Confession: I used to resist the jean jacket trend. I thought it was a little Canadian tuxedo, a little mom jeans, but this summer I’ve come to find that jean jackets are a little more versatile then I used to think. Besides the fact that it’s been unseasonably cool {seriously, why was last month so rainy and cold?}, I’ve been turning to my jean jacket day after day. Not only is it perfect for casual weekend wear, but I’ve also been dressing up a jean jacket with a few of my favorite summer dresses and more work appropriate wear {on those rare days when I have to attempt to dress up!}

Here are my favorite ways to style a jean jacket featured in Women’s Health a few weeks back!

I loved pairing  bright, neon dress with a more subtle jean jacket. This neon pink stunner from J.Crew has always been a favorite of mine for summer, but on colder summer night after work,  it can get a little chilly. Paired with comfy metallic heels, and my favorite purse from Henri Bendel, I’m ready for a long day at work, and after work drinks downtown too!

Another surprisingly dressy way to wear a jean jacket is paired with a more structured, pencil skirt look. I snagged this jewel pink pencil skirt a few years back, and I still love how well it goes with everything – from jean jackets and graphic tees to more dressy silky tops. Rather than rolling with fancy heels, I kept the look casual and comfy with a pair of flats.

Have a jean jacket you love too? I’d love to hear how you style it for a little more inspiration!
