Denim on denim, often referred to as the “Canadian Tuxedo,” has made a triumphant return to the fashion scene. While some might consider it a bold choice, it’s actually quite versatile and can be tailored to suit your personal style. I have personally been a huge fan of this trend and will never miss a chance of wearing it. I call it the “lazy girl trend” coz throwing on denim pieces together makes the most effortless, street chic outfit.
In today’s blog post, we’ll explore some tips and ideas on how to confidently embrace the denim on denim trend and make it your own. While the simplest way to rocking this trend would be to wear a denim shirt with a pair of jeans like this, but sometimes thunking out the box gets you brownie points. I have also included this fabulous denim outfit only for your inspiration.

So, go ahead, experiment, make this trend your own signature style and just follow these simple styling rules.
Mix and Match colors
One of the keys to nailing the denim on denim look is playing with different denim shades. Mixing light and dark washes adds depth to your outfit. In my ensemble, the long denim trench serves as the darker piece, while the barrel leg patched jeans provides a lighter contrast. This contrast can help break up the denim overload, while still maintaining a cohesive look. You can even mix black and blue denim or any color combination for that matter.
Experiment with textures
To elevate your denim on denim look, introduce textures like leather or even lace. My cutwork leather blouse adds drama and sophistication to the outfit- don’t you think? The contrast between the rugged looking denim and the sleek, edgy leather creates an intriguing visual dynamic. To break the monotony even further, I swapped the denim belt that came with the trench with that leather belt. The brown breaks but blends.
Accessorize thoughtfully
Accessories can make or break any outfit, and in my case, they add a feminine touch to balance the denim’s ruggedness. Floral high heels instantly elevate the look, making it suitable for various occasions, from a casual day out to a more dressy event. Don’t forget to carry a woven bag, which not only complements the denim but also adds a touch of bohemian flair. And, if its in a brighter color- then there is no looking back for me.
Confidence is key
No matter how well you coordinate your denim on denim outfit, the most important element is confidence. Rocking this trend requires self-assuredness. Remember, fashion is a form of self-expression, and your unique take on the denim on denim trend is what makes it stand out. I wore this outfit and got so many compliments from passersby ; it was like a public validation of this look.
