Do you feel like jean jackets are out of style?

Question

WhiteSteve · Accepted Answer

I have a couple, in light and dark washes. I haven’t worn them since before the pandemic, I’m kind of wondering what 20s style is going to be. Feel like we just transitioned to 2010, lmao, back at it again, yeesh. I suppose I don’t necessarily care, since style is often dictated by the young. My girlfriend and I were talking recently about how when we were teenagers and young adults, we thought older people wanted to be like us, that they were just jealous when they hated on our styles and music and all that stuff. And we were laughing because now we realize, NO, they did not want to be us, because we definitely don’t want to be like Gen Z kids (no offense to you young whippersnappers😜). When we clown on your stuff, we mean it😂 What we’re jealous of is your youth, but if we got it back, we’d go back to OUR stuff.

So I don’t know what the popular opinion is of denim jackets. I bought mine at Old Navy, which isn’t necessarily a bastion of fashion, but I think they’re good about keeping up with trends and adapting, as a very mainstream store. So if Old Navy has it on a mannequin, I feel like it’s safe. In 2018, they were doing that. 2022, I don’t know. I’d still wear it, I think. I always used them as a contrasting fabric when I wear chinos, and as the top layer of a layering scheme of jacket, flannel, t-shirt that I’d wear with said chinos in spring or fall. You of course want to avoid the “Canadian Tuxedo”, the jeans/denim jacket combo. Other than that, I think they’re fair play, I just don’t know that they’re necessarily TRENDY right now. But I’m starting to believe “in style” and “trendy” aren’t necessarily the same thing. And I feel like denim jackets are kind of iconic and timeless like their more popular cousin, jeans. Most people don’t dress with purpose, it seems, they just dress to not be naked, so it’s tough to say. I think style is a lot about how you rock it. I was hesitant to buy mine, I wasn’t sure they suited me. But I actually think they do, whereas another iconic clothing item, the leather jacket, just isn’t me.

Next time I’m at the mall I’m going to look at what they’re selling at places like Old Navy and The GAP, I feel like that’s a good barometer for general American fashion. They don’t always sell the trendy stuff the younger crowd likes, but I feel like those places wouldn’t sell something egregious. I personally think they can look good if worn right by the right person.

I actually have really strong feelings about this. As far as I'm concerned jean jackets look bad on everybody. EVERYBODY. Guy or girl. So to me, they've never been in style.

Now, I am not at all the type of guy who tries to influence what my girlfriend wears, or how she wears her hair etc. The ONLY time I have ever said "I really really hate when you wear that" was my ex's stupid-freaking jean jacket.

So the answer to your question is: "It doesn't matter. Jean jackets make anyone (objectively) less attractive!" 🙂

Vintage has been in for a while. Jean jackets fit that well, and will hopefully never be out of style. I love how durable they are and they have a great casual look

Horror_lover92 · Accepted Answer

At first I did, but this dress I bought looks so good with a short jean jacket. So I'm guessing it depends on what you're wearing.

A classic never goes out of style.

pass_the_celery98 · Answer

I don't follow fashion trends. Trends come and go and they reappear again because sometimes a young celebrity dawns an outfit Britney Spears wore during the 2001 MTV VMA's. Then the entertainment news makes a field day about it, it gets tossed around on social media and people start reading, listening, and following. Me personally, I love vintage shirts from the 90s and Air Jordan and Nike retros from the 90s and Levi's jeans. If someone has a problem with that, I don't care. I was walking in the mall a few days ago and I saw a nice Sherpa Levi's jean jacket and I thought to myself that would be nice to wear during fall when the weather is around 15 degrees (59 F) with some comfy joggers and Nike's.

Levin · Answer

They seem to be reasonably in style here, not that I have any comprehension of what is in style at the moment.

However, the main problem is how to wear them. Unless you want to do double denim, which I'm not a fan of.

Static_In_The_Attic · Answer

Like a lot of things they might be out of style one minute & the next minute the style is back in. My father growing up always had rips in his jeans from working & he would never throw them away. My mom would always tell him throw those fucking things away we’ll surprise surprise ripped jeans are in.

jshm2 · Answer

They never were in style.

Denim is one of those "working class" clothing types that will always be required. Sure, Levi and others try and reinvent it. But catwalks never feature denim as it's boring and pedestrian.

scarletssecret · Answer

Nothing is out of style until I say so for myself 😂 because I think that style shouldn’t wear you. You should wear the style. The confidence should radiate within out and you look good in the clothes not the clothes look good on you. 😉

andreasderjuengere · Answer

I think that there are two basic types of Jeans wearers.
If 'you' aren't a denim-person (also mentally), then Jeans will always look a little off on 'you'. I speak of ''REAL'' Jeans - which of course is a purposely biased opinion :) Compared with the 80's I see a lot (as in: a LOT) less of these jackets in public; that's obviously a sign that they aren't too popular any longer. But for the ''good old times'' I'd put one on; not caring if it's ''style'' or not.

OldSchool_Metalhead · Answer

Things come and go outta style. I don't roll with it I just wear what I like. I don't have a denim jacket but I have it as a vest

Wraith_Cemetery · Answer

Couldn't care less about what is "in" or not. I wear whatever the Hell I want. 1920s clothes, Victorian, Regency, 40s, 50s, et cetera.

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

I've never thought they were in style.. even when I bought one several years ago.. I gave it away to charity about 3 months after buying it.

StevieNix · Answer

Gurl Frenn,

Don't EVER follow the trends. I want you out in front SETTING the trends. Let the lemmings follow YOU. YOU make the rules, not the lemmings. Put on your jean jacket, and pink sunglasses, and hit the beach.

Jean jackets will never be outnof style. The silhouette of the jacket is what gets dated.

Th3ft · Answer

Not at all thankfully! Lol! I just hope that leather never goes out of style.

Blackcosmo · Answer

I don't follow trends or ever know what's in style lol. I just wear anything comfy. I'm not a fan of jean jackets and I also don't see them often so maybe they aren't in style anymore.

ArrowheadSW · Answer

I haven't thought about it. I have not owned one in decades. But now that you mention it, I used to like them! I should go out and get another one.

IJhonnyI · Answer

I wouldn't say it's out of style, at the end of the day depends cause Jean jackets are very cute on CERTAIN females

Reaper1985 · Answer

really depends on the style of the jacket itself and the overall outfit it's wore with. Demin clothing is typically more durable and jackets made out of it tend to have many pockets.
