Some of the best jean jackets aren’t traditional button-ups anymore. Gap just released a motorcycle-inspired version that looks like it should be made out of leather instead of denim. The cropped silhouette can go with anything, from a casual shirtdress and leggings to dressing down an evening outfit. And the asymmetrical zipper and slit pockets add to the biker look without trying too hard. The cotton fabric is worn-in, so it feels nice when you slip it on. It may be trendy, but it does have one thing in common with traditional jean jackets: This will be a wardrobe staple for the season.
