Basic Denim Jackets Don’t Stand a Chance Against the New, Rich-Looking Style That’s Taking Over

For as long as I can remember, denim jackets have been a key style in any capsule wardrobe. Every time that autumn rolls around and light jackets re-enter the everyday, I find myself turning once again to the reliable jean jacket that has seen me through countless years. But with September underway, I felt a little less excited about bringing out this trusted style. The new season offers a chance of renewal to our wardrobes, and after almost a decade of relying upon the same style, I searched around for an update to the denim jacket that felt a little more current, but still had the timeless appeal that draws me back to it. If you’ve also been looking for a fresh take on the denim jacket, you’ll want to know all about the denim barn jacket trend.

Contrast collars, bold patch pockets and a slightly oversized fit define the denim barn jacket style. Last year, the country jacket returned to prominence, bringing a touch of heritage and history to our outerwear collections, and through spring, we continued to reach for this elevated style. Most commonly, those were crafted from cotton canvas, but now a fresh twist has arrived with a classic denim coating.
