The denim jacket is true iconic style. You could time travel back and forth with a jean jacket without looking a single day out of place.

Choosing a denim jacket is like choosing a partner or a best friend. You want one that feels like a natural fit, and one you can reach for over-and-over again and you don’t get sick of hanging out with each other every day.

Does that mean it can’t be leopard print or straight out of the costume department of Stranger Things? No, it does not. Nothing is more personal than a denim jacket, so while we have our favorites, I’m really just here to make introductions. And man, I’m feeling really good about this bunch. Someone’s going to find a lifer today, I can feel it.

I promise that spending hours (or even weeks) tracking down your version of the perfect denim jacket is a task you won’t regret. It might hurt a little at time (and yes, I’m talking about your bank account) but once you finally take home “the one”, it’ll change your style for the better every day of the week.

Your t-shirts will magically turn into outfits, your work clothes will appear cooler by association, and your collection of cool trousers will finally get the partner-in-crime they deserve. Honestly, it’s probably the most important purchase you’ll make all year (other than, you know, health insurance). So, roll up your sleeves and start matching.
