Not to brag, but I'm something of a jacket expert. I pull my collection out of storage the second the temperature drops below 60 degrees and honestly, I feel a thrill every time I do it each season. Do I need even more than I already have? Probably not. Are black jean jackets at the top of my shopping list? Yes.
I'm normally a fan of exclusively wearing my leather jacket in the fall and winter, but I think that a darker denim iteration will give my closet a much-needed update this season. Maybe it's because my style took a turn for the comfortable over the last few months, but the relaxed look and feel of a jean jacket are so appealing to me right now. And because I have little to no self-control, I've found 17 of the best options right here.
This list includes everything from classic iterations to oversized fits that will make layering a breeze this season. And don't even get me started on black denim shirt jackets. I have a small pile of them growing in my wardrobe and I am keen to buy more—but only if they're made from black denim. Keep scrolling to check out all of my favorite picks.
