Jean jacket?

[memenee]

Not necessary, but it's a good staple. It's pretty versatile.

[bethaboo]

I finally bought one last summer. It doesn't come out of the closet super often, but I like having it to complete certain outfits.

Maybe not necessary but I like having it. Ditto that it doesn't come out often, but I feel it completes certain outfits.

I bought my jean jacket maybe 10 years ago from the Gap and it comes in handy. I use it more during the Spring.

I finally found one this summer after shopping over a year! Before that, I had not had one since about 1990? LOL I've really wanted one badly for a while. Like pp said, it's a staple and completes an outfit. May not be essential for everyone, but for me it felt that way. Great when paired with a maxi dress.
Mine is from American Eagle.

This exactly. I like it for travel during the summer. Heavier than a cardigan and goes easily with maxi dresses and shorts.

ETA- this is the one I have. www.jcrew.com/womens_category/denim/moredenimfavorites/PRDOVR~02779/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20+225~~~0~15~all~mode+matchallany~~~~~Jean%20jacket/02779.jsp?isSaleItem=false&isFromSearch=true

it is necessary for me. it's my favorite lightweight jacket. it's a classic that has been around for 60+ years, and will be around for a long time to come. it cycles in and out of being "in style" every other year or so this past decade, but you'll never be unfashionable by wearing one.

mine is Gap, classic cut, medium wash.

[ilovebed]

I have a classic style from Gap from years ago and it's definitely a staple for me in the summers. I wear it all time. For me it never goes out of style.

I have this one in the antique sanded blue. I've always had a denim jacket in my closet for as long as I have worn clothes. This one is by far my favorite. It has just a little bit of stretch that keeps it from being too stiff and boxy.

Oh! And here's mine. It's from Gap.


I will add that sometimes, I just wear my J.Crew chambray shirt as a jean jacket too.0

[frannyr]

not a necessity but a nice to have. Mine is from the Gap too but I have to say, I hardly wear it. Might have to break it out more next spring.

I bought one and then returned it because I almost always wear jeans. I don't like denim-on-denim, so it wasn't a good purchase for me.

[msturtle143]

I wore the classic style in the 90s but I'm not feeling the love when it came back. I bought one and donated it. I'm keeping an eye out for a moto cut one though!

This is my struggle. I end up keeping it as my emergency jacket in my car.

I got another one for my birthday so I'm going to make an effort to wear it more this year.

I just got one this past summer and mostly used it with maxi dresses or maxi skirts and a tank.

I just got one late in the fall to do this with ^^  (dislike denim on denim also). Mine was from Old Navy (new with tags, but I got it on Ebay for like $10. lol)
