I Was Done Buying Denim Jackets, Until I Saw This One From Gap


If my past self could see that I've added yet another denim jacket to my collection, she would be in disbelief. But hear me out: Despite already owning a sizable amount of traditional jean jackets, none of them were quite right for my style. They all boasted standard details, with buttons down the front and a mid-length cut. But I rarely wore them because they just didn't pair well with the high-rise bottoms (Jeans! Skirts! Shorts!) that dominate my wardrobe. That all changed, though, when I stumbled upon this Gap Cropped Denim Jacket ($41, originally $70). Its shorter length is a perfect match for my high-rise pieces, and the zipper closure adds a modern twist that I love. And that's just scratching the surface of why I've been practically living in it. Below, I break down everything you could possibly want to know about it in case you want to add it to your summer wardrobe.

What I Love About the Gap Cropped Denim Jacket

Since buying this denim jacket, I've already worn it multiple times, and for the record, I bought it last week. It complements everything in my wardrobe, from my casual work-from-home wardrobe, which is filled with T-Shirts, to the many matching sets I choose for date nights and outings with friends. A perfect example: I'm wearing the Linen-Cotton Ultra-Cropped Cami ($50) and the Linen-Blend Maxi Skirt ($70) in these photos that I persuaded my husband to take of me after wine night.

Another thing I adore about this denim jacket is its comfortable, flattering fit. My previous jackets ranged from being too soft to even resemble denim to so rigid they weren't comfortable to wear. This one is the perfect in-between. It's slim-fitting without feeling tight or constricting, and the fabric - 95 percent cotton and five percent recycled cotton - is non-stretchy and flexible (while still managing to feel soft, not scratchy). I also love its versatility and the fact that it looks chic, whether slightly zippered or fully unzipped.


What's Worth Noting About the Gap Cropped Denim Jacket

I'm struggling to find any drawbacks of this denim jacket because it's exactly what I hoped for and more. The fit is cropped, comfortable, and versatile. I ordered my usual size medium and it runs perfectly true to size. The crop length is just right, hitting directly at mid-hip, in line with my belly button. It's not an extreme statement crop nor a typical length jacket, making it ideal for those looking for one that's only subtly shorter than most. In my opinion, it's best styled baring a hint of skin with a mid-rise skirt, like the one I'm wearing here, or teamed with high-rise bottoms to visually elongate your legs.


Who Is the Gap Cropped Denim Jacket Best For?

This cropped denim jacket is best for those looking for a versatile piece of outerwear that's stylish yet practical. It's especially ideal for those looking for a cropped silhouette that's comfortable and flattering.

Where Is the Gap Cropped Denim Jacket Available?

The Gap Cropped Denim Jacket is available exclusively at Gap.

The Boob-Window Trend Is All Over the Red Carpet From Sydney Sweeney to Chlöe

The boob window is the new trend in celebrity dressing making waves this year, both on and off the red carpet. As early as January, in fact, Lori Harvey stepped out to celebrate her 26th birthday in the LBD version of the look, flaunting an asymmetrical midi from The Attico with a chest cutout that circled her cleavage, and was further amplified by an attention-grabbing neck-tie sash. The outfits that follow often resemble halter silhouettes, although not all of these numbers boast a strap on each side. Sydney Sweeney is the latest style icon to give it a go, opting for a brown silk gown that she wore alongside model Izabel Goulart while vacationing in Ibiza. For a night out, the 25-year-old " Euphoria " star rocked her one-shoulder design with gold jewelry, dewy makeup, and her bright blonde hair in loose waves. The bodice of her dress was secured near her collar bone, where fabric from one side was pulled through a loop at the other, wrapping around to the back. The r...

Barry Manilow Shuts Down Michael Kors's Studio 54-Themed Fall 2019 Runway

Michael Kors has established himself as the go-to designer for all things American glamour, whether that's easy West Coast chic or '80s power bitch, so it was not particularly surprising when he cited the Studio 54-era of New York City as inspiration behind his Fall 2019 collection, shown ...

I Wore Sofía Vergara's Viral and Divisive Sneaker Heels - and Actually Sort of Loved Them

Despite what some people may think, the return of sneaker heels - largely attributed to Sara Blakely , the inventor of world-renowned Spanx, and now Sneex - happened by accident. "Our founder did not set out to create a sneaker heel. She set out to create the world's most comfortable high heel and this is where the innovation led her," a brand rep says. Not only are they supportive, they add noticeable bounce to my steps, which actually makes walking in high heels sort of . . . fun? Nevertheless, merely one year in, the company can report that The Tepper in Silver ($595) sold out in just 24 hours after launch and accrued an 11,000-person waitlist. One-third of the brand's customers have already invested in a second pair. And celebrities from Jane Fonda and Sofía Vergara to Reese Witherspoon and Suki Waterhouse have already been spotted wearing them. "The Sneex customer is responding to sneaker heels because they want height and wearability," the S...
