Forget everything you thought you knew about denim jackets. Denim jackets have grown up significantly since the ‘90s and today, the ‘staple’ piece comes in a variety of forms. The season is overflowing with endless unique trends when it comes to denim jackets and today, we have brought you all the denim jacket trends that should be on your radar STAT!

Patched-up denim is part nostalgic, part artsy—and it's gotten the runway thumbs-up from brands like Dior, which means you can expect to see a lot more of it in the coming months. Whether it’s Priyanka Chopra or Janhvi Kapoor, most B-Town divas have even given their approval to the look.

Normally the choice in denim wash exists in a binary: light or dark. But designers are no longer sleeping on some of the more underutilised alternatives, like grey. With patches of grey here interwoven with the traditional blues of denim, the look is cool and trendy!

This season's big comeback story is plucked straight from the eighties. Brands like Miu Miu and Stella McCartney are co-signing the return of the acid wash. The 2019 take on acid wash denim is considerably more toned down than you might remember it, and it'll pair quite nicely with all those knits of yours too.

The lovechild of our favourite, the hoodie is the hooded denim jacket and we love this ‘Hooded Denim Jacket’ from Zara. You could style it with a pair of jeans for a day out with your girls or you could team it with a matching white denim skirt from Zara for a chic and sporty look.

For added warmth, try one of the many denim jackets with a little bit of padding. It’s a great option for the winter months and makes for a very smart look too. This Maison Margiela ‘Shearling-lined Denim Jacket’ makes for one of our favourites.

If you cannot decide between dark denim and light denim, then this denim jacket trend is the one for you. This trend is even garnering major hype with celebrities such as Sonam K Ahuja. We love this Monse ‘Oversized Layered Denim Jacket’. It’s perfect for an evening out with your girls if you pair it with a girly and flowy dress.

The denim jacket's cousin, the denim trench, is a sneaky way to successfully integrate denim into your work wardrobe. Longer than a regular denim jacket, this option makes for a great one when you want to add a little drama to a casual look. Mango’s ‘Double Breasted Denim Trench’ should be on your to-buy list for sure!

Whether around the waist or around the mid-section, a belt adds some much-needed shape to the traditionally boxy cut. If you are looking for a belted denim jacket then this Proenza Schouler PSWL ‘Belted White Denim Jacket’ is for you.
