Sweater, jeans, boots, repeat. Come Fall, this outfit formula is as simple as it is reliable, but after a while, it can start to feel a little stale. Turtlenecks, blanket scarves, and fun textures like corduroy and velvet are always great ways to switch things up, but this year, we found the perfect versatile piece to make your cold-weather wardrobe feel brand new — and extremely cool. Enter an oversize, sherpa-lined denim jacket.

Casual, timeless, and easy to layer, it's no surprise denim jackets have been a staple in outerwear for years. This one's oversize fit serves a dual purpose: it gives the jacket that slouchy, relaxed, and slightly vintage feel, while also making it roomy enough to wear over sweaters and the like. For an added extratrendy bonus, the sherpa lining provides warmth and style, making it stand out from its more plain counterparts.

Best of all, there are endless ways to style a jacket like this. Whether you want to experiment with the "Canadian tuxedo" — aka denim-on-denim — or throw it on over your favorite dresses, jumpsuits, and sweaters, we've rounded up a handful of pieces your new favorite jacket will pair with perfectly.
