A denim jacket is a tried-and-true staple (opens in new tab)that deserves its rightful space in every closet. I'm not afraid to admit that I have a rotating collection of jean jacket styles (opens in new tab), from a cropped trucker to a dark acid-wash to a oversized light wash. A jean jacket is that piece. The one so versatile that it isn't tucked away when seasons change and can adapt into new looks as your style evolves. Add a classic blue-wash over your shoulders on a summer night to combat the blasting A/C, layer your favorite knits under an oversized loose-fitting jacket for an effortlessly cool fall look, or go with bright denim and coordinating pants for a monochromatic outfit. While we may never reach the denim heights of Britney and Justin circa 2001 (opens in new tab), we sure can try. Ahead, 15 of our favorite denim jackets that will soon be your new forever favorite.

Denim and Leather
Swap out your over-worn blazer for a structured denim jacket. The tailored silhouette will instantly give your outfit an elevated yet laid-back feel.

Wear The Classics
When you have nothing to wear, lean on wardrobe staples. Pair a white mini dress with a pair of semi-sheer tights and a light wash jean jacket. These classic pieces will never fail you.

Levi Ex-Boyfriend Trucker Jacket

Denim and Mesh
You likely already own this timeless silhouette, so give this no-fuss denim jacket a more edgy feel. Layer a sleek mesh bodysuit over a bralette and dig out a vintage mini-skirt for a head turning denim-on-denim look.

With A Skirt
For a casual but still put-together look, grab your favorite A-line skirt and pair it with a cropped denim jacket to break up the length.

UTNISAN Oversized Jean Jacket

Matchy Matchy
Don't shy away from color. Instead, find a monochromatic set that will make a statement. Wear a bright denim jacket with matching jeans for a off-duty summer look.

Keep it simple with a timeless white tee. When the transition from winter to spring feels like a drag, you'll have this classic denim to look forward to—always.
