Jean Jacket Layering: 4 Outfit Ideas for Spring

Layering season doesn’t have to be complicated, but if you’re not sure what to wear with jean jackets, we’ve got you covered with this season’s must-have styles and layering inspo! Just start with your favorite jacket, add essential jeans, tops, and dresses, and you’re set with an effortless look that’s just right for transitional layering and the cooler days of spring.

For Girls: With Dresses & Sweaters

Denim Double Dip

Create this dreamy outfit by doubling up on two tried-and-true denim styles, a classic jean jacket and high-waisted jeggings. Choose Dream Jean jeggings for our most legging-like fabric and limitless four-way stretch you’ll love, then match it with a jean jacket in the same wash. Just add a super-soft oversized sweater and you’ve got a forever cozy feel.

Dress It Up

Whoever said you have to wait until summer to wear dresses doesn’t know much about layering. Create this cozy outfit by wearing a comfy sweater dress under a jean jacket made with classic details like front pockets and a true-blue medium wash. Just add comfy socks and Chelsea boots and you’ve got a new favorite outfit.

For Guys: With Hoodies & Flannels

Ripped & Repaired Vibes

Mix up the denim on denim vibe by wearing a dark wash denim jacket with light wash jeans. Ripped and repaired jeans make sure you have enough coverage on cooler days, and a slim straight fit looks good with boots, too. Layer with a soft fleece hoodie and you’ve got a repeat-worthy outfit all season long.

Flannel Faves

Layer a lightweight flannel shirt under a jean jacket for a timelessly cool vibe that keeps you comfortable when temps are warming but you’re still in-between seasons. Wear them with AirFlex+ jeans that have an authentic denim look with lightweight flexibility, and pair them with sneakers and a beanie for an athletic-inspired look.
