THE DENIM JACKET

The denim jacket is back!

A long time favourite of Kanye West, the hottest jacket for spring is making an appearance in nearly every high st store. The double denim trend has been going for a couple of years now since denim shirts came back, making denim acceptable attire for your top half. What will make denim jackets easier to wear than the denim shirt however is the popularity of the chino. Men are no longer restricted to wearing denim jeans which means that for those of you who fear looking like a Bros tribute act (look up 1980's boy bands) need not worry.

As Mr West has demonstrated through his love of this latest trend, chinos and denim jackets actually work well together.

The high st has a range of washes and styles to choose from. Dark, raw denim washes will give you the greatest flexibility of a day/night jacket but light washed denim will look amazing with chinos and chino shorts through the sunny days.

If you want a vintage jacket then check out Urban Outfitters or Topman's vintage sections as they usually have loads of denim jackets to choose from. Alternatively, scout around your local charity shops. I found a great denim jacket in one of my local charity shops for just £7!

GET THE LOOK


I've never really noticed Chris Martin's style before so was slightly surprised to take interest of what he wore to yesterdays Q Awards. Coldplay won The Best Act In The World Today award which I'm sure will split opinion, but to be honest I'm more interested in Chris Martin's outfit.

I love the mix of colour from his tshirt to his watch. Here are my high st finds to get the look.

TOPMAN £30
AMERICAN APPAREL £15
CASIO @ URBAN OUTFITTERS £22
RIVER ISLAND £45
DIESEL @ USC £117

MUSTARD


Mustard is my favourite colour at the moment. It's a great colour to liven up your winter wardrobe without being too brash. It was seen in numerous A/W collections including Burberry and Jil Sander and is all over the high street. Also the colour looks set to be big in Spring 2012 so buy pieces that can be transitional.

Here are a few delicious mustard pieces from the high st.

BURTON £15
ASOS £36
RIVER ISLAND £30
AMERICAN APPAREL £38
ZARA £149
PULL AND BEAR £5.99
HUMOR SANTIAGO @ URBAN OUTFITTERS £69
RIVER ISLAND £18
