jean jackets

[dc2london]

So these appear to be a thing again, yes?  Where can I get a cute one?  I don't want to spend a fortune.  

[momin2013]

Aaaaand you just took me back to seventh grade...

Seriously, though - I've seen them at The Gap for fairly cheap: www.gap.com/products/jean-jacket.jsp#

I promise not to wear it with the sleeves cut off and a floral sundress

I think wearing a chambray shirt open over a shirt is a better look and a little more "in". Legit thick denim jackets are terrible.

That's a good point.  And a chambray shirt would be so much more comfortable.

I have one from Gap that's about 10 years old. I didn't know they ever went out of style lol....

[lindsay9911]

I have one from old navy that has lasted me for years and still looks new.

I'm on my second one from Old Navy...only because I lost the first one. My sister has one from The Gap and it is a much thinner material than my Old Navy one, just an FYI depending on what you're looking for.

I just bought one at American Eagle. I don't know that it's ever not been a thing around here. I get plenty of complements on it. I do not wear it with jeans however and according to some morning show I was watching, that is the new thing, denim with denim.

Gap has nice ones but my old navy Jean jacket had held up well. When worn properly, it can be cute. But I also own like 6 different shades of chambray shirts and those are more versatile.

I have a legit denim jacket from Gap. I haven't worn it in a couple years. Are they not cool? 

Not that I give a shit, I'm just curious.

What?!  No.  We used to call that a Canadian tuxedo (sorry Canada girls!)  That is inexcusable.

Hmm mine is fitted. I'm not sure if that's the same thick kind you're talking about. I never wear it though so its a moot point.

I couldn't agree more.  Yuck.  It looked terribly mismatched.  But then, don't half the 'runway trends' look awful anyway?

Jean on jean will never/should never be a thing.

I love jean jackets. I went to a private school and their uniforms were hideous. All the girls wore a jean jacket in 8th grade to attempt to make the outfit bearable. Good times

I don't know how you would incorporate one into an outfit now though.

I wear mine with khakis instead of a cardigan.  I wear it with a skirt if I want to dress it down.

What about potentially with a dress to dress it down a bit? (Think maxi or summer dresses)

[minismama]

I've seen people wear them. They just seem so uncomfortable. The first place I would think to get them is the GAP

Late UO-denim on denim is cute IF (big disclaimer) done right. Different denim tones, say dark skinnies and a lighter chambray shirt with a cute belt or accessories can totally work. All the same color and then you're venturing into JT:Britney Spears matching denim Grammy outfits.

Also, scattered, a fitted gap denim jacket is timeless. They look really good with all black outfits or the right maxi dress!

[diapersnwipes]

Check out Old Navy. I got DD one from there and it's adorable. I want one for myself.

This is a joke, right??

[auroraloo]

I refuse to admit that chambray shirts are ever coming back. Ever. Why on earth with the 80's fashion??

[letranger]

J has a denim vest. That's all I got.

Ankle pants
Longer t (cover yo ass)
Ballet flats
Denim jacket

[auroraloo]

btw, I'm with scattered, denim jackets were never completely "out" they were less popular, but I've had a super cute one for years that I wear to work.

I'm a Canadian and that's what I call it too! I'm pretty sure our jackass Prime Minister also sported an all-denim outfit one time. Sigh.

I should probably save this for next Thursday, but I hate ballet flats on me. On anyone else, they look awesome. When I put them on, they look hideous.

I see a lot of women wear them with maxi dresses when the weather starts to cool down. Maybe that's just a regional thing?

I will never be fashionable bc I often look at trends (like the recent revival of 80's anything) and think it looks ghastly.

[YahYahs]

I bought one and promptly returned it because I realized I wear jeans 99.9% of the time, and I just can't with denim + denim.

I see that and with a solid top and a maxi skirt. I like it.

No no no no no no. No denim jackets. Ever.
