I'm Seeing Every Chic Fashion Person Wear This Basic Again
Introducing a wardrobe staple that's remained relevant but recently came back into the spotlight in a big way: the denim jacket. It's one of those timeless pieces that never go out of style but can easily get worn the wrong way. For a few years, the only denim jacket I saw felt outdated, but recently, it’s gotten a lot of love from the fashion crowd, who have styled it in luxe ways. The other day, as I browsed through my FYP on TikTok, it dawned on me that my favorites to follow for fashion inspo are once again embracing jean jackets, much like the resurgence of bomber jackets that happened previously.
Thanks to its versatile nature and ability to complement a wide range of casual outfits, a jean jacket is a true wardrobe staple. If you already own one, great! But if you're looking to refresh your wardrobe or finally add a stylish jean jacket to your collection, I've rounded up the best options for you below. You'll also find some styling inspiration if you're interested. Enjoy.
Style Tip: Button a lightweight denim jacket all the way up as an alternative to a top with a stylish slip skirt.
Style Tip: A relaxed jacket is effortless when teamed with a coordinating skirt or shorts.
Style Tip: Go for the classic look with a denim jacket, a button-down shirt, and white jeans.
Style Tip: A denim jacket adds an extra layer of dimension to this cute look with the white dress and sneakers.
Style Tip: Drape a jacket over your shoulders for a laid-back silhouette.
