Denim Jackets

The denim jacket is something which has been constantly coming in and out of fashion for a good few decades, but we don't think it is ever not stylish, in fact we believe it is a wardrobe must have.
You might not wear it for 6 months of the year when the weather is arguably too dull to be wearing something that is often viewed as a summer item, but the denim jacket isn't something you have to buy every year, the majority of them last a long time.
We've taken photographs of different outfits with denim jackets for inspiration so you can wear yours that little bit more often! (If you're spending your hard earned cash on it you may as well get your money's worth).

Denim jackets are unisex items and so we thought we'd showcase our jackets on both a male and a female to show their versatility.

Double denim is something that can be very hard to pull off, and many don't even consider it. It can be done though! In the photos above (the bottom two of the set of four) you'll see that the outfit consists of a denim jacket, and then some skinny grey jeans. We'd recommend you try this mix as it works nicely together. It's best if your jeans are more fitted so that it allows for the jacket to be a bit baggier. We've teamed it with a floral top to add a more feminine touch.
Many people wear their jacket with hoodies which can give your outfit more of an edge to it, but once again, if you want to make it look softer, then add a floral top. It will instantly make your outfit fit for summer wear and you can buy then from virtually every high street clothing store.

Here's some of our favourite jackets from the high street.

Before you go out and buy a denim jacket though, make sure you check with family members if they have an old one hiding away, you might be pleasantly surprised!

What do you think to the double denim trend? Have any of you got denim jackets that have been given to you by family members?

Coachella

Coachella, the festival we wish we could go to, yet the festival that we (personally) have the least chance of attending. Possibly due to its prices- although the cost is probably on a par with many British festivals- but more likely the fact that it is all the way in California. But we can dream though, right?

This year's line up could make any non-attendee green with envy, with acts including Ben Howard, Foals, The Lumineers and Of Monsters and Men. Then top it off with beautiful weather so there's no getting drenched in the rain, whilst watching your favourite act, to then go back to a flooded tent (not fun). Surely it's the perfect festival?!

Possibly our favourite part of it though is the introduction of this years festival fashion! With magazines such as Elle USA covering it, and many celebrities attending, there's definitely something for everybody.
One key item that keeps appearing in photographs from the event is the straw hat. Bound to be very popular again this summer, make sure you don't miss out! One of our favourites is this particular hat from H&M, and for only £7.99 you can't go wrong!

Have any of you attended Coachella? Or are you going to any festivals this year?
Let us know.
