If you’ve always assumed that double denim isn’t for you, you should think again.
This look is one of the year’s biggest and hottest trends, and in this article, I’ll show you how easy it is to look fantastic in double denim.
I’ve been requested several times to write an article about double denim and how to style it.
It’s one of the hottest looks right now, and as long as you follow the rules, it’s a universally flattering look.
I understand that fashion isn’t all about rules and dos and don’ts, but there are a few rules worth following when it comes to nailing the double denim look.
So, if you’re curious about what they are, all you have to do is keep reading.

Different Weights & Different Shades
If you’re new to putting together double denim ensembles, the easiest way to get started is to mix and match denims of various weights and shades.
Think wearing a pair of darker denim jeans with a lighter denim shirt. Mixing and matching different shades of denim is one of the easiest ways to really nail this look, especially when you’re initially starting out.
This gives you a head-to-toe denim look that’s just a little bit broken up, and it’s definitely the safest way to wear double denim.
Distressed Denim
Another easy way to make a double denim look work effectively is to make one of your garments distressed.
This merely helps to break up the look and make it look less like a denim uniform and more like a chic modern denim outfit.
I think about peering a pair of distressed denim jeans. Distressed ripped jeans paired with a white t-shirt and a classic cut denim jacket.
This is going to look fantastic, and as I mentioned before, the distressed element only helps to break up the look and give it a little more breathing room.
Accessories
Don’t be afraid to dress up your denim. Denim is often associated with more informal weekend wear, but it doesn’t have to be.
If we’re wearing double denim, one of the best ways to make it look good is to pair it with some excellent accessories.
Think a pair of stunning new season heels or a stylish pair of ankle boots. Pair your double denim with a pair of heels and a bold red lip.
It’s all about enhancing the look and taking it out of a more conventional casual space and making it look a little more dressed up and a little more elegant.
Break It Up
Also, don’t be afraid to break things up a little. Just because you’re wearing double denim doesn’t imply you’re wearing nothing else.
Think about breaking it up with maybe a red top and red shoes, or a white t-shirt or a striped t-shirt, or partnering your double denim jeans and denim shirt with a lovely blazer worn over the top.
These extra items just serve to break up the denim a little, but in an unusual way, they help to make the outfit more unified.
Incorporate a Statement Piece
When it comes to wearing double denim, think about it from a different perspective. Think a double denim outfit in the same way as a monochrome outfit.
So you have an outfit that is all the same tone and color. When putting together an outfit like this, you usually go for a statement piece.
That may be a splash of color in your shoes or in your handbag.
To really seal the deal on a double denim outfit, don’t be afraid to grab a statement piece.
No Denim Accessories
Another thing to avoid while wearing double denim is denim accessories.
Keep your denim accessories for your other clothes, whether they’re tote bags, baseball caps, or anything, but don’t wear them with your double denim outfits. It all becomes too much in the end.
Steer Away From Western Styling
Another thing to keep in mind is that if you want your double denim outfits to look current, up-to-date, and very this year, you should avoid Western styling.
If you’re wearing double denim, leave the cowboy boots and Western hats at home.
Of course, if that’s the look you want and it fits your lifestyle, go for it. However, if you truly want to wear double denim in a modern fashion way, I would avoid any Western influences.
Keep in Mind
Denim in various shades can also flatter your figure.
Denim in a darker tone will always be more slimming and appealing. A lighter shade of denim, on the other hand, will attract attention to that part of your body.
Remember the essentials when you’re first starting out, with darker shades slimming and lighter shades attracting attention.
If you mix and match things a little, it will not only flatter your figure, but it will also be a really simple way to begin wearing denim together.
