The humble denim jacket might not be at the forefront of your mind when you’re looking for a jacket (especially if you’re wearing jeans every day), but the tried-and-true staple is a wardrobe workhorse. While some think that you can’t do the whole denim-on-denim thing, we’re all for it. Have a favorite maxi or jumpsuit? You can wear this jacket with that, too. It’s a piece that can be dressed up or down, especially considering J.Crew’s Jenna Lyons frequently wears one on the red carpet (with floor-length sequins and a cashmere sweater, if you’re keeping track). Need to throw something on when the chill hits at the Hollywood bowl? It’ll work there, too. A trip to Au Fudge? Yep. Basically, you can wear it anywhere, so it’s always good to have a few to choose from. We’ve got a wear-everywhere option that’ll get you where you need to go, day or night.
