Tips & Tricks for Pulling off Double Denim- Use different shades of denim to break up your outfit. Try dark jeans with a light chambray top, or a denim top with black jeans.
- Try it with accessories. A denim bag or headband with a pair of jeans is an easy way to rock this trend
- Avoid looking costumey by shying away from anything western. If a costumey look isn’t what you’re after, skip pairing this look with cowboy boots, huge belt buckles, fringe, etc.
- Pair it with something feminine. A pretty headband, blingy earrings, floral print, and girly shoes will break up the industrial look of double denim.
- Be careful with 80s styling. Slap bracelets, fingerless gloves, crimped hair, or anything bedazzled can make denim on denim look dated.
Shirt, Jeggings, Flats, Purse, Headband
An easy way to pull off this look is with a light chambray work shirt and a pair of jeggings, similar to the outfit worn by Alexa Chung (pictured above). Complete this ensemble with simple ballet flats, a printed headband Coach factory outlet, and a big leathery purse.
Outfit #2: Distressed Jeans and a Vest

Beat up jeans have been popular for many seasons now, and look so chic paired with a tuxedo-styled dark wash denim vest. Finish with a pair of wedges and a gold necklace and ring.
Outfit #3: Black Jeans and Denim Jacket
Jeans, Jacket, Flannel, Shoes, Earrings
We’ve all heard the fashion rule that says you shouldn’t wear a denim jacket with a pair of jeans. But in reality, a denim jacket will look fine with a pair of jeans, as long as they are several shades apart. To break up the denim, wear a boldly printed shirt, like this flannel one, underneath the jacket. Finish with a cute pair of earring and some comfy moccasins.
