18 of the Best Jean Jackets for Women Who L-O-V-E Denim

I used to hate wearing denim jackets because I thought they were too stiff and uncomfy for most of my life, but that's until I finally tried on the right one. It was a thrift find that was soft, worn-in, and perfectly oversized, and I honestly don't know what I'd do without it?! It really goes with everthingggg. Jean jackets are truly a closet staple, and make great layering pieces if you're dealing with frigid A/C during the summer or any other transitional temps, tbh. But there are tons of different designs, colors, washes, and silhouettes out there like cropped raw hemmed ones or off-white boxy fits, so it can be overwhelming to find THE one.
