Transitional weather dressing is a fashion conundrum for the ages. Temperatures within the course of a day can be unpredictable at best and you can wind up sweating or freezing at any given moment. While it can be tempting to dive into sweater season full force and layer up, a versatile layering piece is probably your best bet. Enter your trusty jean jacket.
Styling jean jackets is actually easier than you think and you need only pore over the sartorial eye candy that pervaded fashion month for proof. Style stars and industry insiders hit the streets in jean jacket outfits that ran the gamut from casual to edgy (but always chic). Paired with everything from jeans to shimmery miniskirts, trusty truckers were not only the weatherproof finishing touch to many an outfit, they were the unsung wardrobe MVPs from New York to Paris. The result: outfit inspiration for days — literally.
