Britney Spears is responsible for the denim dress. But for a casual version of this iconic look, style an oversized black jacket as a miniature dress. Wear a belt wide to add dimension to the dress, or leave it off to achieve a more baggy look. Add some black knee high boots to complete this fall-friendly look.
Blue Jeans

Wearing black and blue jeans at the same is a great idea in any season. Layering denim can be overwhelming, but this outfit works because it uses light-blue over navy denim and black accessories.
Wide-Leg Trousers

This will make a warm outfit that you can wear during the fall or winter. If you want a more sleek outfit, this style will also look great with a pair of black high-waisted pants and a crew neck sweater.

This duster is a great alternative to the traditional waist-length black jean jacket. The floor-grazing length gives the outfit more movement and the look is bolder when only the top buttons are fastened.
Capri Pants

Capri trousers were a controversial Y2K fashion, but we think that they look great when paired up with a cropped jean jacket. The casual denim is elevated with a keyhole bralette, black pumps and a cropped jean jacket. If you prefer a more covered undershirt, swap the bralette with a black Tshirt or bodysuit.
With Beading

You can still look ultra-glam in a black beaded jean jacket if rhinestones are not your thing. The beading adds a subtle sparkle to a classic LBD. This will make for a sophisticated and flirty nighttime look.
Under Outerwear

It’s not new to layer outerwear, but removing one sleeve from the shoulder gives this look a modern twist. The dark denim is balanced by a high-necked white top and faded grey jeans. This allows you to experiment with lighter accessories.
Pinstripe Skorts

Pinstripes on a skort are a great way to add a touch of casual sophistication. For this look, wear a cropped jean jacket black over a black plain T-shirt. Accessorize the look with your favorite shoe. For a cool, casual look, we love a chunky shoe.
As a Corset
