Gigi and Bella, cheese and wine, primer and foundation – there are countless dynamic duos out there, but when it comes to seasonal fashion, there’s no better pair than jean jackets and fall. The outerwear piece is a staple for a reason, and with the temperature changes that happen from summer to autumn, finding a lightweight jacket is the key to any outfit’s success.
