If it was acceptable to wear a denim jacket every day of my life, I would—it's timeless, goes with everything, and makes the simplest of outfits look that much cooler. Of course, a fitted jean jacket belongs in every woman's closet, but make sure you don't sleep on the oversized fit, either. I tend to pair form-fitting and/or risqué pieces with something baggy—a fashion rule that Audrey Hepburn once swore by, and one that will keep you from looking basic in your little black dress, crop top, or bodysuit. Below, check out some of our favorite oversized denim jackets that we give you permission to splurge on, including options by some of our favorite sustainable denim brands. (And if you're wondering how to style your new jean jacket, we've got you covered there too.)
