Ever worried about wearing double denim? Or asked yourself whether it was even possible to wear one fabric from head to toe whilst remaining stylish? Well, worry not. Double denim is the ultimate look for this summer (or winter). Rest assured, any uncool stigma that has previously been associated with wearing double denim is basically no longer prevalent and can easily be avoided. Thus, pairing denim on denim has quickly become the go-to look on the street. This quintessentially casual fabric is perfect when coupled because its versatility is limitless.
Initially, when thinking about this trend you probably had flashbacks to Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake’s denim ensemble from the 2001 American Music Awards. Am I right? However, flash-forward and today it has become a polished and classic model-off-duty ensemble. For example, think Miranda Kerr’s street style look: a classic denim shirt paired with a sleek skinny leg jean in a complementary denim color. The key to keeping this trend looking fresh, smart and stylish is to follow Miranda’s example by pairing complementary colors and shapes.
Similarly, this Fashionista also nails the new take on double denim. She keeps things looking sophisticated by wearing a skinny leg jean with a fitted, button-up denim shirt. Although new cuts, from the mum jean to the sporty denim jogger or drop crotch, are fast becoming the jean staple of many, by wearing the classic skinny cut jean, this Fashionista keeps this looking modern and completely avoids that dated, uncool stigma. Skinny leg jeans are also flattering on all figures and can be dressed either up or down. This Fashionista also keeps this look fresh with big and bold accessories, which keeps the outfit interesting and draws attention to other elements in the outfit.
What’s your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “My main focus with double denim is to pair the look with big accessories like a chunky brown bag, heeled boots, and a statement watch. I believe this helps to keep the look interesting and assists in drawing attention to other elements of the outfit, so the focus is not just on the fact that your wearing head-to-toe in a matching fabric.”
