10 Outfit Ideas That Will Change the Way You Look at Jean Jackets

Denim jackets are the MVPs of essential outerwear. They're an all-season, all-weather staple that manages to be both timeless and trendy, plus jean jackets just go with everything. Because they're so versatile, ways to wear and style jean jackets are constantly evolving. Plus, celebrities are constantly finding new ways to wear them. (We're looking at you, Dua Lipa.) In other words, denim jacket inspo is endless.

Anyone can toss a denim jacket over a sundress — and why not, it's a great look. But we're way more excited by the 'fits that change the way we think about this wardrobe staple and looks that redefine the very meaning of "jean jacket." Dramatic? Sure. But if loving a bold, inventive OOTD is wrong, we don't want to be right. Ahead, we've rounded up 10 looks that are jean jacket outfit game-changers. Trust us, you'll never look at this iconic piece of denim outerwear the same way again.

Off the Shoulders

We love an effortlessly undone jean jacket outfit, especially one that serves a fresh silhouette. To recreate this look, try buttoning the lower third of your jean jacket's buttons asymmetrically, then pull it up so it falls off your shoulders. You can secure it at the waist with a belt or skip the accessory for a slouchy effect.

As a Dress

Blazers aren't the only outerwear option that can be worn as a dress. An oversized jean jacket works just as well. Sai de Silva's mini is street style perfection, but we also love an oversized, baggy moment. Don't forget that you can always slip on a pair of bike shorts underneath for extra coverage.

Cuffed Up

There's nothing new about rolling up your sleeves, but cuffing them and pulling your shirt sleeves through is a fresh, undone way to style a jean jacket.

Tucked in

For chillier days, a layer of denim can be a lifesaver. If you don't want to sacrifice a pre-planned 'fit that includes a button-down top, simply wear your jean jacket the way you'd wear a button-down: tucked into a skirt, shorts, or pants.

Cinched with a Statement Belt

A stunning chain or statement belt shouldn't be hidden away under outerwear. A bright metallic belt — the more chains the merrier! — doesn't just look eye-catching, it can also create cohesion with your other accessories.

Over a Gown

Skip the shawl or shrug and go with denim. A jean jacket draped over your shoulders doesn't just keep you warm when worn with a gorgeous gown, it also adds a casual vibe so you can layer atop more formal gowns for brunch and date night instead of only black-tie occasions.

As a Top

If you're eager to give the celeb-loved Canadian Tuxedo trend a try in warmer weather, skip the skirt when getting dressed and go with just a jean jacket and pants. If you're worried about coverage, you can always add a bra or statement bralette.

Under Overalls

This look works best with a cropped jean jacket, but if your overalls are oversized, any style of jacket will do. We love the look of denim-on-denim and the street style vibe levels up when you add a pair of statement sneakers.

Almost Unbuttoned

One way to style a denim jacket that's sure to set the look apart (even if you're not wearing vibrant orange) is to button only the topmost button and leave the rest undone. Worn this way, a jean jacket creates a color-block effect that can be played up with accessories.

Snatched with a Corset

We're all about this statement-making and unexpected pairing. You may need to size up in the corset to accommodate the added fabric, so keep that in mind when putting your look together.
