The Classic Denim Jacket Is a Must-Have Staple — Here are the Top Five to Shop For Right Now
From Levi’s to Everlane, these are the jean jackets that will be your ride-or-die.
Spring is all about getting outside, but what about when the weather calls for a little more than a T-shirt but less than a coat? A denim jacket. The classic denim jacket is structured and durable, something to be worn with practically any outfit. It’s the perfect layer for the days of spring when it’s 50 degrees in the morning and 70 by noon.
We’ve taken the time to look through some of the best denim jackets on the market and narrowed it down to just five. These represent the jackets that will follow you through season after season and beyond.

The Denim Jacket in Black, $88 from Everlane: I personally think everyone should have black denim in their wardrobe, whether that’s a jacket or jeans.
