As Summer Ends, Sport These Black Jean Jackets

The end of summer is on the horizon—sad, no doubt. But there are sartorial silver linings—like cozy sweaters, black jean jackets, and quilted outerwear—that help make the upcoming fall season just as exciting. With fall drawing nearer and nearer, the time is now to stock up on warm clothes and swap out light-wash denim pieces for their darker-wash brethren. Denim jackets are always a wardrobe mainstay, and while they are by and large trendless with year-round wearability, this season there is a bevy of black jean jackets on the market that pack a punch. Christopher Kane’s black jean jacket includes the designer’s signature diamanté; Magda Butrym designed a fitted, tailored option; and Bottega Veneta’s take is a sleek oversized shacket.

Here, a selection of black jean jackets for the upcoming season that you’ll have forever. Some feature more simple, classic silhouettes; others are inspired by menswear; still more feature inventive silhouettes. But all of them are stylish and ideal for fall’s transitional weather.
