Denim wear on denim, this sure not a fresh topic anymore, we have seen denim tops paired with denim bottoms on a deluge of spring runways – from Ralph Lauren and Banana Republic, to D&G and Chloé. Even in Gap’s latest campaign, it’s all chambray shirts with jeans, denim vests with jeans, denim biker jackets with jeans. Oh, yes, denim is having it’s day.
And, sure, the models look cool, but how does the average woman rock the style without looking like a walking fashion faux pas?
“The trick with denim on denim is to make sure you’re mixing up both the fabric weights and the washes,” says Olivia Doyne, Gap’s director of engagement marketing and public relations. “For example, you could pair a light wash, lightweight chambray Western shirt with a medium wash skinny jean.”

On stylebakery, the stylist editor tell how to wear denim on denim
1. Wear different colors
The easiest way to wear double denim is to wear two different colors of denim like the chambray shirt and white jeans combination shown above. Blue with black denim is also a great look.
2. Wear different washes
When wearing the same color denim, it’s best to pair two different washes. A light shirt with darker jeans or a dark denim jacket with lighter blue jeans works well.
3. Break up your denim pieces
Break up your denim pieces with a belt or a shirt to avoid looking like you’re wearing the same color denim from head to toe.
