A denim jacket is the LBD of outerwear. It looks great over everything and, in a classic trucker cut, never goes out of style. But who says you have to stick to the same denim every day? News flash: You can own two jean jackets (even three if you're feeling wild). That’s why we’re giving our go-to topper a slight breather in favor of a shopping spree among these 17 styles. Trust us: They’re far less expected and just as versatile.
