Heya, 

I am back once again with an outfit post. It’s the half term and things are looking a bit more summery so I thought I’d share with you one of my summer essentials. 

This is of course a denim Jacket. Now denim Jackets have been around for a very long time and that's why they are such an essential.They never go out of fashion and every Summer you can pretty much guarantee they will be on trend so they are worth investing in. 

Now I actually have a couple of denim Jackets but my go to for the summer is my light blue Levi jacket. This was actually one of my vintage purchases so is not a typical denim jacket which you would find in  a high street shop. I personally love this jacket as its super casual which I think works well as a summer jacket. Because of its style to its also very comfy as it is not fitted as such and even works well for layering garments underneath. 

The light colour of the jacket is also one of the reasons I love it for the summer as I feel that its more of a cheerful and light colour and tends to go more with the clothes I wear in the summer, whereas my dark blue denim jacket suits the darker tonnes I would be more likely to wear in winter months. This is a personal choice but I do tend to wear more light blue denim in the summer and I also feel it tends to complement tanned skin also. 

In the images I have actually put a couple examples of me wearing my light blue Levi denim jacket. I love this jacket as I feel you can literally change the style of it depending on what you put it with and it will still look good and work with a whole variety of styles. This is something I am particularly keen on as I tend like a lot of styles and don't have a particular 'image' as such. 

In this example I actually went for a day out in London to Brick lane. It was a very hot day so wanted a light and comfortable jacket but also wanted to look stylish and have a jacket which would mean I wasn't too cold when walking around. 

I paired my denim jacket with a bold pink tee and black cigarette trousers. Whats great about a denim jacket is it pretty much matches any colour so you don't have to worry about what you are wearing underneath it. 

I also chose to accessory my jacket slightly with a vintage elephant brooch which I had in order to match my bag and create a slightly more vintage vibe as brick lane is famous for that style. 

My particular jacket has lots of pockets which is another thing which most denim jackets tend to have. This is particularly handy as I was able to keep things like my train tickets in a pocket whilst still being able to walk around with my hand in other pockets. 

To add to this my jacket has button fastenings. This is the most common features on denim jackets however you can get denim jackets with zips. I personally prefer the style of buttons on denim jackets and think that zips are more suitable for leather jackets. However if you are someone who likes to have your jacket always done up this might be something you want to think about. 

I paired my outfit with one of my all time favourite bags. This was my skinny dip rocket clutch bag. Now firstly this bag is of course amazing. It shines, lights up and just purely looks fab. But it also has a chain which makes it way more practical. As well as this inside it has a zip pocket so is very useful. This bag can literally completely change a look though and make it look that little bit more exciting and special and paired with a plain denim jacket it can work really well.
