A jean jacket might not be the most avant garde item of clothing, but it is an iconic piece of American fashion. It’s the perfect light, transitional jacket for spring! We found some versions with special details like rhinestone buttons, utilitarian details, and practical pockets. Shop our favorites below.
There are so many things I love about the ME + EM jean jacket I’m wearing in the header image. The darker indigo shade, the slightly cropped length, the large, practical pockets. But the best part? The crystal flower buttons! It adds so much extra oomph to the piece. Some of the smaller sizes are already sold out, so if you want one make sure to snap it up right away!
But don’t worry, there are plenty of other fabulous options to choose from. Tuckernuck is one of our favorite places to shop for statement pieces that won’t break the bank, and their jean jacket selection doesn’t disappoint! The Ripley jacket has a lighter wash, perfect for warmer days, and I love the swing-y shape of it. There’s gold buttons and a perfect amount of slouch in the sleeves. The Nehru collar is a fabulous touch, too.
If you’re looking for a more classic option, there’s still a lot to pick from. Frame’s Patch Pocket denim jacket checks off all the boxes: a dark wash, slightly cropped length, and fitted-but-not-too-fitted silhouette. Anine Bing’s jacket has that timeless, worn-in, vintage look that’s borrowed from the boys. And of course, you can count on a jeans brand to have a perfect jacket. Paige’s Rowan jacket is the slim-fitting, mid-wash jacket you probably think of when you think of ‘jean jacket’ – but with just enough of a modern touch.
