Oh, and by the way—all of the below would look great with any of these gorge skirts, ankle boots or these stunning knee-high boots. Just sayin’.
Show up to the function in this cropped pick, and you'll instantly give off main character vibes.
Skip the neutrals and opt for a pink shirt jacket! It's fun enough to work with just about any simple ensemble and will def stand out in a sea of blue denim jackets.
Rave Review: "Love this and the color is super cute!" (Heads up, it runs large!)
The roomy sleeves and cinched waist gives this jacket a tailored, elevated vibe, perfect for layering over a floaty summer dress, a romantic fall skirt, or even denim pants.
Round of applause for this sherpa-lined bb, which is most likely going to become your new fave layering essential. The oversized fit and padded look is just too good (and comfy).
You'll be the chicest cowgirl in this unique 2-in-1 jacket dress. The wild fringe just says, "hello, I've arrived!" Doesn't it?!
Bomber jackets are effortlessly cool but this contrasted denim style just took it to a whole other level.
This cropped style is takin' me back! Loving the '90s vibe of this one. I'm definitely here for the monogram print and dropped shoulders, too. If you wanna be matchy-matchy, then you actually need these pants. You're welcome!
This jean jacket is a must-have. Why? The length is perfect, you can dress it up or down, and the raw hem is just *chef's kiss*
Rave Review: "Super soft and love that it has stretch. Not restricting like your typical denim jacket. Great length!"
Oh, hey cool gal. Don't forget to throw on your darkest shades after you put on this puff-sleeve number.
Rave Review: "Great jacket. Comfy and no bad denim smell! Also love the "inside" pockets."
An extremely dark denim blazer is just so sleek. And paired with some wide-leg pants, you’ve got yourself a simple yet sophisticated look for the day.
Waitttt. Wanna know what would be a total moment?! You in this jacket, corset top, and matching jeans.
Ya know what, we'll just let this rave review speak for itself...
Rave Review: I normally wear a small in Everlane tops and an XS in their re-new quilted puffer jackets but I got this in a medium and love the oversized fit. The top pockets are huge but perfect for my phone and wallet. Side pockets are nice too. The denim is sturdy and thick. Perfect for layering underneath. If you get your normal size you could probably layer nicely on top. Overall this is made really well.
Finally, denim you can wear to work. This puff-sleeve option is tailored to perfection and the medium wash gives it a chill-yet-professional vibe. Oh, and that collar and cinched detail is everything.
This versatile style comes in a sophisticated cream color and soft cotton fabric, and a straight cut that's not too boxy or fitted. It's an ideal piece for a killer monochrome outfit, too!
Add some extra interest to all your fave 'fits with this lightweight, belted, maxi denim jacket. You'll adore the relaxed silhouette on this medium wash style.
Rave Review: "I LOVE this jacket when I put it on! It's LONG, down to my low calf/ankle. I feel like I'm in the matrix, except with denim. So striking and stylish. I sized up because the sleeves on my real size were tight, so now I can wear more bulky tops under it. Many people have a denim jacket but this is more like a coat, and you should have this, too."
Let’s be honest, it’s nearly impossible to find that just-right, not-too-worn-out vintage jacket. So there’s no shame in buying a new version that checks all the boxes! Save yourself the time and stress of scouring thrift stores by opting for this faded one.
Rave Review: Best jean jacket ever! It's the most comfortable denim jacket I've ever had. Plus, the sleeves are long and actually fit my long arms!!! The fit is perfect; there's a bit of room but still fits close to body. Buy it!"
Rock this relaxed, dual-tone jacket that has an effortlessly cool color-block pattern and removable belt.
You'll get lots of wear out of this high-quality, transitional piece meant to be styled over and over again.
If you're on the hunt for a v glam jean jacket, this stunner with rhinestone-embellished fringe is a complete win. This bestselling cutie also comes in a chic black and white.
Rave Review: "This is quite honestly the pride and joy of my wardrobe," writes one reviewer. "I accidentally broke off one of the rhinestone fringes and wanted to cry and buy a second one to keep safe forever. Sounds dramatic but I love this jacket so much."
This may be the one I add to cart myself. It's a total masterpiece! I mean, look at the fuzzy faux sherpa lining (so cozy), the suede trim (so trendy), that frayed hem (so edgy), and that shawl collar (so chic): it's hard to pick a fave detail on this super-unique option.
