Denim On Denim

Double denim is a trend that has been around for decades and it’s one that wont be going anywhere anytime soon. So many people think that double denim or denim on denim, whichever you prefer to call it, is an absolute no no, however, when it’s done right, it can look amazing! Well double denim is one of my favourite combinations since my childhood days and now i am bringing it on for all of you to like it and experience the double denim fashion anytime soon.

When it comes to double denim, less isn’t more in my opinion. If you are wanting to try out this trend and are unsure on how to style it, it’s actually really easy! You just need to make sure that your pieces fit you perfectly. Pairing together a really baggy pair of jeans and an ill fitting shirt is not a good look, neither is the combination of a baggy denim jacket and bad fitting jeans. The key here is making sure your jean are slim or skinny and your shirt, jacket or vest is fitted. You need to make sure the cuts are slim, especially on the legs. I don’t think double denim ever looks good with really loose jeans, it’s much more suited to skinny fits.

So, these are the basic rules for getting that perfect double denim look and these work for both the men and women, you can’t really go wrong when following these, you are almost guaranteed to get it right. For those looking to elevate the denim on denim look to another level and make it a bit more interesting, I’ve also added some more tips below, and lots of photos for you to use as inspiration when creating your own looks.

POINTS TO REMEMBER

* Double denim for women comes with a lot more options than it does for men, for example, you can wear so many different combinations! Denim shirts, jackets and vests can go really well with skinny jeans, denim shorts, skinny flares and even denim skirts. You can wear denim shirts with dungarees or even layer denim vests over chambray dresses!

* The combinations are endless. If you want to go for a triple denim look, you can even pair your skinny jeans and denim jacket with a fitted denim shirt underneath, making sure that the washes are different of course.

* If you want to try something a little more on trend for this season, you can do double denim by tying a denim shirt around your waist so it falls over your skinny jeans or shorts, this works really well and it’s a great way to incorporate more denim into your look. This even works for dungarees or overalls, just tie the shirt around your waist and it creates a completely different energy. It’s sort of a throwback to the 90’s as those trends are coming back around, but in a more modern and updated way, it’s also much more muted and less overpowering.

* If you want to try double denim but you only have shades that are similar in colour, then one of the main ways you can make this work without looking dated is in the accessories. Try wearing a printed jumper/sweater under your denim jacket and some bold shoes, or layer on lots of jewellery, carry a big bag and wear some sunglasses or a hat. The important thing is mixing up the denim with other fabrics and colour, drawing the attention away from the block one colour denim. Layering over a coat or smart blazer also brings another classy element to double denim so it doesn’t always have to look casual.

* If I am wearing double denim, my absolute must have combinations are dark or light blue skinny jeans with a light blue denim shirt, vest or jacket. This always works because the lighter blue mixed with light as well as dark blue denim is a colour palette made in heaven! They complement each other incredibly well and look perfect! If you don’t have light blue skinny jeans, dark blue works just as well, just make sure your other denim on top is really light!

* Double denim can even be experimented with more by trying out prints or bright colours. You can wear denim in all different colours, as long as they go together, You could try white skinny jeans with a blue denim shirt, or even blue skinny jeans with a coloured denim jacket.
