Good insights. </p> <p>Inge, good point. I popped mine on last night for dinner out when I realized that my husband was wearing jeans. Always perfect to dress things down. I was wearing the skirt below.</p> <p>Christina, The cropped fits nicely but I did like the boxy version too.</p> <p>Krishnidoux, good point about the full sleeves.</p> <p>jlpp, thanks for the idea of holding onto the older ones. My blue JCrew denim jacket is at least 4 years old, maybe older.</p> <p>Juniper, I like the Talbots one you mentioned. The fabrication is different from J.Crew so I would probably like it better.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-new-direction-for-denim-jackets#post-1810451 Tue, 23 May 2017 19:44:41 +0000 Nebraskim 1810451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two white denim jackets, both from Gap. I was thinking the other day that I purchased one in 2010, when I was on vacation in LA and it was surprisingly cold, and the other in 2013. I wear them all the time (which is why I duplicated; one is a size XL and gets worn over things with sleeves; the other, an L, gets worn over sleeveless tops. I never fully bare my arms.) The fit is more like the Talbot's jacket featured above -- slightly fitted. My mother had a jacket like that, and she loved it. In fact, I chose it for her burial outfit when she died in January. She was 86 but still interested in fashion. I bought a blush denim jacket at Target earlier this year. It's more fitted and I am wearing it a lot this spring. I veer toward classic cuts and fits. I would be leery of super boxy or cropped jackets as they feel short term. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-new-direction-for-denim-jackets#post-1810449 Tue, 23 May 2017 19:40:29 +0000 Greyscale 1810449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen all different cuts recently. I think you can just choose what you want. I have one that's a regular length and I'm looking for a cropped, slightly boxy one to go with my higher rise pants. I'm also intrigued by the minor trend of long (below hip) denim jackets too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-new-direction-for-denim-jackets#post-1810435 Tue, 23 May 2017 18:09:31 +0000 JuniperGreen 1810435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My mom gifted me a Talbot's white denim jacket after I told her I was on the hunt for one, and I'm quite pleased with the cut. &nbsp;I'm wearing mine today!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-new-direction-for-denim-jackets#post-1810433 Tue, 23 May 2017 18:05:10 +0000 Anonymous 1810433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like, own and use both styles. I think they serve different purposes much like different washes can. I tend to update denim jackets but also hold onto older ones forever.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-new-direction-for-denim-jackets#post-1810417 Tue, 23 May 2017 17:16:58 +0000 krishnidoux 1810417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the close-fitting and/or cropped styles fit you better, then go for that. Don't buy the boxy cut and then discover next year it was a fad. Especially if you aren't comfortable in it.<br />My guess is that the boxy style is there to accomodate this summer's trendy larger sleeves and roomier cuts. But not everything in your closet has&nbsp;large sleeves</p> <p>!<br />If it makes you feel any better, I too bought a jean jacket earlier this spring: it is a darker wash (indigo), tight fitting with spandex and stops at the waist. I have been wearing it over and over. It is very useful, as another trend this summer is max bottoms (loose, wide pants and max skirts); in this regard, the narrower jacket offers structure and balance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-new-direction-for-denim-jackets#post-1810409 Tue, 23 May 2017 16:47:24 +0000 Christina F. 1810409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always have better luck getting denim jackets from something like eBay, FWIW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-new-direction-for-denim-jackets#post-1810408 Tue, 23 May 2017 16:45:15 +0000 Inge 1810408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, I think the more tailored (cropped or a bit longer) are classics that will never go out of style. Other silhouettes, like the boxy ones you mention here, are more like trend pieces. Fun to mix it up.</p> <p>(Also, the boxier styles have been gaining momentum for a few seasons I believe, and I'm guessing, might stick around for a few more at least.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-new-direction-for-denim-jackets#post-1810405 Tue, 23 May 2017 16:41:41 +0000 Quietgirl 1810405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been looking for a white denim jacket. I purchased one from J.Crew, but it was rather stiff. (uncomfortable). As I was looking around the mall, I noticed both Madewell and Gap were showing rather boxy denim jacket styles. Is this a developing trend? I don't want to buy the close, cropped style and next summer find it is now out of style! Help! </p>
