I bought this jean jacket form H&M three years ago.
It only set me back $20 and I love it.
Love. Love. Love it.
If you’re looking for something to snag to take your summer wardrobe into the next season a jean jacket (fitted and short) is probably the most versatile and useful investment you can make. Well, one of them (cute flats, a good pair of jeans, a couple of scarves, and a smokin’ hot pair of boots are great ideas too) at least.
Here’s how I rock mine.
How to Wear a Jean Jacket
With florals and boots. Something about this made me feel a little cow girlish. And that’s a good thing. You know, once in a while.
Paired with a colorful summer dress. This is my favorite swim suit cover up dress. I get compliments on it every time I wear it which, of course, makes me love it more.
With a flowy skirt. Remember a while back when I couldn’t figure out what to do with this skirt? Got it now!
With a maxi dress. I don’t wear many full length maxi dresses (the whole being short thing), but I really like this one. Best part? I’ve had it since before I even became a mom!
Full out denim. Because denim on denim is totally cool again.
You can’t get my jacket online (H&M doesn’t sell online in the US. UPDATE: I am a total liar! As Jackie from With Just a Bit of Magic pointed out, you CAN shop on H&M in the US! Life officially altered!), but you can snag this similar one (or it’s friend)!
Light washed denim jacket & medium wash denim jacket both available on Target.com!

Love that maxi dress on you! I’m short, too (5 ft. 2 on a “feeling tall” day.) ;)
Renee says
love all the ways you have pair this jacket! I love it with the feminine touch that the dresses gives :-)
Anna Hettick says
Denim jackets a my favorite way to transition from summer to fall and also from winter to spring. They are SO versatile!!
Great combinations! :)

Guhhhh! I always love other people in jean jackets but somehow I hate it on myself every. single. time. What am I doing wrong?! They always end up looking so stiff and boxy on me. Maybe I need a better cut.
I’m going to need to conduct some research. And by research I mean shopping.

So freaking cute! My denim jacket is a wardrobe staple for me too.
P.S. Look at dem legs! ;)
Amiyrah says
I swear, you are my soul sister in fashion. That jean jacket over the maxi dress? Yup, my go-to in the fall. You are so chic and cute!
Jennifer says
Adorable. I love all of those looks.
Jackie says
Okay…. I’m not sure if it’s 100% true but I think that H&M sells online to the US now! If I’m wrong it’s my daughter’s fault… she told me.
Aside from that I love my jean jacket! I wear it with all sorts of things…. a maxi dress similar to yours too.
DudeMom says
Seriously! They do! You just changed my life. Like, literally altered it. Along with my bank account!
Jackie says
I just checked and they do!!! And I found the cutest shirt that I want.
jdt1583 says
You look so cute! Love the boots!
DudeMom says
Thanks! What NOT to Wear lives on! I got them on the show from Aldo.
Kristin says
That jacket was a great score and one of my fave fall looks is a maxi and denim jacket!
Carla says
I love wearing my denim jacket. I got a new one from Goodwill last year for $4 and I think it is perfect in the fall. I didn’t think it would look good with a maxi dress but what you did looks great!
DudeMom says
Thanks! I’m not a huge maxi dress wearer, but this look seems to work for me.
Margaret says
Wowee, look at those gams! All your working out is really paying off! And, you are rocking that denim jacket!
DudeMom says
Thanks Margaret. Working out schedule is back on track now that school is in. Maybe something will happen to this leftover baby belly I’m sporting.
Tamara says
I don’t know how I didn’t find you until today, but I’m glad I did. And on twitter and Facebook! I love jean jackets, perhaps more than anything, and I believe I have achieved all five looks you suggested this summer. The best. If I could leave in dresses, skirts and jean jackets year round, I would! I definitely live in the wrong climate.
DudeMom says
Amen, sister, I would live in dresses if I could. They are SO my jam!
