All it took to make the denim jacket hot again was a slimmer and higher cut, and presto!—the workwear jacket made its return. Gone are the days of bulkiness or crazy Looney Tunes patches. This new generation of denim jackets can be either worn with a tie or a simple white T-shirt. Like your favorite pair of jeans, the jacket will fade and mold to the contours of your body over time. Though of course, pre-faded or pre-frayed styles are popular as well.

On its rise to popularity, this classic piece of Americana has been spotted on your favorite celebrities. Worn in many different styles and different brands from Balmain to Levi's to Wrangler, we’ve

compiled a gallery of Celebrities Wearing Denim Jackets.
