This potentially tricky trend looks chic when done by the book. Follow a few simple rules—it’s all about accessories and the combination of washes—and voila, you’ve got denim-on-denim done right. Take a cue from New York’s chicest style-setters: Pair a light-wash shirt with a darker jean and ladylike flats, or, accessorize your bleached out denim look with a classic leather handbag, nude buckle booties, and muted makeup. This spring 2010 carryover (remember Chloé’s ultra-stylish head-to-toe denim look from the Paris runway?) is still holding strong amongst New York fashion darlings. Mix new and vintage pieces for a thoroughly modern take on an American classic.
