Few wardrobe staples are as iconic as a denim jacket, and musicians have long embraced the layering piece as part
of their on-stage — and off-stage — looks. From Bob Marley and Bob Dylan to Madonna and Pharrell, a denim jacket can be at once luxe and laidback, spanning genres as varied as country and hip-hop, and all ages, genders and personal expressions too.
These days, stars like Ryan Gosling and Drake have brought back the denim jacket look in different ways, whether as a rugged trucker jacket or an oversized streetwear-inspired fit. Musicians like Sombr, Role Model, and Tame Impala have made a denim jacket part of their rock star looks as well.
Of course, you don’t need to be a celebrity to work the jean jacket trend. Denim jackets are widely available online these days, and span different price points too, from designer brands that run into the thousands of dollars (check out Loewe and Celine), to this Levi’s option, that we spotted for $37 at Walmart.
WARDROBE ESSENTIAL
Levi Strauss Signature Men's Original Trucker Jacket
Part of the Levi Strauss Signature Collection, this trucker-style look features all the hallmarks of a good jean jacket: a mid-weight 14 oz. cotton material, metal buttons, flap chest pockets and two welt side pockets.
We love this light-to-medium wash, dubbed “Cowboy Sky” on the Walmart website. The blue colorway is casual enough to pair the denim jacket with a hoodie and sweats, but you wouldn’t look out of place wearing the jacket over a collared shirt to a date or work function either.
This jacket has a classic tailored fit; neither slim nor baggy. We recommend taking your usual size, but you can also size up if you want that oversized look. I’ve had a version of this Levi’s jean jacket for years and love how it’s been beaten up and worn in, yet still maintains its style. Don’t just take our word for it though: Walmart shoppers give it a 4.8-star rating (out of five) from hundreds of reviews online.
Part of Levi’s everyday line, this Levi Strauss Signature Collection Trucker Jacket is available in men’s sizes small to 2XL. A steal at its $37 price point, the Walmart deal gets you the same jacket for cheaper than Amazon.
VERSATILE PICK
Levi Strauss Signature Heritage Work Jacket
Walmart also sells this workwear-inspired denim jacket that you can snag for under $40 right now. I like the utilitarian (yet minimalist) details, and the bomber-style silhouette, which makes this jacket suitable for the office or a dinner date too.
The above two jackets are authentic Levi Strauss pieces sold officially at Walmart. Though they are marketed as men’s jackets, they work for unisex styling too.
BEST VALUE
Edvintorg Winter Sherpa Denim Jacket
Looking to layer up for the chilly weather? Walmart also has this Sherpa Jacket on sale for just $23 (as of this writing). The jacket is made from a durable cotton blend material, with cuffed sleeves and faux shearling trim. The interior sherpa lining keeps you warm and cozy, while there’s a hint of stretch built into the jacket to keep you moving freely.
This isn’t a Levi’s jacket but delivers a similar look for (even) less. Choose from more than a dozen colors online.
As for most Walmart deals, the prices could change at any time so we recommend adding these items to cart while the sale is still live. See more details at Walmart.com.
