I’ve spotted this wardrobe staple everywhere at Paris Fashion Week - here’s where to buy it
It's a classic for a reason


In case you were wondering whether you still need a denim jacket in your life, then the stylish industry experts and influencers in attendance at Paris Fashion Week have just confirmed it: yes, yes you do.
Fashion month is almost over, and each sartorial capital has given us plenty of new season wardrobe inspiration, from pink at New York Fashion Week to red at London Fashion Week and butter yellow in Milan.
When it comes to Paris, you can always trust the street style set to elevate the mundane, and this season is no exception, with the spotlight firmly on the humble denim jacket.
The long-time wardrobe staple is getting an upgrade this season thanks to surprising new colourways, textures and cuts.
In Paris, I saw plenty of Spring/Summer 2025-friendly hues such as mint green (seen at the Ganni show) and beige. When it comes to the more classic washes, rich indigo or greys and blacks are the way forward.
Style-wise, there are two camps to fall into this Summer: the relaxed, oversized fit and the cropped, fitted one.
As for stylistic details, rips are out, and studs, stripes, patterns and tie dye are in.
