Since the return of the denim tuxedo, the denim on denim look has been long forgotten. Mainly because denim on denim is one of fashion’s toughest, yet most stylish, looks to pull off. Normally guys opt for the basic jeans and basic T-shirt combo, but this Fashionisto dared to take on an “all-denim everything” ensemble. The minute I saw this Fashionisto, I was completely taken aback by how effortlessly he not only paired his denim pieces, but also by his choice of footwear. What else is there to say—this Fashionisto is a denim daydream!
As we all know, waking up in the morning and deciding on what to wear literally takes a million, if not a billion, years. From “does this pattern match that one?” to “but these colors make me look like a walking Christmas tree”—trust me, I understand your struggle. We’ve all been there and done that, haven’t we? But what if I told you that it could be as easy as sticking to one color or fabric? Like wearing all-black or all-white… or maybe even all denim. Voila! Hours upon hours of your morning routine are instantly saved for more time in bed to scroll on Instagram (#yourewelcome)! Following our Fashionisto’s lead, the best and easiest way to stick to one color is to pair different shades of that one color. Simply keep it hue-friendly! This means that your denim top should be either a lighter or darker shade than your bottom, which saves so much time because you no longer need to find matching hues. Just throw a denim shirt on and pair it with a different shade of denim skinny jeans like this Fashionisto did, and you’re good to go!
But this Fashionisto didn’t stop there. He made his look just that much more memorable by his choice of accessories. Although most guys would opt to pair their all denim looks with a pair of classic brown brogues (which we ladies are definitely not complaining about), this Fashionisto goes for an even bolder statement and opts to pair his look with a pair of white salt washed sneakers. The contrast between the denim, white slip-ons, printed socks and gold vintage Casio watch is perfect. This Fashionisto’s shoe choice was a surefire way to stand out in the crowd and make his outfit a hundred times more memorable. Bravo, bravo, bravissimo!
How To: Head over to the nearest thrift shop, and grab a pair of denim jeans and any denim top. Like I said earlier, don’t worry about matching the hues of denim to each other because mismatching hues is key in this look! If a completely denim on denim look is too much right away, try a denim tuxedo first, and then slowly work your way over to a completely denim ensemble.
