The off-duty update: The new denim jacket

Whether it’s indigo and pristine or faded and vintage-inspired, the denim jacket is a tried-and-tested wardrobe essential. But that doesn’t mean that it can’t be directional and exciting. From oversized shapes and exaggerated shoulders to colorful embroidery and embellishment, this season’s best are statement-making, standout pieces in their own right. How to wear them now? Pair yours with a modest floral dress and cowboy boots or double up with matching-shade jeans for a laid-back, contemporary take on the pant suit.
