Vintage review, the return of the denim jacket

The women’s denim jacket is an unbeatable must-have: perfect for spring or the early chill; let’s see how to style it

How to style the denim jacket

Fitted or oversized, the denim jacket always finds a way to enhance the look. The first unisex piece in history reveals itself once again as incredibly sexy in its original form, thanks also to Brad Pitt's styling in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the latest film by Quentin Tarantino. We can define it as the all seasons' must-have piece.

Vintage review, when basics become fashion

Young people have made it the flag of their taste and style since the 70s. The strong and powerful (stylish) image of Cliff Booth, played by super Brad Pitt, becomes an icon of the moment, a bridge between what was and what will be worn. Quentin Tarantino's film tells the myth of Hollywood and the stardom we can now savor through stylish detail. The look of 80s jeans hasn’t even faded: here, the jacket has a soft fit, visible rivets, and a sturdy canvas. If you like vintage, the perfect outfit is a total denim look, with coordinated jacket and high-waisted pants. For country-western style enthusiasts, the interpretation of jeans is soft, indispensable with stone washing.

We need to reach the 90s to see the first stretch models, ripped and even painted in psychedelic tones. The details reveal the grunge spirit of denim, making it an emblem for the younger generations. Masculine for feminine is a slightly older trend: we go back to 1961 when Marilyn Monroe wore a men's denim jacket in The Misfits by John Huston, definitively launching the unisex trend.

The 2024 models feature strong vintage influences: they draw on workwear or trucker cuts, with a straight and wide fit. These are all qualities that suit various silhouettes, also embracing the masculine-feminine play. The denim jacket remains a faithful companion for comfortable choices, the uniform of casual style. An eternal legacy of the Hollywood myth.

Total denim look: examples of outfits with the denim set

Women's collections for upcoming seasons speak loud and clear: let's dive into blue. It’s the categorical imperative seen in various treatments and shades on shoes, bags, fanny packs, hats, and other accessories. The coordinated outfit with a pop essence goes beyond the relaxed cuts of overalls and caftans and takes new life with cone bustiers, fitted jumpsuits, and blazer dresses. A tip for those who don’t want an overly emblematic total denim look is to choose a jacket with the same pattern but in a different color for a minimal and cool result.
