Jessica Alba Is Persuading Us to Ditch Denim Jackets for This Sleek Layering Piece Instead

When winter turns to spring, there’s a good chance you’re reaching for your go-to denim jacket as an additional layer. But if you’re growing tired of denim and want something more elegant, Jessica Alba is showing us what to reach for instead.

While visiting a tattoo shop in Los Angeles, the actress was spotted wearing a few spring staples, including a white tank top, relaxed pants, and the layer we’re dying to try: a bomber jacket. She styled the look with white sneakers, a tote bag, and chunky jewelry.

Because of the oversized silhouette, bomber jackets are ideal for layering during unpredictable spring weather. Though lightweight, these jackets are dressier than denim, thanks to the sleek fabrics often used in their designs. Sarah Jessica Parker is a fan of the layer, too.

Ditch denim with these fashionable bomber jackets available at Amazon, Nordstrom, and more — they start at just $38.
