10 Denim on Denim Outfits to Try Tomorrow
Take this trend to a new extreme with these fun, fashion-forward ideas.
Denim on denim outfits, occasionally called Canadian Tuxedos, have solidified their spot one of our favorite easy-to-wear, everyday looks. Simply take any pair of jeans you own and mix or match them with something denim up top — it's essentially as easy as that. While those flares and boot-cut bottoms are already strong standalone pieces, wearing them with items made of the same material creates an unmatched fashion statement.
Of course, celebrities have been pulling this specific styling move for decades. Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears had the right idea at the 2001 American Music Awards. More recently, icons such as Dua Lipa, Gwen Stafani, and Priyanka Chopra have jumped on board, wearing their own all-denim ensembles 20 years later.
You don't need a red carpet, or even a special occasion to give it denim on denim a go. Keep scrolling for 10 outfit ideas worth recreating, ASAP.
Mix Up the Classics
While blue denim combos may be more common, you don't have to stick with the traditional when trying this trend. Go ahead and choose a bright colored set for a fun, monochromatic moment.
Look for Embellishments
A quick way to switch things up is with embellishments, such as jackets and jeans with beading or sequins. Should you be in the mood for a DIY project, you can even grab old denim items from your closet and embroider them with pearls on your own.
Go with Two Different Washes
Mixing washes can be intimidating at first, but the key is to not overthink it — and to accessorize. For instance, if you plan on wearing dark and light denim together, style a light brown belt with your look to break up those blue hues.
Rethink Your Denim Skirt
Cue that early '00s nostalgia. Despite sitting in our drawers for a few years, denim skirts have slowly been making their return. Take this trend into the modern world by adding coordinating jacket and your favorite comfortable sneakers.
Try a Print
A print or some patchwork can be the key to elevating a classic denim on denim outfit. Since the material creates a bold look all on its own, keep your shoes and accessories somewhat simple — solid booties and a metallic clutch will perfectly top things off.
Add Interest with Texture
Faux fur accents and fleece-lined jackets will do more than provide extra warmth — these details also add element of luxury and create interest, too. Take things a step further with a whimsical, ruffled denim skirt, or tone down your look with basic bottoms.
Dress Up
Denim shirtdresses are casual enough for everyday wear and often work as an individual, one-and-done piece. However, if you're hoping to spice things up, layering on a denim shacket is a quick way to do so.
Overhaul Your Overalls
This one-piece wonder used to have a reputation of being juvenile, but fashion lovers know that with the right extras, overalls can feel fresh and fashion-forward. Mix things up by pairing this timeless piece with a denim blazer, then choose a bright pair of heels to provide a fun little pop.
Wear a Jumpsuit Instead
Should you still feel unsure about the whole denim on denim thing, a full jean jumpsuit is a great way to fake the trend. Add a belt to break up your look and accentuate your natural waist, and if you're feeling extra daring, opt for denim accessories, such as a coordinating purse or even a bucket hat, for an unexpected twist.
