Denim on Denim: The Secret to Contrast
One of the reasons I love denim so much (apart from being born in denim as a Hair colour type) is that every shade of denim naturally works with every other shade of denim.
That's exactly why I keep all my denim pieces, jeans, jackets, shirts, skirts, and shorts hanging together in one section of my wardrobe. It makes creating outfits incredibly easy.
The secret isn't whether you can wear double denim...
It's how much contrast you create between the two pieces.
If you love making a statement, pair a light denim with a dark denim. The higher contrast creates a bold, confident look that's especially flattering on my Vibrant and Eyes colour types, or women with theatrical style personalities.
If your style is softer, more relaxed, or understated, keep your denim pieces closer in colour.
A medium wash jacket with medium wash jeans, or a dark denim jacket with dark jeans, creates a low to medium contrast that feels subtle and easy to wear.
From there, you can control the overall contrast of your outfit with other layering pieces.
Like everything I teach, double denim isn't about following fashion trends.
It's about understanding the formula.
