The best denim jackets for spring 2024

RW&CO. Denim Jacket, $110

If you're looking for a denim jacket that's polished yet timeless, we love the stylish details on this one by Canadian brand RW&CO. The seams add dimension, the pocket placement is unexpected and the slightly cropped length is flattering on everyone. Stretchy cotton makes it a comfy piece for daily wear.

Dynamite Denim Trench Coat, $140

When it comes to fresh new ways to wear denim, it doesn't get much chicer than this trench coat. The belt nips the oversized style at the waist to create a flattering silhouette, and the lightweight cotton blend is lined for a luxurious feel.

For a playful take on the Canadian tuxedo, style it with a matching mini skirt.

Amazon Essentials Denim Jacket, $52

With classic details like flap pockets and flat-felled seams, this budget-friendly jacket is an easy way to add a laid-back vibe to your wardrobe. It comes in four colours, from a light wash to a medium indigo, but black denim is our go-to as it works for all seasons.

Reviewers love the true-to-size fit and the slight stretch of the material.

Penningtons D/C Jeans Belted Denim Jacket, $130

Available in sizes X to 5X, this casual jacket features four flap pockets, buttoned cuffs and a belt for an updated take on the classic denim style.

Reitmans Denim Overshirt, $70

Worn as a topper or as a button-up, the denim overshirt is the ultimate layering piece for spring. Our favourite way to wear it is to throw it on over a graphic tee or turtleneck for extra warmth. This one from Reitmans is made from soft, lived-in cotton that still retains its shape over time.

The soft sun-bleached blue hue pairs well with spring's trending colours, like red, spring green and lavender.

Gap Denim Blazer, $178

A denim blazer is the perfect laid-back addition to any workwear rotation. We love the fit of this Gap number. It's slouchy enough to hit the oversized trend while still tailored enough to stand the test of time. And it's made with 100 percent cotton, so it's a soft, quality piece you'll actually want to wear over and over again.

Joe Fresh Essential Denim Jacket, $59

If you're looking for a classic denim jacket, this is it. This 100 percent cotton style features all the details we know and love (sturdy flat-felled seams, metal buttons and flap pockets), and it comes in a medium wash that looks perfectly lived-in. The fit is oversized, which is perfect for layering over thick sweaters on chilly days.

Everlane The Denim Barrel Jacket, $206

This coat's barrel silhouette (which is the hottest denim trend of the moment btw) features clean lines and rounded shoulders for a cool-girl relaxed fit. It also comes in white and brown.

It's made with 100 percent organic cotton, which uses less water and less pesticides than traditional cotton.

Twik Cargo Pockets Loose Denim Jacket, $120

The military-inspired pockets steal the show on this slouchy zip-up denim jacket. The inside is lined with satin, so it's easy to slip on and off and it won't cause pilling on delicate materials like wool and cashmere.

Buffalo Jeans Teagan Boxy Denim Jacket, $109

Consider this an updated take on the iconic trucker jacket. The cropped fit and large pockets give this indigo wash jean jacket fresh and playful proportions. It's made with thick 100 percent denim, so it will keep its structure through daily wear.

Pro tip: Wear it unbuttoned for a more casual vibe.

Not feeling the blue denim? This pretty camel shade is a great option for minimalists. It's the perfect overshirt to wear through spring, with a relaxed fit and a raw hem that keeps things interesting.

Paodikuai Oversized Denim Coat, $59

An oversized shirt in a black acid wash instantly gives any outfit a cool, edgy ’90s vibe. We're fans of the structured fit and large flap pockets, which are roomy enough to fit all your daily essentials.

Contemporaine Jean Jacket, $125

Pink has been trending for so long that it's officially verging into neutral territory, so you can pair this lightweight denim coat with just about anything in your wardrobe. It's made with two percent spandex for improved stretch and comfort, and it will put the finishing touch on any cute errand day look.

Yoga Jeans Oversized Denim Overshirt, $76

We love this monochrome matching set by Canadian denim brand Yoga Jeans, which is made from thick, high-quality cotton. The cropped jacket can be dressed up or down.
