How To Wear Double Denim

I was chatting with a girlfriend recently about double denim. She told me she likes the look, but when she tries it, it doesn’t feel right. She was wondering what she was doing wrong.

This is what I suggested she try…

Experiment with wearing different shades of denim together… (i.e. white jeans with a blue jacket)

Break the denim up with a belt, bag, jacket, jewellery, and/or a colored or textured shoe. *If you’re outfit doesn’t feel sophisticated enough, it could be how you’re accessorising.

Also, make sure the denim you’re wearing is a modern style, otherwise, your outfit could feel outdated.

If the denim feels too much, try wearing your jeans, skirt, or shorts with something chambray (which will be softer) on top…

..and of course, make sure the denim pieces are flattering. (Jackets that are long or have drop shoulders and wide sleeves, or shirts with big pockets on the bust, are not always the best options for everyone) That can also make you feel like something’s not quite right.

I also suggested to her that perhaps she likes the look of it on other people, but it’s just not for her. If she feels uncomfortable and self-conscious when she wears it, it might not be her style…
