Sure, we all know what wardrobe essentials for work professional women are supposed to have in their closets, but if you’re buying one for the first time or replacing one you’ve worn into the ground, it can be a pain to find exactly the right incarnation in stores. In “The Hunt,” we search the stores for a basic item that every woman should have.
Denim blazers are having a moment, and I’m glad about that — I’ve always liked them as a nice bridge between business casual and conservative attire, as well as a lightweight jacket in the fall or spring.
Historically, I’ve mostly worn my denim blazers with non-denim pants like black trousers — but denim suiting is having a big moment, and so are all denim outfits in general. (The term “Canadian tuxedo” is sometimes used for “double denim” looks in general, but in my mind it’s just for when blue jeans are worn with a traditional jean jacket, either by a man or a woman… but maybe that’s me!)
For less traditional takes on the denim jacket trend, do check out Akris, McQueen, Dries van Noten, Balmain, Sportmax, Free People, Rebecca Taylor, maje, (Kind of love this one from Thom Browne but the styling is so odd!)
There’s also a lot of suiting out there that looks like denim but is made of other fabrics. Check out Boden, Universal Standard, and White House Black Market to get an idea of the trend.
Readers, what are your thoughts — are you hunting for a denim blazer this year? Are you open to wearing denim suiting to work?

The Best Denim Blazers in 2025
Cinq à Sept
Cinq à Sept has a bunch of sleek denim blazers right now — there are peplum styles, short-sleeved blazers, and more. For purposes of this post, we’re featuring their classic Khloe blazer as done in denim, but there are a bunch of other options. It’s $395 at Nordstrom.
Paige
I typically think of dark rinse denim as being best for denim blazers, but this sharp blazer from Paige is making me rethink that. It’s $380 at Nordstrom.
Wit & Wisdom
If you’re looking to try the trend, this cropped denim blazer from Wit and Wisdom is nicely priced at $148.
The Best Denim Suiting in 2025?
I’ll admit, I couldn’t decide whether this post should be about denim blazers or denim suiting… personally I think a denim blazer is a lot more wearable (black pants!) than a denim suit, which feels simultaneously too dressy for a business casual office and not dressy enough for a more formal office. For my money, the best uses for these suits is as separates (because I also am a fan of denim trousers). But that’s just my $.02… and in fact there are a ton of denim suits out there for women. Some of our favorites are below…
Brooks Brothers
You know it’s reached a certain saturation point when even Brooks Brothers is hopping on the trend. This is the second denim blazer of the year, I also noticed this floral one (now out of stock, sadly) earlier this year.
Both the blazer and the trousers are on sale for 50% off.
Ann Taylor
In fairness to Ann Taylor, they have this in their “weekend” section instead of with their other suits, but still. I like the collarless take on the denim jacket, and the matching “darted waist trouser jeans” are nice also.
Talbots
We’re featuring the pants suit here, but if you find yourself hunting for a dress suit in denim, do check out Talbots — they have a matching below-the-knee sheath dress for the jacket.
All of the pieces are available in regular, petite, plus, and plus petite sizes; the denim jacket is marked down from $189 to $140 today.
Readers, what are your thoughts — will you be hunting for a denim blazer or denim pants suit this fall?
