While the classic denim jacket is beloved for its crisp lines and timeless style, Millennial-targeted brands are launching [remixed versions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bold-denim-collections-levis-and-adsb-andersson-bell-join-forces-to-reimagi) of this [wardrobe staple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-denim) in the hopes of catching the eyes of fashion-forward consumers.

Miss Selfridge's 'Ruffle Denim Jacket' is a prime example of this, as it introduces a classic-looking denim jean jacket in a light bleach wash with the addition of prominent ruffle detailing along the front of the garment. The effortless denim garment is 100% cotton and machine washable.

Just as the classic denim jacket may be dressed up or dressed down, the Ruffle Denim Jacket has the ability to go from day to night, all the while offering a refreshing take on the must-have closet item.
