Boyfriend?Washed Cropped Denim Jacket
A short, boxy jean jacket with a vintage?inspired boyfriend wash and a deliberately cropped hem that finishes at the waist. The relaxed, slouchy shoulders and slightly dropped armholes give it that borrowed?from?the?boys look, while the cropped length keeps it modern and playful. Traditional details such as the button front, point collar and chest pockets remain.

The denim is a rigid cotton that will break in beautifully over time, softening with each wear and developing a unique fade pattern along the creases. The boyfriend wash is characterised by a sun?faded, slightly uneven tone that looks as if it has been a favourite for years. The cropped length is designed to sit at the natural waist or high hip, making it an ideal partner for high?rise jeans, maxi skirts and dresses. Machine wash cold inside out and line dry to preserve the wash and prevent excessive shrinkage. The rigid denim may feel a little stiff at first, but it will relax and conform to your body with wear. The metal buttons are a tarnished silver or brass tone, complementing the vintage feel. The chest pockets are functional and the side pockets are set into the side seams, lying flat when not in use. For the best fit, check the size chart and consider your shoulder and bust measurements; the boxy cut is meant to be wide and short, so if you are between sizes you might prefer the smaller size to avoid overwhelming the frame. This jacket is an excellent layering piece for spring and summer evenings. Throw it over a bodycon dress and trainers, or pair it with a tank and relaxed jeans for a cohesive off?duty look. The dropped shoulders accommodate a light knit underneath, so it can transition into early autumn. The hem is finished with a clean stitch, not raw, which keeps the look slightly polished despite the relaxed wash. The collar sits neatly and the button cuffs can be adjusted. The light wash pairs particularly well with white, cream and pastel colours. Over time, the denim will soften and fade further, telling the story of your adventures. A charming, laid?back jacket that injects a dose of retro cool into any outfit.
