New Denims

Denim is big this season and perfect transitional fashion, here are the No Debutante faves of the season..... 

Geek Chic Cuts
From geeky half mast crops to extended turned up hems the jeans cut continues to stay creative and fun in dark indigo shades to retro stonewash fades there, is a lot to choose from. Check out Ader Error and Unif for alternative style inspo. 

The Ultimate Denim Jacket
 It's not just about jeans, the denim jacket is still around in vintage oversized, shearling style denims or jackets updated with added ruffles and embroideries as seen at Monki.

Boys in Blue
The crop Dickies style jean is popular with the boys this season from 80s stonewash, 70s patchwork or 90s indigo's, whatever your preferred decade from the catwalk fashionistas to street style lovers, it has to be cropped or turned up this winter, preferably with a pair of white sports socks underneath. 

Jumpsuits are here to stay
With dungarees looking as strong as ever, the denim boilersuit has confidently become this seasons dare to wear staple. Not just for the brave the denim boilersuit comes in fitted styles, is super comfy and will keep you warm over the colder months, wear yours with a colourful poloneck underneath, same goes for those jumpsuits and dungarees.

Retro Inspo

With retro sportswear and streetstyle heavily influencing and inspiring the catwalks, the sportswear styling has now made it to denim jeans with go faster stripes at Monki to a 1970s vibe added to styling with Adidas gazelles and sports tops and that shearling style denim jacket, denim styled  up with brights colours and stripes are a looking good this winter. 

Debutante Denims

From an oversized denim slip and tasseled crop jeans from Monki to vintage cut 1950s jeans from Vivien of Holloway, these pieces will see me through all through the winter with added long sleeve tops, jackets,warm socks, Dr Martens and perhaps a little bit of double denim. Watch this space!

Retro Denim

No Debutante Loves Denim Jackets. Whether layered up grunge style with oversized tees, cute denim waistcoats over pretty dresses or preppy modern vintage 1940s jeans, the denim jacket is the perfect transitional jacket and can be worn over jumpers or under larger jackets and coats, you cant go wrong. 
How about a denim coat? These were all over Topshop last winter but mine is an original from the 1970s which I bought in the Bristol vintage shop Uncle Sams during the  nineties. I found the Wrangler denim jacket in a charity shop (also in the nineties) it is oversized, faded and frayed and this is from general usage not a mass produced customised style that the high street might churn out. In contrast to the mass produced denims check out the plaid / denim mix oversized shirt  upcycled by the Bristol upcycle queens Fix Up Look Sharp, giving a new look to an old denim shirt. The denim waistcoat is from Primark and is a cute alternative and really looks great layered over my smock dresses. Get wearing those vintage denim jackets fashionistas xx

All clothing from Uncle Sams, UK charity shops, Fix Up Look Sharp, Primark, Maui and sons, Dr Martens, Freddies of Pinewood, H&M, The White Pepper and Topshop.

The A Team

I have owned my current A-line skirt for over a year. It's from Topshop and is a little bit too big for me if I'm honest but I just love the cut and the length. Being a fan of A-line skirts I have owned a few of the years, either in mini or midi lengths they have a flattering and retro cut that I love. Whether you are inspired by the late sixties, early seventies or the 90s A-line trend, there are lots of A-line skirts on the high street at the moment and I would definitely recommend checking out thrift shops for midi versions. I am a big fan of the denim A-line skirt but I am loving the St Laurent groupie inspired suede and patchwork versions too. All reputable vintage shops will have a whole rail of these babies available at a price that will match Topshop and Urban Outfitters but will be original 60s and 70s vintage. I would recommend visiting vintage shops to get an original, one off vintage item.

I am loving Alexa Chung's A-line denim mini from her new fashion line and the pale denim 1970s inspired midi version from The White Pepper's Summer 2014 range. Topshop have also launched a great fashion story for their latest collection of 60s / 70s inspired pieces including the denim and suede versions below styled up a treat with snug denim jackets, ankle socks, wedges and long straight retro inspired hair. I love the styling!!!

My outfits show you a few ways I have worn my denim A-line skirt recently. I am  really inspired by the collection of A-line skirt images below so watch this space for more A-line skirt styling and join us in the A-team for more fashion fun!
