What to Wear With a Jean Jacket

A classic mid-wash jean jacket is the one to own first. It sits right at the hip, works in every season and makes even the simplest outfit look considered.

Throw it over a long black slip dress for an easy contrast between soft and rugged. Roll the sleeves once so the outfit feels relaxed, not stiff.

Black ankle boots keep it grounded and practical. The cool blue wash against black is a timeless pairing that never feels dated.

A light-wash jean jacket feels fresh and relaxed. The pale blue brightens dark outfits and looks especially good in spring and early fall.

Layer it over a soft cream sweater with black skinny jeans. Choosing black jeans instead of blue keeps the denim-on-denim from looking matchy.

Clean white sneakers tie in with the cream knit and keep the whole look easy. It’s a simple formula you can repeat all season.

A loose-fit jean jacket is the perfect cover-up for summer dresses. It has a little extra room, so it slips on over anything and gives sweet, girly pieces a cool edge.

Wear it open over a floral mini dress with the sleeves pushed up. The relaxed shape contrasts with the short, flowy dress and shows off your legs.

Flat tan sandals and a few delicate necklaces keep the look soft and summery. A pale, bleached wash looks freshest with pastels.

A darker, deeper wash looks a little smarter than light denim. It holds its shape well and creates a crisp contrast with white.

A simple white linen mini dress is the easiest partner. The dark jacket frames it and makes the outfit feel polished without trying.

White sneakers keep it comfortable for a day on your feet. Add a fine necklace and small earrings for a clean, fresh finish.

A cropped jean jacket is the easiest way to dress denim up. Because it stops at the waist, it shows off high-waisted trousers and keeps your legs looking long.

Pair it with a black satin cami and tailored black trousers. The casual denim against silky, sharp pieces makes the outfit feel modern and effortless.

Pointed black pumps finish the look and make it evening-ready. Push the sleeves up a little to show your wrists and keep things light.
