Denim jackets for women

An everlasting classic

Born from American workwear, the denim jacket has become one of the most versatile staples in the women's wardrobe. It can be worn over a floral dress, a white t-shirt, a knitted jumper or a hoodie, from mid-season to summer evenings. Its denim fabric, made of sturdy cotton twill, ages beautifully over time and takes the shape of the wearer, to the point that people often keep the same one for years.

Other jackets

Puffer jackets and coats also come in various forms:

• Leather jackets.
• Blazers.

• Coats.
• Puffer jackets.

All jackets can be found on the puffer jackets and coats page.

The cuts

The oversized cut, like the Urban Classics inspired by the 1980s or the Nümph, which is loose and casual, can be worn over a sweatshirt or a dress. The slim cut, such as the Guess, hugs the waist for a structured look. The short or cropped jacket stops at the waist and pairs well with high-waisted trousers. Embroidered and printed models, like the Desigual Mickey or Etnica, or the F.A.M. Paris embroidered jacket, add a creative touch, and the Carhartt Rylan, made from sturdy fabric, carries a workwear spirit.

Washing and care

The wash gives character to the jacket: raw and dark for a polished look, light and worn for a casual style. Jackets made from organic cotton, like those from Nudie Jeans, a committed Swedish brand, reduce environmental impact. One washes their denim jacket rarely, inside out, at thirty degrees, to preserve its colour, and it should be air-dried. The first wash of raw denim should be done alone, as the dye may bleed.

Good deals

Good deals can also be found in good plans, promotions, clearance sales, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals feature the latest collections, and items shipped in 24 hours are prepared and sent out quickly. The key events of the year follow a steady order: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the festive season, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, followed by the summer sales and the back-to-school period.

Frequently asked questions

What trousers to wear with a denim jacket?

A black pair of trousers, beige chinos, or white trousers create a nice contrast. For a total denim look, choose two distinctly different washes. The jacket can also be worn over a floral dress or a midi skirt.

How to wash a denim jacket without fading it?

Wash it infrequently, turned inside out, in cold or low temperature, with a detergent for dark colours. Dry it flat or on a hanger rather than in the dryer, which can shrink cotton.

Oversized or fitted denim jacket: which one to choose?

The oversized cut, like that of Urban Classics, layers well over a sweatshirt or thick jumper. The slim cut, as seen at Guess, accentuates the waist over a dress or t-shirt. It all depends on what you'll be wearing underneath.

How to know if a denim jacket is the right size?

The shoulder seam should fall at the edge of the shoulder, the sleeves should stop at the wrist base, and the jacket should fasten without pulling at the buttons. Allow for a bit of ease for wearing a jumper underneath.

How to wear an embroidered denim jacket daily?

Pair it with solid basics like a white t-shirt, black trousers or a simple dress, to let the embroidery shine. Models like F.A.M. Paris or the Desigual patterns are enough to add character to a simple outfit.
