80s Acid Wash Embellished Jacket/Dress

Embellished Acid-Wash Denim Jacket with Studwork & Animal-Print velvet applique accents.

A standout piece of late-80s / early-90s. Statement denim, this jacket features a relaxed, straight-cut silhouette with strong shoulder structure and an intentionally oversized, slouchy drape through the body. Designed to be worn loose or belted, it delivers effortless power styling with unmistakable vintage attitude.

Crafted in acid-wash blue denim, the jacket is elevated by animal-print velvet accents across the shoulders, upper chest, and back. These introduce bold contrast and texture, giving the piece a custom, boutique-made feel rather than standard mass production. The accents are further enhanced with extensive gold-tone stud detailing, precisely placed to trace the panel lines and create a graphic, armour-like effect.

Additional embellishment includes faceted crystal-style rivets set into the animal-print, adding subtle light-catching detail and reinforcing the jacket’s high-impact, statement nature. The embellishment work is dense and deliberate, suggesting a premium, fashion-led design rather than casual denimwear.

The jacket features a classic point collar, press-stud front fastening, back vent and long sleeves designed to be worn cuffed or scrunched for relaxed styling. The overall cut is generous and versatile, making it ideal as a layering piece or styled as a denim shirt-jacket.

Has shoulder pads, but can easily be snipped out.
