The cropped jean jacket style for women, when paired with a black dress and bootie heels, let you hit the scene for a movie night out, a date, or even a party, and be dressed for any occasion. Another timeless piece, this look has been around for decades, yet has the simplicity in balanced style to maintain it’s glory.

The uniqueness of the versatility in the black dress with jean jacket is the same essence that gives the mens’ blazer and jeans appeal; where the mens’ styling combines a formal top with casual jeans, the womens’ variation combines the casual top (denim jacket) with at formal black dress. Because of that balance, this outfit is great for all seasons, as it also works perfectly well with only the black dress, with jean jacket style left behind in warmer weather.

For summer, the variation of this outfit with the black overalls-style romper shorts may catch your eye to help you keep cool. Adding accessories is always fun, and we’ve selected a few gold-accented pieces in the form of a cuff and cinch belt, to give the outfit a little ‘pop’; Allegra K, Nine West, Steve Madden and Coach get our nods this go-around, so mix and match to make it your style!
