With the weather warming up, students have brought back their spring wardrobes including one spring staple: denim jackets. Worn for warmth, comfort, or both, these jackets give rise to trend all their own.

Denim is generally known for its use in jeans. However, it’s moving its way on up, literally.

A classic denim jacket has unique perks, including button style and pockets. Some also include snaps, allowing the wearer to decide how much they wish to reveal.

With the spring weather being so unpredictable, a denim jacket can be a savior.

“Denim, no matter the color,” senior Kervin Browner II said. “Always keep it denim for the spring season.”

While men and women both wear the jackets, each gender has a distinct style. Men tend to wear the classic straight-fitting jacket used for function. Women, on the other hand, tend to wear shorter and more fitted jackets used more for fashion.

Like denim jeans, jackets come in a variety of washes and take versatility to a whole new level.

The most common is a medium-washed jacket. This allows it to be paired with a variety of things, including jeans and even dresses.

Darker washes tend to be worn in the fall, while light washes are usually found in the summertime.
