A jean jacket has been a must have in your closet for several decades now. Looking back though, some of the 'hottest' trends are big oops in the fashion world. Taking a flashback look at the 80's, the popular embellished denim jackets are something that you would probably take a deep breath at. Though there have been some more modernized embellished denim jackets, they haven't been as big as a wow factor that the 80's have given us to remember. Now moving forward to the 1990's, the jackets are just as big of a oops as the 80's. Jean jackets tend to have shoulder pads which broaden the shoulders on male and female. And on females in particular, it makes them look very masculine which isn't a very positive feature. 1991 was a year to remember for denim- not only the jackets but even a denim DRESS!! Popular celebrities Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake showed up to the 2001 AMA's dressed in all denim. Now just let that sink in. A light denim look was very popular during the 2000's. Now today in 2013, we have taken these horrific looks of the past and added some modern features giving us denim clothing that we can bare to look at. A mid-waist cut is the common trend in female denim jackets today, and for male just above the butt is where the jacket sits. Dark denim is the most popular, but there are the few light washed and even acid washed items available if that's what you prefer. To sum this up, jean jackets are a classic and though we think we've evolved in the fashion world people are going to look back 30 years from now and wonder what were we thinking when designing those denim jackets?
