The way to Replace Your Denim Jacket for Fall 2025
The primary jacket is one I discovered at EVEREVE, and it’s by one among my favourite clothes labels they carry—fabric & stone. It doesn’t have that conventional fitted trucker look that’s beginning to really feel slightly drained, but it surely nonetheless has the identical flattering, easy-to-style form. The zipper entrance offers it a contemporary twist with out dropping the traditional silhouette.
One of the best half about this jacket is, the material is definitely chambray, so it’s tremendous gentle and drapes superbly, particularly within the again. I additionally love the deep shade of blue. It’s polished, versatile, and really easy to fashion.
I styled it right here over a white v-neck tee and paired them with olive wide-leg crop pants which can be good for the transition season forward. I went with brown ballet flats and a brown belt to heat up the look, after which I added some jewellery—gold tone double hoop earrings, a beaded pendant necklace and my favourite brown tortoiseshell sunnies.
The opposite denim jacket I discovered is a nod to the woman jacket, achieved in a flexible medium wash. I’m carrying the medium right here, but it surely’s a bit roomy. Since taking these images, I’ve ordered the small, and it’s a a lot better match.

I styled this one with the identical olive pants, however for a special vibe, I swapped in a brown ribbed tank and chocolate brown Mary Janes with a contemporary cutout design.
I’m not often a Mary Jane fan, however one thing about these actually grabbed me. To tie the look collectively, I swapped in a darker brown belt to coordinate with my footwear and tank, and I carried my Clare V. woven crossbody (sadly offered out, however this one by Quince is a superb different.)
I ought to in all probability additionally converse to those under-$100 pants… They’re such a pleasant different to denims for informal outfits. The entrance patch pockets and trouser-style hem give them a completed look, which ties in completely with the denim developments this fall. (You’ll be able to learn extra about these developments in my 2025 Denim Tendencies Report.)
Each of those jackets are proof that denim jackets are removed from “out”. They simply wanted slightly refresh. I really like how each of those work with my olive pants, however they’d pair simply as simply with denims, skirts, or informal attire for fall.
