Best denim jackets to carry you from Winter to Spring with RUSSH

The denim jacket is something of a wardrobe icon — the ultimate in trans-seasonal outerwear, tried and tested across decades and countless style evolutions. Whether faded, structured, selvaged, distressed, or cropped, the perfect denim jacket has staying power. It’s the kind of piece that only gets better with time, softening with wear and shaping itself to its owner. Versatile and enduring, it’s a reliable go-to during those in-between months when the weather can’t make up its mind.

At RUSSH, our approach to dressing is always grounded in wearability, with timelessness and intention at the fore. A well-curated wardrobe isn’t built overnight — it’s collected slowly, layer by layer, with thoughtful investment in pieces that will last. With essentials like denim jeans, leather jackets, wool layers and knitwear already covered, it felt only right to turn our attention to another foundational piece: the denim jacket.

Textural play, unexpected silhouettes, and tonal variation are what draw us in. We gravitate toward designs that bring something a little different — perhaps a sculptural sleeve, a faded wash, or an exaggerated collar. Styling-wise, a denim jacket is endlessly adaptable. It can be layered over a knit dress, worn with a matching pair of jeans for a bold double-denim moment, or thrown over a staple mini for a more playful take.

Some of the best denim comes from Sweden (unsurprisingly), and Acne Studios leads the way with clean cuts and offbeat edge. But we’re also spotlighting pieces from cult-favourite luxury labels like Jacquemus, alongside Australian standouts such as Lee Matthews and Scanlan Theodore — brands that understand the balance between practicality and polish.

So, as the seasons shift and winter roll in, consider this your guide to the best denim jackets to wear now — and love for many years to come.
