How To Wear Double Denim Like A Street Style Star…

<br />

Double Denim With a Luxe Touch

Double denim wasn’t just everyone’s favourite outfit combination in the 90’s; it’s still the favourite of street style stars all over. The key to the perfect double denim outfit isn’t just pairing two pieces together. It’s about creating the perfect silhouette to really get that balance between a casual summer outfit, and something incredibly trendy and chic. This is an outfit formula you are going to want in your arsenal this summer, so here’s how to wear double denim like your favourite street style star! Here are some key tips to keep in mind:

1. Keep The Fit of Your Denim In Mind
If you are opting for a double denim look with jeans like mine, make sure you understand the fit of your jeans! If you’re going for skinny bottoms, you might want to contrast this with a baggier top. If you’re going for a straight leg like me, make sure you add some definition to your silhouette with a belt or by pairing it with a crop top I’ve paired my Topshop Straight Leg Jeans with a Topshop Cropped Denim Jacket and a Zara crop top. Showing a little bit of skin helps to make your body look more elongated

2. Don’t Mix & Match Too Many Shades of Denim
Try to keep the shades of denim as close to each other as possible so that the outfit looks put together! You don’t want to see too mismatched; it ruins the effect!

3. Limit The Look To Two Denim Pieces
It can be tempting to go crazy and add in all the denim pieces you have but I would cap the look at two denim pieces and accessorise around that. Add touches of gold or fun statement shoes! What I love about that is that it’s a great summer festival outfit too; especially if you layer on some necklaces!

How To Mix High Fashion & High Street With Double Denim
As you guys know, I’m all about creating the perfect mix of luxury and high street for truly unique outfits! When it comes to denim, you don’t need to have the most expensive pair of jeans to make this outfit look luxe. My jeans are from Topshop and so is my cropped denim jacket! To make the look more luxe, invest in accessories. Here I’ve paired my new Prada kitten heels and my Dior necklace to add that touch of luxury to my look.

Tip: A designer pair of heels can elevate any outfit!

Why Denim On Denim Is The Perfect Outfit Idea This Spring

Denim on Denim this spring…

If you’re looking for an easy way to transition your wardrobe into spring, look no further than this perfect outfit idea; denim on denim! Denim on denim is one of those trends that come back year after year, so much so that it’s a staple outfit idea in all our minds! I love playing around with different shades of denim, and I also like pushing the boundaries! Most of us tend to think of the Canadian tuxedo when we think of double denim but when I share how to wear denim on denim, I think of other casual outfit ideas that will look as chic! In this look, I opted for a denim skirt with a denim duster coat. Two pieces that are so unique but make the perfect combination! I also love this Markus Lupfer sweatshirt. The blue details on the lips are so fun and match so beautifully with the denim!

A few key things to note when wearing denim on denim is that you don’t want to have too much of a contrast between your shades of blue! I would also limit the outfit to two denim pieces and make sure to have a piece that breaks up the outfit, like a white t-shirt or a sweatshirt like mine!

If you’re still looking for reasons why you should try this denim trend, I’ve got a few for you!

1. It’s a no-brainer outfit formula!
How many times have you looked at the wardrobe and not known what to wear? This is an easy outfit formula that just requires putting your favourite pieces together! A total no-brainer that is guaranteed to look good!

2. The perfect transition outfit
Transitioning your wardrobe from winter to spring can be a real challenge and we are experiencing some serious in-between weather, especially here in London! This is a great way to make the transition to your style and still be on point!

3. Unleash your creativity
Don’t be restricted by the Canadian tuxedo! There are so many more fun denim combinations than just a denim jacket and jeans. Try to work with your more unique denim pieces, like how I did with this Zara denim duster coat here!

How to Wear Double Denim this Summer

So how do you spice up double denim?

Double denim, the Canadian tuxedo, whatever you want to call it – it’s been around for ages! It’s a classic combo that never fails you but how do you take that go-to look to the next level? Here at TSS, a part of my mission is to inspire you to try something new and embrace fashion as a way of expression. I think one way of doing this, is taking something classic and adding a touch of personality to it. That is exactly what I did with the double denim trend. I didn’t just want it to be a regular denim jacket and a denim mini. Instead, I opted for embellished denim.

This jacket has to be one of my most favourite purchases recently. I fell in love with it when I saw the embroidery at the back! (Very Gucci right?) I loved that it even had adorable embroidery on the front hat said “Oui Oui”. All in all, this embroidered denim jacket from Joie stole my heart. To really elevate the look, I paired it with my favourite denim mini of the moment from Topshop. I love the racer stripes down the sides. They really give the look a sporty feel!

What do you think of my take on the classic?
