Is there anything better than a jean jacket you really, truly love? We think not—and Ree concurs. Her first was a traditional Levi's trucker style in a medium wash (just add cowboy boots, right?). These days, her denim jacket of choice has a bit more sentimentality, but just as much utility: "It's Ladd's—it's Levi's and it's lined with a fuzzy wool-like material,” she says. "I really need to buy my own!"
Here, we're sharing the best denim jacket outfit ideas in the hopes that they'll have you falling back in love with your favorite wardrobe staple (besides those beloved flannel shirts of yours). Jean jackets, after all, pair well with just about anything: floral dresses, skinny jeans, and yes, even yoga pants. You just have to know how to style them! Add some flair with a bold dyed jacket in a delightfully untraditional hue (say, pink?), tone things down with a classic, tried-and-true blue denim, or dial up the drama once again in an all-black ensemble. Whatever you're going for, we've got something here to inspire you. (And yes, we've got flannel outfit ideas, too—don't miss them!)

Pair Your Jacket with a High Neck
A boxy, boyfriend-style jacket is just the thing to pair with a floral dress—and we love the way the high neck peeks out here. Sarah Michelle Gellar displays the look effortlessly, and keeps things from feeling too covered-up with a slightly shorter skirt.
