Some of them have built subcultural acclaim, others have kept blue-collar workers warm. But no matter what, denim jackets have managed to shapeshift and solidify their place as an archetypal piece of clothing.
That ubiquity lends the denim jacket versatility. It can be layered over hoodies, thrown on with tailoring, or even paired with track pants for a day of dressing down. In honor of layering season, we've rounded up the best denim jackets on the scene right now.
