As everyone knows, denim is something that just never goes out of fashion, but this doesn't just have to include a trusty pair of jeans. If an style of clothing exists, someone somewhere will have tried to make it out of denim - baker boy hats, cowboy boots, you name it and trust me, you can purchase it in some corner of the internet. If you're after something a little more tame, though, here are some slightly more everyday looks.

| Jumpsuit; mini bag, both ASOS. |
I buy most of my clothes from the ASOS own-brand clearance sale, partly because I'm a cheapskate and partly because you can pick up some truly good-looking and good-quality and pieces at near-criminal prices.
This wide-leg jumpsuit with buckle fastening set me back a mere £13.50. I often wear it in my constant (ultimately failing) pursuit to look as if I've just stepped out of the '70s.

| Zip-up dress, ASOS; blouse, H&M. |
Another ASOS steal comes in the form of this pinafore-style dress, bought at just £10.50. I like to layer it over print skirts and dresses or a roll neck jumper, and its zip emulates an on-trend retro style. Plus it has pockets. Actual, real pockets, not just fake, decorative ones. Win-win.

Dress, Topshop; knitted sleeveless jumper, Oasis; belt,
Stradivarius; headphones, United Colors of Benetton. |
The Topshop sale did me good with this one. Although admittedly a fairly basic mid-wash pinafore, this dress has endless potential; dress it up with bright lipstick and matching heels or single-handedly bring back double denim by throwing on a denim jacket or by layering a jean shirt underneath.
And speaking of denim jackets, no wardrobe is complete without one. There are few outfits one doesn't go with. Even a fancy dress can be given a bit of an edge by teaming it with your favourite reliable denim outerwear.
