Fresh and Cool Ways to Wear Denim on Denim

After years of relentless teasing, denim on denim has worked its way back into the trend cycle as a chic multi-purpose look. Once relegated to the ranks of faux pas, this is now touted for its modern appeal and endless ways in which it can be styled. Whether you're feeling all retro 90's or into that modern take, denim on denim can be chic, effortlessly cool. But how do you pull off double denim without looking-or feeling-like you're in a western movie? It is all in the styling. The key is to mix and match different washes, cuts, and styles to create a look that's uniquely yours.

For those just trying to get on board with this trend, classic combinations can be a very gentle immersion. From the all-time favorite indigo jeans and jacket combination to the boldest of them all, featuring contrasting denim pieces, here's how you do denim on denim like a total boss and make a statement in this trend.

Matching Selvedge Denim

A coordinating denim top and pants, in a selvedge wash like this one, forms an unbroken line along the body for a seamless look. It's sort of an optical illusion-one might think you were in some kind of urbane jumpsuit. For just about any occasion, it can be a most sophisticated choice.

Black Denim on Black Denim

Double black denim isn't the most classic interpretation of the tuxedo, but undeniably, it's a statement. You can choose blacks with a similar wash for a more streamlined effect and with less casual overtones than a typical indigo tuxedo. Good to wear for a night out or a modern office setting.

Mix Denim

A pairing of light denim on top with darker denim at the bottom is one of those outfit formulas that never seems to run its course. Add a classic white tee and your favorite sneakers to keep things casual and laid-back. This balances relaxed with put-together in equal measure.

Contrasting Denim Top

An oversized contrasting denim top, like this style from PTCL, makes for a fun and chic match with pretty much any denim bottom. Experiment with different washes and cuts to add some whimsy to your look.

Denim Crop and Jeans

Team a cropped denim top with high-waisted jeans for that perfect flattering, youthful silhouette. This is a good choice if you have one or a few favorite accessories you would like to showcase, or even a big, bold statement necklace.

Denim Vest and Jeans

Because of their patchwork details, both pieces in this outfit could feel a little busy on their own; together, however, they create a pretty grounded, cohesive look. Throw on a denim vest over your favorite jeans for a cool, layered effect.

Denim Skirt and Denim Shirt

Double denim works in skirt form, too! Pair a midi-length denim skirt with a contrasting cream-colored denim top for a fun, bold look. This is ideal for any casual day out or a stylish brunch.
