All About ABLE - Bailey Jean Jacket Outfits
Changing the Future of Fashion

When shopping helps change an industry and solve the problem of poverty, it's the best kind of feel good retail therapy.
ABLE will always have a special place in my heart. They were the first clothing brand to partner with me and the first brand that opened my eyes to the injustices that sometimes feel like an integral part of the fashion industry but don't have to be.
The seeds of ABLE were planted in 2008 when its founders began selling handwoven scarves to help Ethiopian women leaving the sex trade establish new lives and provide for themselves and their families.
The ABLE mission was born to create sustainable solutions through poverty and move the fashion industry forward.
Fashion is a global industry with a majority of female workers. But unfortunately in most fast fashion production, it’s incredibly rare for factory workers to receive a living wage and safe working environment.
When women around the world are provided with safe fair trade jobs, they can transform not only their families' lives but their entire communities.
ABLE is truly unique in how it is revolutionizing the fashion industry and creating a solution to poverty as well as dignified careers for women around the world in India, Mexico, and even right here in the US. All their jewelry collections are made in Nashville TN, and the stories of the women who have changed their own lives while learning new skills and establishing careers in the jewelry studio are so inspiring.
The Bailey Classic Jacket
Denim jackets are a hallmark of American fashion originating in the 1800s as a chore jacket for cowboys and ranchers developed by the iconic Levi Strauss. They’ve since evolved over the decades from boxy massively oversized 80s jackets to the tiny cropped fitted Y2K version.
A denim jacket is a versatile forever piece. (A friend told me yesterday, she’s still wearing hers from high school!)
There aren’t very many items that I’d say every closet needs because we are all so unique and so is our personal style. But a jean jacket is definitely up there as a piece that most of us will wear over and over again.
Right now we are seeing jean jackets trend back toward those boxy boyfriend oversized fits. The current trend toward baggy 80s and 90s style trucker jean jackets is so fun,
but it's not the easiest to style effectively. I also don’t expect this trend to stand the test of time. (Feel free to comment below if you disagree. I'd love to hear your thoughts!)
That’s why I think the Bailey is such a better investment. It’s a classic cut and slightly cropped just above the hip to help elongate your frame. It pairs easily with both pants and dresses/skirts. The soft fabric makes it a comfy go to that I reach for on the daily.
A classic jean jacket is always a staple, and that’s why I love the cut on the
timeless Bailey jacket.
I recommend
ordering one size up for a more modern fit
and
and extra room for layering. I like being able to layer a sweater underneath to extend the wearability of my jean jacket to all four seasons.
The fabric on the Bailey is ABLE's signature blend of cotton and lyocell for a super soft, perfectly worn in feeling. This also makes it easy to cuff the sleeves without tons of bulk. The wash is a faded blue without any actual distressing to make this jacket look like it's been your faithful friend for years already. This style also comes in a brand new white denim that is also 15% with my code!
