One Plain Denim Jacket, 7 Bangin’ Fall Outfits That Don’t Fail

There are certain basic pieces most of us all have in our
wardrobes. Yes, I’m clearing talking about staples like black
ankle boots and white T-shirts, but there’s another fall
must-have that will always be a front-runner. That’s right, the
trusty denim
jacket. You know it, you love it, but alas, the seemingly
“plain” item can feel a bit stale if you’ve tossed it on with
the same casual fit for years.

But don’t be alarmed: The street style set won’t quit jean
jackets either—they’ve recently stepped out in creative ways to
style the mainstay. So with that, I bring you seven bangin’
fall outfits
to consider the next time you reach for your favorite jean jacket.
And if you’re looking to upgrade the silhouette you’ve owned
forever, I also made sure to incorporate some of the freshest denim
toppers on the market…

Style
tip: Position a slouchy jacket slightly off your shoulders with a
graphic tee and straight-leg jeans. To add that touch of polish,
don’t be afraid of mixing unexpected mules into the casual
’fit.

Style
tip: Amp up the cool factor by teaming your denim jacket with
washed jeans. A slightly cropped hoodie and white sneakers complete
the vibe.

Style
tip: A well-layered look can feel extremely high-concept. Follow
this style setter’s lead by tossing a denim jacket over a
jeans-under-dress situation with a turtleneck incorporated as
well.

Style
tip: A red skirt stands out flawlessly against a blue jacket. Add
in playful accessories and you have yourself an elevated denim
outfit.

Style
tip: Embrace the denim-on-denim vibe by buttoning your jacket all
the way up and adding a splashy pair of white booties.

Style
tip: While we’ve been focusing primarily on blue jean jackets, a
faded black style is also a staple—and looks forward draped over
a floral maxi dress with high-top sneakers.

Style
tip: Take a note from this fashion week–goer and button up your
denim jacket just slightly to reveal a lace camisole. Wide-leg
pants and heels will finish off this outfit for a night out.
