Utility jackets ruled the racks in 2019. I had and loved them!! Pair them with skinny jeans, boots, and a fedora, and you had my favorite outfit! Times have changed so let’s talk about how to update your utility jacket outfit. With a few easy swaps we can have the same outfit but fresh for 2025! If you haven’t seen, I have been posting these fun reels on my Instagram too!
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!
