Are Denim Jackets not 'In' anymore?

52 replies

KissTheRains · 08/01/2024 19:35

I've broad shoulders and would like a fairly simple old school Denim Jacket to wear with a nice top or a crisp button up shirt under with some nice necklace to distract from my rugby player shoulders...

Is it not a thing anymore? A bad idea?

I looked all over MK today.. I know MK is the height of cool.. 😁

Any suggestions? Budget up to £2.50 and a Marathon bar... or £100 which ever.

Literally loads ..

I'm pretty sure they were last 'in' in 1994

Takeitonthechin · 09/01/2024 09:08

Yes they are still in, they are new in on some of the clothing sites

Indeed. Thanks for the link.
Any idea which have broader shoulders?
I struggle to tell online how they'll fit.
I could just order a few hundred quids worth and return the ones that I don't like I suppose, seems a faff though.

If there is a next bear you , order them in on account of. Collect / try on and return what you don't want there and then .

They do a fuller chest one in the summer which might work for you . Not sure if it's in that link .. next are generous for sizes anyway and stretchy

This one is for fuller bust so bigger across the front . It's also stretchy ( I work there and this is a best seller in the summer )

adultsizedogbed · 09/01/2024 09:50

Put that code in the search box

Ditto! 😂

They never go out! Vintage is probably easiest though, Levi's from eBay or vinted. Otherwise you might need to wait a bit. They're more of a spring /summer thing

Malbecmoron · 09/01/2024 10:01

I got a lovely one from COS a couple of years ago. I also have a couple from the early nineties that I sometimes wear.

Searching.by a product code.. that's like a life hack / super secret employee thing.. awesome.. and a nice jacket..

I think this is one that's being ordered. 😁
Thank you.

It’s the middle of winter so you won’t see many in the shops.

adultsizedogbed · 09/01/2024 12:52

@KissTheRains you are welcome.. let me know if it works for you as I do like to be able to recommend items that work ✅

CointreauVersial · 09/01/2024 22:33

They are out of season! My own denim jacket is in the loft right now, and there won't be many in the shops until the Spring.

But that doesn't mean they are out of fashion.

equinoxprocess · 09/01/2024 22:46

Lots of the shops you listed flogged all last year's denim jackets in the Christmas/new year sales. You're a fortnight too late.

If denim jackets are for summer, what's for winter?

Mirabai · 09/01/2024 23:46

Try a fitted one with a waist.

MaidOfSteel · 10/01/2024 00:29

Denim jackets are a 'perma-trend' so they'll never not be in. 😁

RobertaFirmino · 10/01/2024 02:50

Get a cheap, second hand denim jacket and if you like the look then upgrade to a Levi's at some point. They always look good and last for donkey's years.

Ha ha, those were the days. The beauty of the denim jacket is that it never goes out of style, same with a good quality leather one. All the best in your search!

sunr111se · 10/01/2024 06:53

Fat face always have them! Although it's slightly the wrong time of year; wait a little bit for the spring season things to come in.

Floisme · 10/01/2024 08:18

I can't remember a time when they weren't around but they still change. My current one is quite oversized, the previous one was shorter and much more fitted, the one before that a very pale wash, etc etc,

allthevitamins · 12/01/2024 20:31

How did you get on OP?!

MalcolmTuckersSwearBox · 12/01/2024 20:36

They'll definitely be back in spring/summer, they're a classic. It's too deep into the winter season at the mo for them to be in the shops right now.

FayCarew · 12/01/2024 20:59

ebay or vinted
