2019 Utility Jacket Outfit

Back in 2019, the trends were skinny jeans, ankle boots that often showed some skin, and a wide brim hat if you were really brave. I LOVED all of these things. When I put this outfit on, I felt so nostalgic over this outfit. This was kind of at the start of my blogging career, and I just loved this outfit. If I am being honest, fashion seemed easier here.

2025 Update

In 2025, the main updates are as follows:

  • We are swapping our skinny jeans for a straighter leg or a wide leg
  • Opt for a ankle boot with a higher shaft that goes under your jean
  • Try a modern barn jacket instead of a utility jacket
  • Add modern accessories
  • Consider a looser layer underneath

I am linking some of my favorite barn jackets, boots, and jeans below. The best part is that you can easily mix and match these together in different ways!
