It’s the time of year to bring out those jean jackets because it’s too warm for a giant parka that looks like a sleeping bag (IYKYK). Enter the jean jacket. I’m wearing them over just about everything to go just about everywhere: Dates, brunch, the grocery store and even my couch. They’re definitely the most versatile pieces in my closet, and for good reason — jean jackets are a classic wardrobe staple that you’ll hold onto forever.
Here are the jean jackets that you’ll wear over everything this season and beyond:

That’s the same feeling I get from this jacket because it’s absolute perfection and definitely something you’ll wear forever and want to pass down. This jean jacket is that good.
Tobi Shirley Light Wash Distressed Cropped Denim Jacket, $68
I ordered this jacket a few weeks ago and wasn’t sure how I felt about it. Was it too distressed? Was it too oversized? I wasn’t sure, but then I wore it out to run errands and was stopped by half a dozen people. I even DM’d one girl the link. Go ahead and add this to your cart now. I’ll wait.
