A denim jacket is the most-worn layer most people own, and it improves with every year of it. This edit gathers our denim outerwear — classic trucker jackets, cropped and fitted cuts, oversized styles built for layering, and tailored denim blazers that bring structure to the fabric. Washes run from raw indigo through to distressed and ecru, with embellished and appliquéd styles for occasions. A denim blazer is the useful middle ground: it reads sharper than a jacket and softer than wool tailoring, which makes it work over a dress. Sizing on outerwear should account for what goes underneath — if you'll layer over knitwear, take your usual size rather than the smaller one.
