10 Denim Jackets That Will Make You Look Extra Cool

(SPOT.ph) Fun fact: the word "denim" is from the French "serge de Nîmes" which means "sturdy fabric from Nîmes," a type of textile made in Nîmes, France. So not only does denim add cool points to almost any look, it'll also last you a long time thanks to the durable material.

It's safe to say the denim jacket has remained a staple since the 1900s because it's so versatile. You can wear it with virtually anything—from your must-have basics like a plain white tee down to even your more leveled-up looks like a dress or a jumpsuit. Even denim-on-denim isn't unheard of. So it's a good idea to invest in a classic jean jacket to wear with a variety of outfits—it'll never go out of style, and it will always add instant cool.
