For fashion-lovers everywhere, spring 2023 has brought various sartorial trends, from seriously sheer silhouettes to Y2K-inspired bra tops. Of all the daring pieces commanding our attention this season, the jean jacket is the one trend that deserves a spot in our closets. It's the perfect in-between-seasons clothing item, a warm-day and breezy-night must have, and the best casual option for when you don't know what to wear. The classic streetwear piece has been around for decades, even dominating '90s and early-2000s fashion, as seen on some of your favorite celebrities like Victoria Beckham, Tyra Banks, JAY-Z, and Britney Spears.
While the wardrobe staple seems like a thing of the past, we've seen denim's revival on some of fashion's biggest runways. From Dion Lee's cutout jumpsuits to Diesel's denim escape showcasing shredded, biker, and trucker jean outerwear, the world's favorite piece of denim has clearly made a comeback with no sign of leaving. Retailers like Levi's, Gap, and ASOS have also given us plenty of new and innovative styles to add to our spring shopping carts, from cropped to oversize to patchwork and even trench silhouettes.
More recently, budding street style stars like Julia Fox and Lori Harvey have successfully championed jean jackets, showing their timeless reign. Fox elevated the denim-on-denim trend for Kenzo's Paris Fashion Week show with a Schiaparelli denim-cone bra jacket, baggy Carthartt jeans, and denim heels. Meanwhile, Harvey served ultimate '90s vibes at last year's Essence Festival in a head-to-toe denim look with a purple silk headscarf, burgundy top-handle bag, and matching heels.
