Pocketed Button Up Dropped Shoulder Denim Jacket | Black / S 100100967271678

Overview

A relaxed, denim-inspired button-front jacket with a dropped-shoulder silhouette and practical front pockets — designed to read like classic outerwear while feeling softer and more fluid than traditional cotton denim. This piece works as a lightweight top layer that dresses down tailored outfits or adds structure to dresses and knits.

Why you’ll love it

If you want the familiar cool of a denim jacket but prefer a softer hand and an easy, boxy fit, this style gives you both. It’s ideal for everyday wear, travel, and transitional weather when you need something comfortable to throw on over tees, hoodies or dresses.

Fabric advantages — Pros and cons

• Pros
  • Soft, drapey feel that sits comfortably over layers — comfortable all day.
  • Breathable and lightweight compared with traditional woven cotton denim.
  • Good color uptake and a smooth surface that dyes evenly for consistent wash tones.
  • Small synthetic content improves shape retention and reduces excessive wrinkling.
  • Easy to style — looks like denim with a softer, more forgiving silhouette.
• Cons
  • Less abrasion- and structure-resistant than classic cotton denim — won’t hold a rigid, “stiff” denim look.
  • May require gentler laundering to avoid shrinkage and loss of shape over time.
  • Synthetic content reduces breathability slightly compared with pure natural fibers.
  • Rayon-based fabrics can pill or show wear sooner in high-friction areas if handled roughly.
  • Not as warm as heavyweight denim for very cold conditions — better suited to layering.

Material deep dive: what the fibers mean for you

This jacket is made from a mostly regenerated-cellulose fiber with a bit of synthetic fiber blended in. Regenerated cellulose (commonly known as rayon or viscose) is prized for softness, absorbency and a fluid drape — it feels more like a lightweight shirt than a heavy jean. The small synthetic addition improves durability, reduces surface wrinkling and helps the jacket keep its shape during wear.

Practical takeaway: you get a garment that looks like denim but behaves like a soft, casual jacket — comfortable and flattering, but best treated with a little more care than rugged cotton denim.

How to measure this jacket (garment measurements — simple flat method)

Use a flat surface and a flexible measuring tape. Keep the jacket buttoned and lying flat.

1. Chest / Bust — measure straight across from seam to seam at the fullest part of the body (underarm area). Double that number to get the full circumference.
2. Shoulder width — measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back. For dropped shoulders, the seam will sit lower than the natural shoulder point; measure between the visible seams.
3. Top length — measure from the base of the collar (center back) straight down to the hem.
4. Sleeve length — measure from the shoulder seam (or the point where you want the sleeve to start if dropped) down to the cuff.
5. Pocket placement — measure from the top of the pocket to hem or from side seam to pocket edge if you need to confirm usability.

Note: flat measurements should be compared to the product listing measurements to choose the best size. If you own a similar jacket, use it as a direct reference by measuring it flat the same way.

How to measure yourself and pick the correct size

1. Chest — measure around the fullest part of your chest with tape parallel to the floor and your arms relaxed at your sides.
2. Shoulder — measure across the back from the outer edge of one shoulder bone to the other (or have someone help for accuracy).
3. Arm length — measure from the top of the shoulder (where the shoulder meets the arm) down the outside of the arm to your wrist.
4. Height & torso proportion — consider how cropped or long you like your jackets to sit; this style has a shorter top length and sits above the high hip for most silhouettes.
5. Compare & allow ease — compare your body measurements to the garment measurements (product page). Add a comfort allowance based on how you’ll wear it:
   • Fitted look: ~1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) of ease at the chest
   • Layered/casual look: ~3–6 inches (7.5–15 cm) of ease
6. If you’re between sizes — because there’s no built-in stretch, size up for layering and down for a more tailored appearance.

Model & fit reference

Photography for this style typically highlights its relaxed, boxy silhouette and shorter top length. On straighter body proportions the dropped shoulder creates an intentionally roomy, contemporary look; on curvier or petite frames it reads as slightly oversized. When viewing product images, note the model’s size and the fit callout (if available) as a visual guide — then confirm your choice with the garment measurements and ease guidance above.

Color and how to combine this jacket

Denim-inspired shades pair easily with neutral and color wardrobes. Here are easy combinations:

• Light wash / faded tones — pairs beautifully with white tees, floral dresses, pastels and neutral sneakers for a soft, casual look.
• Medium wash — the most versatile: try with black or navy trousers, chambray or contrasting denim (choose a different wash tone), or layered over knits and button-ups.
• Dark wash or black — lean into monochrome outfits, pair with leather-look bottoms or deep jewel tones for a sharper, elevated casual look.
• Styling accents — try belting through the jacket for a waist-defining silhouette, roll the sleeves for a relaxed vibe, or throw it over a midi dress for contrasts in texture.

Style profile

The dropped shoulder and boxier cut give this jacket an on-trend, relaxed street-inspired feel. It functions as:

• An everyday layer for weekends and travel;
• A soft alternative to structured outerwear for casual offices;
• A transitional piece that works well over lightweight knits and button-downs.

Seasons best suited for this jacket

• Best for spring and fall as a midweight layer.
• Good for cool summer evenings when you need a breathable, lightweight cover-up.
• Can be used in winter layered over sweaters and under coats, but won’t replace insulating outerwear in very cold climates.

Fit notes

• Designed with a relaxed, slightly boxy fit and a shorter top length — ideal for high-waist pants and layering.
• No added mechanical stretch — expect the garment to hold its shape without elastic recovery.
• If you plan to layer heavy knits underneath, consider sizing up to preserve comfort and movement.

Care tips & quick reminders

• Turn the jacket inside out before laundering to protect the surface and color.
• Use a gentle cycle and mild detergent; avoid chlorine bleach.
• Air-dry when possible to preserve shape and minimize shrinkage; if you must use a dryer, choose a low-heat setting and remove promptly.
• Low-temperature steaming or pressing (from the inside) smooths wrinkles without flattening texture.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

1. Spot clean first: for small marks, treat immediately with a damp cloth and a tiny amount of mild detergent.
2. Wash sparingly: frequent washing accelerates wear. Refresh between wears by airing out or gentle steaming.
3. Protect color: wash with like colors and turn the jacket inside out to reduce abrasion on the surface.
4. Dry thoughtfully: lay flat or hang to dry in shade; reshape while damp to maintain lines and length.
5. Repair & maintain: trim stray threads, remove pills with a fabric shaver, and reinforce seams early if you notice wear in high-stress spots.
6. Storage: hang on a broad-shouldered hanger to preserve shape or fold gently for compact storage; avoid prolonged direct sunlight to reduce fading.

Style tips — how to wear it

• Layer a slim turtleneck and high-waist jeans for a clean, put-together silhouette.
• Wear over a slip dress with ankle boots for a balanced feminine-casual outfit.
• Street-smart look: hoodie underneath, the jacket on top, and sneakers or chunky boots.
• Double denim: pair with jeans in a contrasting wash and add a neutral tee to avoid matching tones exactly.
• Office-casual: throw it over a button-down and tapered pants — swap sneakers for loafers to elevate the look.

FAQ

• Is this real denim?

  This reads like denim in style and finish but has a softer, more fluid construction than traditional cotton denim — giving the look without the stiffness.

• Does it stretch?

  There’s no engineered stretch built into the fabric; expect minimal natural give. If you want room for bulky layers, choose a larger size.

• Are the pockets functional?

  Front pockets are designed for everyday use — good for small essentials like a phone or keys. For valuables use a secure bag.

• Will it shrink?

  Rayon-rich fabrics can shrink if washed hot or dried on high heat. Follow gentle laundering and drying recommendations to minimize shrinkage.

• How do I keep the color vibrant?

  Wash inside out with similar colors, avoid prolonged sun exposure, and minimize harsh detergents and bleach.

• Can I wear it year-round?

  Great for spring and fall and useful on cool summer nights. For winter, layer it under a heavier coat or use it indoors as a casual top layer.

• What size should I pick if I want to wear thick sweaters?

  Size up to allow extra room through the chest and shoulders; the jacket’s design does not include stretch so extra ease is recommended for bulky layers.
