How Should a Denim Jacket Fit on a Woman?

How to Soften Denim Jacket Before Traveling

 

A brand new piece of denim will soften out as you wash and wear it. One thing to consider is that some cheap jean jackets for women can not only fit poorly but may not break in the easiest.

If you want to speed up getting your soft jean jacket, try using a fabric softener in the wash with it. But you’ll want to be careful to pay attention to your clothing’s washing instructions because the color can fade.

Some readers have heard that you can use vinegar instead of a fabric softener to speed up the process in your next wash, but we haven’t tried it out so use at your own risk!
