Denim on denim, or combining separate jeans pieces in a single outfit is a style trend that continues to come back, season after season. I enjoy it as a stylish choice for looking put together, for kicked back weekends and casual occasions. You may also style double denim to look chic for more dressed up occasions — a trend that began on the street style blogs and is now moved into several women's daily outfits.
Styling head to toe denim does require practice, though — there are some tips which, if not followed, will make you look outdated, or like you just wandered in from the boonies. To help you avoid that fashion disaster, here are our go-to fashion rules for how to rock denim on denim now to create a fabulous, street style look.
Want to look confident and on fleek in double denim? For an simple, breezy look that broadcasts trendy fashion, try wearing slouchy denim separates together. Play with different combinations and fabric washes to pull together an outfit that feels like it suits your individual fashion look.
Not sure what goes with what? When in doubt, choose a light-weight denim shirt to match with a darker wash blue jean or denim skirt. Or perhaps try wearing matching denim items, for a confident denim tuxedo look, which is now in style in a big way.
A classic pair of shades, an on fleek leather bag, and black ankle boots, are the ideal accessories for keeping this vide in the now.
Denim on denim does look great when you change up your fabric choices. For a more updated, street style fashion vibe, try combining denim items in radically different denim washes, such as a combination of a classic, light blue jacket and dark black skinny jeans.
For the most body flattering outfit when you wear denim on denim, keep in mind that darker washes provide a slimming effect, while brighter hues of denim focus attention to the figure parts they cover. So if you're curvy below the waist, the most flattering outfit for you would be one that matches lighter denim on top, with a darker hue jean on the bottom.
For a cuter, casual look that is great for plenty of weekend enjoyment, from sports games to concerts and parties, layer a denim jacket on top of a sporty jean skirt.
You can wear a jean jacket with a denim skirt. Or try wearing a classic jean jacket with a distressed skirt for a rock-n-roll vibe, with a denim pencil skirt for a more traditional outfit, or select a long, flowing denim skirt for a hippy chic feel.
Whatever length of dress you select, keep your top simple with a laid-back outfit, in case you do unbutton your jacket at some point. Select a loose fitting, solid-colored tee-shirt or tank top. Finish your look with a pair of comfy flats and one or two simple accessories, such as a cute hat, bangle bracelet or stud earrings.
Going out with friends? You will turn heads and look downtown cool while you pair relaxed boyfriend jeans with a sublime crop top. This confident ensemble is perfect for layering with a denim jacket, for coverage when you are riding the subway, or when the temperature dips at night. Add your favorite accessories, like a great statement necklace, or intense ankle boots, to make this appearance your own.
If you are all about a streamlined skinny denim silhouette, try wearing an outfit of slim-fitting jean separates, in deep blue or black denim washes. The most critical thing to be aware of for this look is perfect fit, so be sure to select denim that hug your curves snugly, for a confident appearance that's flattering to any body type.
Surprise your co-workers with your fresh fashion style, whenever you wear a jean blazer and jeans to work, in place of a pantsuit. A structured, long jean jacket in a boyfriend fit, worn over slim ankle length jeans in a similar color, will look chic and fashion-forward at the same time. Dress it up for the office with a few primary accessories, that include a quality bag, high heeled shoes, and inspired jewelry.
A classic jean jacket is a fabulous layering piece, and comes in handy when you want to add pop — or casualness — to a monochrome outfit. This street style rock star layers hers over black
denim shorts and a black tee, quickly dressing up a casual outfit for city visits and shopping.
