When I was visualizing my spring wardrobe during the winter months (it’s one of the things that helps get me through!), I kept imaging a classic jean jacket in white denim. Ever since, I’ve been looking for a staple second layer I can reach for again and again that also won’t ruin the seasonality of an outfit. I’m glad to report that I found the spring jacket of my dreams with this white denim piece that is now part of my everyday capsule wardrobe!

Let me tell you, I was quite scared to make a white jean jacket investment. After all, anyone in my life will tell you that I can’t go anywhere without getting something on my outfit. The risk has definitely been so worth it! I love the put-together look this jacket gives paired with yoga pants for an athleisure outfit just as much as I enjoy its elegance over a dress on chillier days. Plus, a classic denim jacket is something that will always be in style, so I know I’ll get so much wear out of it for years to come.

Meet the Perfect White Denim Jacket

To be honest, this is the first denim jacket I’ve ever owned (and also the first white jacket I’ve ever owned, too)! I hate when something makes me feel constricted and limits my mobility. Every other denim jacket I’ve tried on has done just that. There is the piece from this outfit that looked like a blue denim jacket, but it’s a lightweight chambray fabric instead of denim. Ordered through Stitch Fix (use this link to get a $25 credit!), I truly felt like I won the lottery when I put this jean jacket on! It’s the Kolten Denim Jacket from Liverpool in white. This denim fabric used for this jacket is so stretchy, comfortable, and everything I dreamed it would be. I sized down to an extra small because I wanted a more fitted look at a length similar to what you’d get with a cropped denim jacket. NOTE: I work part-time for Stitch Fix and am always happy to support the company when adding pieces to my closet.

I’ll also point you to the Classic White Denim Jacket in High Performance Denim on the Liverpool website. Or, there’s this charming white jean style in eyelet fabric (from Liverpool as well) that I’m having the HARDEST time not purchasing. Honestly, I’d trust any piece from Liverpool. I have a pair of dark denim Liverpool skinny jeans (seen in this outfit) and they are the most comfortable pair of jeans that I own.

So far, here are my three favorite white denim jacket outfits that I’ve created with this denim jacket! I enjoy how this jacket makes a spring statement in each casual look. Plus, the white adds in a crisp, fresh touch that makes any outfit feel lighter and brighter this time of year.

3 Ways to Wear a White Denim Jacket

Over a Jumpsuit

Personally, I just think jumpsuits are the MVP of easy outfits (clearly given how many times I’ve worn them!). I styled my white denim jacket over a classic jumpsuit from Gal Meets Glam Collection for an everyday look. It was the perfect outfit for an afternoon stop at Macaron Bar. It made me feel put-together while maintaining enough practicality to chase after my niece. The purple and black versions of this jumpsuit are still available at Nordstrom Rack at 59% off! I completed the look with cute, casual sneakers so that I could chase around my niece, but you could do something similar with a summery sandal, too!

With an Athleisure Look

This dressed down white denim jacket outfit with sneakers was featured a few weeks ago! I can’t count on one hand how many times I’ve recreated it since. I love yoga pants, especially in the stay at home phase that we’re currently in. When I don’t feel up for leaving the house in a fancier outfit, I know I can reach for my white denim jacket to give my activewear a more polished appearance. It elevates even the most casual shirt.

For a Denim on Denim Outfit

Bring a spring touch to a classic denim on denim look by opting for a white denim jacket paired with blue denim jeans. Try tucking a floral fitted shirt into a pair of high waisted denim. Then, top it off with a white denim jacket for a double denim, spring-approved way to wear your denim jeans (especially if you’re still getting some chillier spring days). You could even opt for a light wash pair of denim to lighten up your look. The skinny jeans in these photos are actually the Liverpool skinny blue jeans I mentioned earlier! I love them because they’re so comfortable that I practically feel like I’m in leggings when I wear them. 

If you’re feeling extra brave, try a pair of white jeans when you wear your white jacket or even a white denim skirt! Here are a few white denim and white bottom choices:

Bonus Denim Jacket Outfit Idea: Over a Maxi Dress

As the weather warms up, I look forward to wearing this jacket over all of the dresses in my closet. I think the white color will look especially gorgeous over this blue and white maxi dress I bought last spring! Whether it’s a flowy ditsy floral dress or an everyday t-shirt dress, I know this denim jacket will be my go-to second layer to wear.

Looking for a blue jean jacket?

If a white jean option is a bit too far out of your comfort zone, Liverpool also has a bunch of traditional blue jean options for jackets as well including the must-loved Classic Denim Jacket (it features the same stretchy denim material that is so comfortable to wear). There’s also this one in a light wash blue denim and they make an edgy moto jacket as something different to consider, too. Truthfully, you can’t go wrong with any of the denim pieces from Liverpool because of the premium performance fabric that they use. I’m also loving the look (and price!) of this distressed denim jacket from Old Navy.
