Denim Jacket Styles & Trends
Most fashions experience surges and drop-offs in popularity: Some peak quickly and then die a swift death like that brief moment when you knew someone who wore a tie with a T-shirt (may the universe have mercy on their wretched souls). Some styles come back around periodically, like cicadas waiting for their moment to emerge and terrorise a local farmer (see flares, cargo pants and, to a lesser extent, those vomitous parachute pants that you’d occasionally see around town ten years ago—MC Hammer has a lot to answer for). Some trends experience a few quick cycles of popularity and obscurity, but eventually settle and become part of the menswear furniture, and an important piece at that. Denim Jackets have established themselves as a firm stalwart of men’s style, and it would appear that they’re here to stay.
Are Denim Jackets Popular for Men?
Ryan Gosling, Ryan Reynolds, Danny Ramirez, Theo Cristine… All certified members of the Denim Jacket crew in 2025. So, yeah, denim jackets are popular for men. Not all denim jackets are the same, though. You’ve got options…
Classic Men’s Trucker Jackets
Perci’s Trucker Jackets are a classic Americana, slightly cropped, Willie Nelson picking a guitar, couple o’ breast pockets with classic detailing, open road-embracing icon.
Chore and Utility Jackets
Our Gove Chore Jackets are more softly spoken, understated, practical with three front pockets, like a quiet French painter who can convey more meaning with one brush stroke than you could with a hundred-thousand words. Clean lines and tonal topstitching make this one a layering supertool.

What to Wear with a Denim Jacket for Men
The only situation in which you’re wearing a denim jacket with nothing underneath is if you’re in a music video or the throes of a fairly serious life crisis. What should you pair a denim jacket with, then?
Mixing Colours & Textures
Denim is tough and durable, with an iconic smooth but sturdy texture. That makes it ideal for pairing with a smooth cotton T-shirt, or a textured linen shirt for contrast. With blue denim, sticking to monochrome tees or shirts will keep you right and will highlight the jacket itself.
Classic White Tee
We’re about to give you more options, but between us and you, a Classic White Tee will do the job perfectly every single time. Possibly the most classic men’s look fit of the late 20th Century and beyond. It’ll make you look like Bruce Springsteen effortlessly charming the locals in a launderette.
What Colour T-Shirts Best Compliment Denim Jackets?
White, to be honest, but, failing that, go black, monotonal, or something vaguely on the same side of the colour wheel as blue. Unless you’re wearing a black or grey denim jacket, in which case you have more leeway for colour experimentation.
Long Sleeve Shirts
Long Sleeve Shirts can transform a denim jacket fit into something a little more upmarket and classy. Follow the same colour guidelines as with a classic T-shirt, and don’t lay the collar outside of your jacket collar—you’re not Harry Hill.
Choosing the Right Footwear
Denim jacket styles are versatile and will accommodate most footwear. If you’re going for a classic white tee, a trainer will be fine. If you’re going for the long sleeve and collared option, perhaps opt for a smarter Shoe.
Men’s Denim Outfit Inspiration
Allow us to hit you with a little inspiration to get you started on your denim jacket journey.
Light Wash Blue Trucker
Arguably our most classic-looking denim jacket, the Light Wash Blue Trucker is a solid option for the old Canadian tux. The cropped cut shows off a quality pair of jeans superbly, so we’re suggesting you go bold and match like for like with Relaxed Fit Jeans and a classic white tee.
Dark Indigo Trucker
The Dark Indigo variation of our Trucker Jacket is the exact same design as its lighter brother, but is given a more formal feel due its darker, more subdued hue. Might we suggest pairing with a pair of Linen Everyday Trousers and smart Sebago Loafers?
Mid Wash Blue Chore
Chore jackets are a little more Jack-of-all-trades than their trucker cousins. They’ll look just as good as a trucker as part of a matching double-denim set, so for this particular Mid Wash Blue Chore Jacket, allow us to suggest pairing with a White Poplin Shirt and tie, and matching Mid Wash Jeans. Bit of a Tyler, The Creator vibe about it.
Dark Indigo Chore
This one looks equally as smart with a classic white tee or a Collared Linen Shirt. Maybe go for a lighter coloured shirt and trousers, with your Dark Indigo Chore providing tonal contrast.
Can You Wear a Denim Jacket with Jeans?
Go and ask your best Canadian mate and see what they say… Yes, of course you can. We fully encourage you to, in fact. Grab your favourite jacket and your best Jeans and get a proper strut going on the way out of the house.
Is It Okay to Wear Different Shades of Denim?
Matching shades is a no-brainer, but you can absolutely wear different shades. Honestly, there’s no quick and simple rule for this, just try out a few different combinations in the mirror and pick a pair that works together.

Finding the Perfect Denim Jacket with Percival
It’s best to have a denim jacket to fit whatever situation you might find yourself in. Dress for the occasion. Bruce Lee once said, “Be like water.” i.e. be adaptable, be malleable but powerful. And Bruce Lee was class.
How to Tell if a Denim Jacket is Good Quality
The devil is in the detail. You’re looking for clean stitching, sturdiness without being cumbersome, and strong seams. You’ll find all of that in Perci’s denim jacket collection.
How to Make a Denim Jacket Look Worn
Frankly, the only way to get authentic wornness or fading on a denim jacket is to wear it. That way, you essentially end up with a personalised jacket, worn in all the places your body and lifestyle naturally causes a bit of stress to the material. If you want a worn look straight from the off, you can try using diluted bleach, but we don’t recommend you do this with darker denim, lest you end up looking like a Friesian cow. You can also try leaving your jacket out in the sun, but, as we say, just wear your jacket regularly for best results.
How to Style an Oversized Denim Jacket?
Oversized denim jackets are having a moment in the sun right now (maybe the zeitgeist is trying to give them a slightly worn look). Oversized jackets give a slightly more informal feel and so you can have a bit more fun with the rest of your fit. Collared shirts and a variety of trousers will match just fine, as well as different tones of denim jeans.
How to Style a Cropped Denim Jacket?
Go for a slightly higher-waisted trouser or pair of jeans, since the cropped fit is going to show off the top of your legs and a bit of waist.
