Ree Has a New Denim Jacket and It Goes With Everything

Nothing says Americana like a good ol' jean jacket. In fact, a great denim jacket might actually be the single most practical piece of outerwear you ever buy. The wardrobe staple goes with everything: over your blousy tops and cute floral dresses, a pair of your best jeans, even your favorite yoga pants! And if you're in the market for a new one, look no further than this list of the best denim jackets for women.
Ree Drummond understands their appeal. "I always had a denim jacket growing up," she says. Her first was a traditional Levi's trucker style in a medium wash—the kind that pairs perfectly with cowboy boots. Then in the '80s she moved on to (what else?) an acid-washed denim jacket, which she decked out with tons of buttons that paid tribute to her favorite musicians like Duran Duran and Billy Idol. These days, Ree's best denim jacket is one she wears less for fashion and more for 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!"
Whether you like traditional styles like the trucker or something with a little more flair like pretty puff sleeves or moto details, you'll find something perfect for your style in this roundup. Then pair your new jacket with comfortable wedges or ankle boots for the perfect denim jacket outfit.
Levi's Original Trucker Jacket
This style is 100 percent a classic, and it's super similar to Ree's first-ever jean jacket. The medium wash makes it easy to pair with anything and it looks even chicer when you roll up the sleeves.
Madewell The Jean Jacket
Thanks to the classic indigo wash and the traditional details, this jacket will go with everything in your closet. It's made with what the retailer calls "top-of-the-line" denim and has a fit that won't ever go out of style.
Oversized Icon Denim Jacket
The boxy, exaggerated fit of this denim jacket is all the rage right now. It's the ultimate layering piece thanks to its ample room for everything from hoodies to sweaters and its ability to balance out tighter items like fitted tees.
The Pioneer Woman Classic Denim Jacket
Ree's offers a classic denim jacket with a twist! If you roll the cuffs up, you will expose the cutest pink trim to add a pop to your outfit. Plus, the fabric is nice and stretchy for extra comfort.
Gap Icon Denim Jacket
Who says you can't get a little daring with your denim? Add some edge to your outfits by topping them off with this classic-shaped pick in black.
Time and Tru Women's Denim Jacket
If you're looking for a more affordable version of the classic jacket style, try this one! It comes in several washes and colors (like pink!) in sizes ranging from S to 3X.
Wrangler Authentics Women's Stretch Denim Jacket
Everyone needs a go-to lightweight white jacket in warmer weather. This one is unlined for all of your layering needs. And just look at those silver buttons that really make it pop!
3/4 Sleeve Cropped Denim Jacket
A cropped jean jacket will elongate your body and make your legs look a mile long—and who doesn't want that? This style looks great with a fitted sweater, a flowy maxi dress, or even a T-shirt tucked into some high-waisted jeans.
100% Organic Cotton Denim Jacket
Better for the environment and meant to last, this durable yet soft option will be a wardrobe staple. Plus, you get free shipping and free returns if you don't love it. (Though it has a lot of five-star reviews so we don't think that will happen!)
Chill Outing Medium Wash Denim Button-Up Shacket
By investing in one of the best shackets, you basically get a two-for-one deal: Wear it as a shirt or wear it as a jacket. Either way, it's the perfect balance of casual and stylish.
Denim Moto Jacket
Get the best of both worlds: the casual look of denim with the classically cool details of a leather moto jacket. It has just enough room so you can wear it more fitted and still feel comfortable.
Puff Sleeve Denim Jacket
We love the feminine details of this option. The puff sleeves add just a little bit of flair to an otherwise classic silhouette. It will look so great over a midi dress!
Distressed Denim Jacket
If you love the '80s, you'll definitely love this acid wash look. The silhouette keeps it from being overwhelming, so you can wear it easily with any modern styling.
Miss Moly Hooded Jean Jacket
Why choose between throwing on a hoodie or a jean jacket when you can do both? It's extra comfy thanks to the sweatshirt sleeves and hood, which give you more flexibility to move. It comes in a few different color washes, too!
Justalwart Starlit Pocketed Denim Jacket
All you need is a little red in your outfit to go with this white and blue jacket, and you'll have an all-American look. With an oversized fit, you'll ooze casual cool whether you're just running errands or out and about with friends.
Levi's Original Sherpa Trucker Jacket
This trucker jacket looks kind of like the style Ladd wears! It'll keep you warm and comfy once weather starts to cool down—it has a fuzzy sherpa lining and soft quilted lining in sleeves.
Destroyed Oversized Denim Jacket
We get it, sometimes you want a lived-in look without the decades it takes to wear down the denim. Enter this jacket! It's got just the right amount of distressing to make it cool but won't fall apart on you.
Vetinee Fringe Jacket
This Western-style jacket is perfect for a day out on the ranch. But if you're not like Ree and simply inspired by this 'fit, this jacket with faux suede fringe looks great with a cowboy hat and a statement belt buckle.
Long Denim Jacket
If you love a duster but prefer the denim material, this jacket is for you! Its elongated silhouette brings dramatic flair to any outfit. Belt it at the waist and pair it with a dress or high boots for a casual look.
J.Crew Denim Blazer
Another cool mashup of styles is combining a dressier blazer and a denim jacket. Dress it up over a pair of black pants or skirt or dress it down with a pair of jeans or shorts.
