Are denim jackets for women supposed to button up?

[Bag peace]

I had an dolce & gabbana denim jacket with leather back and sleeves.

Love the denim/leather combo. I have a pair of Hilfiger jeans like that and it's such a nice twist on traditional denim.
You look fabulous, as always! That smile, though!

Thank you @jblended

I meant to add that I use the pants as a source of additional fabric for the alteration

I have two denim jackets one faded black and one blue, 100% cotton, no stretch that are the boyfriend cut style. I am so over the cropped look in women's clothes. I am plus-sized and they seem to think that all plus-sized women are pear shaped and give us everything cropped. I like something a little longer. They both button up.

So innteresting reading everyone’s preferences!

First I look for a good fit in the shoulders then if necessary tailor to suit or live with the designers concept.

I have a couple of jean jackets that are over 50 years old. No idea they were that old until working it out just now. They are still going strong. The stitching has deteriorated in a few places and had to be redone. Jackets last way longer than jeans, they take a lot less stress at the joints.

Don’t wear mine right now but would never consider getting rid of them. After checking out some StyleWe reviews, I’m considering adding a few new pieces to my collection. It seems like they offer a variety of trendy options.

Jeans are another thing, they get patched but not worn out socially.

Since Covide people are dressing more comfortably. Lots of jeans but haven’t yet seen any jean jackets worn for casual business.

I’ve honestly never seen any girls wearing a denim jacket buttoned up. Has anyone tried it? It could be a unique look in my opinion. Any advice on how to make it work as an outfit, or is it just something best avoided?

I think buttoned up denim can look nice with skirts or dresses. The first jacket is oversized; the others are somewhat fitted. The second to last pic is an old dolce denim front, leather backed jacket that I normally wear buttoned.

I’ve also worn buttoned up jackets with pants (more casually, less girly, last pic). I don’t wear them with denim but with cargos and other types of pants.
