We The Free Lemon Denim Jacket — Steel Sea

A denim jacket doesn’t have to be basic blue, and the Steel Sea wash is exactly what makes the We The Free Lemon Denim Jacket feel fresh. It has that cool, washed, slightly lived-in look that Free People does so well, while still being neutral enough to throw on with almost everything.

This is an easy fall layer over tees, lightweight knits and dresses — and a great option if you already have a traditional denim jacket in your closet.

WHY I LOVE IT

• Steel Sea gives classic denim a fresh update
• Washed finish has an easy, lived-in feel
• More interesting than a traditional blue denim jacket
• Easy to layer over tees, knits and dresses
• Works beautifully with fall neutrals
• Relaxed enough for everyday wear

DEAR LUCY EDIT

If you already own the classic denim jacket, this is where I’d go next. 💙

The Steel Sea wash is what caught my attention. It gives you all the versatility of denim but feels a little cooler and less expected than your standard blue jean jacket.

I’d throw it over a simple tee with relaxed denim + loafers, or use it to make a feminine fall dress feel a little less precious.

It’s the kind of jacket that looks better when you don’t overthink it.
