I’ve always appreciated the idea of a denim jacket; they’re timeless, versatile, and show up on every spring trend list without fail. In theory, they have all the makings of a closet staple I should be reaching for on repeat. But in practice? They’ve been missing from my wardrobe for a while.
Every season, I’d see a fresh wave of styles hit the racks, from cropped to oversized, and I’d think maybe this is the moment to incorporate something new into my closet. But somehow, they never felt quite right. Then came spring, and while curating pieces ahead of a trip to Singapore, I came across this cinched-waist denim jacket from Abercrombie that instantly caught my eye. It felt like the kind of piece I’d reach for often, and without overthinking it, I knew it had a spot in my suitcase.
On one of my first mornings exploring the city, I paired it with a flowy black maxi skirt, one of my favorite packing choices for the trip, and it felt like the easiest outfit formula. Equal parts relaxed and refined, the jacket gave the look just enough shape without overwhelming it. And since then, this pairing has quietly become my spring uniform. That’s the beauty of a good denim jacket: it anchors lighter pieces, plays well with proportions, and works as an effortless layer during those in-between weather days. Whether you’re dressing up a basic tank or throwing it over a sundress, it has a way of pulling everything together without trying too hard. I’ve linked the exact pieces here so you can shop the full look and make it your own this spring.
When it comes to finishing the look, the shoes make all the difference. A pair of ballet flats or kitten heels leans into the feminine feel, while classic white sneakers are perfect for keeping things casual for all-day exploring. If you're heading somewhere warm, sandals add the perfect spring touch. However you style it, this combo is easy to make your own, and I’ve linked a few favorites here to help you get started.
