Regardless of the changing trends, there’s one closet staple that has proven to be a forever fashion find: a jean jacket. That should actually come as no surprise considering the timeless, enduring nature of denim in general. Sure, certain jean cuts might be more popular one season and fade out of style the next, but overall, jeans are a wardrobe classic, and as such, so is a denim jacket. Just ask your parents—they probably still have the denim jacket they wore in the ’80s hanging in their closets right this very minute. (Pro tip: Now might be the time to raid their wardrobes for a vintage jean topper no one else will be able to get their hands on.)
