Summer Staple: The Denim Jacket

Now that summer has arrived everyone is rushing to get their summer wardrobe out but no summer wardrobe is complete without that staple denim jacket. It's the perfect lightweight cover up!

On the high street you can get a plain denim jacket from as little as £10. I was lucky enough to get mine from a local car boot sale a few years ago for a mere £1.50, but if I'm honest I practically live in it! It goes with everything from maxi dresses, to leggings, to floaty summer dresses and skirt, to even the double denim combo. It just makes an outfit look effortless. 

Some jackets can be a bit more pricey as they have been customised with that little extra detail. But why not give your old jacket a DIY update and customise it yourself, add some spikes and studs to it, or sew on badges, add some embroided trimmings to it. Anything will work this classic item!

Both these jackets are available from ASOS

Don't go fooling yourself thinking denim jackets are only for summer, they are very versatile for all seasons. Just throw on a jumper or a hoody and put your jacket on top and you are set to go for the more cooler months of the year.
