One of my main goals this year is to help you stretch your wardrobe by showing you multiple ways to wear items you already have in your closet. Some of us just hate to shop or don’t have the budget, but still want our wardrobes to look new and fresh. This was really apparent when I polled you babes on stories yesterday. You voted that you really wanted to see new ways to style a jean jacket.
With spring right around the corner which means breezy days, I totally understand the need to get extra use out of your jean jacket. But, I was actually surprised when some of you flat out said that you don’t even have one because you’re not sure how to style it or that it won’t look cute on you. Believe me, there’s a jean jacket for EVERYONE!
Below I’m showing you four different jean jackets. One is cropped, one is a thinner material with a darker wash. One is a light wash fitted jean jacket. And, the last one is an oversized distressed style. If you have a jean jacket already, chances are you probably have one of these. So, I’m hoping that will help me cover all the bases. Hoping and praying lol.
I’m going to show you 40+ ways to style a jean jacket (with all four jackets), but honestly, there’s even MORE ways! Let me know how you guys like these and if the verdict is a thumbs up, I will do a part two that will include how to style a jean jacket with shorts , slacks, and even swimwear.
Here’s 40+ Ways To Style A Jean Jacket
With Leggings
Whether they are faux leather leggings or yoga pants, leggings are the easiest thing to wear with a jean jacket. Add an oversized top or flannel around your waist to cover your booty, if you choose to. Dress it down with sneakers or add mules to kick it up a notch.
With Jeans or Pants

You could match your jean jacket to jeans with a similar wash, but I prefer wearing a solid color jean or pant, or one with a pattern. To me, that helps make my jean jacket stand out more. White and black jeans always work and so do faux leather pants, but you could also wear a pattern like leopard or floral (whatever your fave print is). Change up your shoes according to the occasion.
With Skirts

Doesn’t matter if it’s a faux leather skirt, a faux suede skirt, or a maxi skirt, skirts just work really well with jean jackets. You can pair them with a basic tee, tank, cami or tunic for an effortless outfit. Best part is any style shoe or sandal will work with this look!
With Rompers & Jumpsuits

Jean jackets are a perfect pairing with rompers and jumpsuits because they’re an easy layering piece for any season. Add a waist belt for added interest and to accentuate the smallest part of your waist (which would otherwise disappear behind the jacket).
With Dresses

Just like rompers and jumpsuits, jean jackets are a great layering piece over a dress. Doesn’t matter if it’s a short dress or a maxi, a jean jacket just works! Add a belt here too!
And there it is, friend! I just showed you 40+ ways to style a jean jacket. Although there really are so many ways to style one, this is a good starting point. If you already own a jean jacket, I encourage you to try some of these looks. You’d be surprised how many outfits you can create!
