Happy Monday, ladies! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are ready for a new week. Today is my last morning on Tybee Island visiting Kelly and my oldest. After I get this post out, I’m heading back to Athens. So in that spirit, let’s keep things super simple today and talk about how to wear this 1 item all year. And that item, of course, is a denim jacket.
Summer, Fall, Winter, or Spring, a denim jacket is an absolute must-have item. It goes with anything, anytime. And when you’re traveling, it’s the perfect layer to pack. Today, I’m featuring a cropped denim jacket from Banana Republic—a fresh take on an old classic.
The Summary

Wear This 1 Item All Year
1. Amelia Denim Flight Jacket
(Banana Republic)
Today’s featured item is Banana’s Amelia Denim Jacket. It’s a dark wash, which means it’s super versatile. You can dress it down with a pair of shorts and slides; or dress it up with a pair of khaki slacks and heels.
This year, high-waist pants are in, making this jacket the perfect accessory. Cropped jackets pair great with high-waist pants, and this one is no exception.

3. Fitted Ribbed Tank
(Banana Republic)
I’ve paired my jacket with this striped, fitted tank from Banana as well. For my regulars, you may have noticed I’ve been featuring Banana a lot this year. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: they have really stepped up their game lately and have separated themselves from a lot of the pack.
Make sure to check out my alternative stylings today: I’ve got my eye on a pair of riding pants from Banana too I just may have to feature in the coming weeks.

Hi Beth
I am glad you went to beach again.
The Banana jacket, looks super modern and pretty.
I agree with you the dark denim is better.
Thank you for sharing.
Don’t you think denim jackets are bulky to pack? I’ve never found a good way to pack them, other than wearing them.
Hi Beth,
Hope you had a wonderful beach vacation!
I have several denim jackets that I like, but they’re still a little heavy for me and stiff, although they’re not old. It may be time to update my collection.
I love the slides you feature, but $195? Wow! Are they super comfortable? I can see paying that price if they are comfortable because they sure look good!
Super cute outfit, Beth. Love everything about it! Thanks for taking time on your vacation to style this outfit for us. I’ve been a fan of Banana Republic as long as I can remember as well as the factory outlet and I totally agree with you.
I totally agree with you on Banana Republic–I’ve purchased a number of things in the past few months–they have a lot of really excellent items right now that to me really stand out. Good quality and style. Looking good, Beth!
