How to Scorch a Denim on Denim Outfit

Denim on denim, or mixing separate denim pieces into a single look is a style trend that continues to come back, year after year. I love it as a stylish choice for looking pulled together, for laid back holidays and casual events. You can also wear double denim to look chic for more formal events — a trend that started with the street style blogs and has now moved into several women's daily wardrobes.

Styling top to bottom denim does take practice, but — there are some tips that, if ignored, can make you look out of style, or like you just stumbled in from the forest. To help you not experience that fashion disaster, here are our must follow style rules for how to sport double denim now to have a modern, street style vibe.

Desiring to look confident and up-to-date in denim on denim? For an easy, light look that telegraphs modern fashion, try wearing slouchy jeans separates together. Play with various combinations and fabric washes to put together an ensemble that fits like it matches your individual fashion look.

Not sure what pairs with what? If in doubt, select a lighter denim shirt to match with a solid wash jean or denim skirt. Or try wearing matching denim items, for a fabulous denim tuxedo look, which is now in style in a huge way.

A classic pair of sunglasses, an on fleek leather purse, and black ankle boots, are the ideal accessories for keeping this look in the now.

Denim on denim does look awesome when you mix up your fabric shades. For a more modern, street style fashion vibe, try matching denim items in radically varying denim washes, like a combination of a classic, light blue top and inky black skinny jeans.

For the most body flattering outfit when you wear denim on denim, keep in mind that darker colors provide a slimming effect, while lighter shades of denim draw attention to the figure parts they cover. So if you're curvy down below the waist, the most flattering ensemble for you will be one that matches lighter denim on top, and a dark hue jean on the bottom.

For a cuter, casual look that's great for plenty of weekend occasions, from baseball games to music and parties, layer a jeans jacket over a sporty jean skirt.

You can wear a jean bomber jacket with a denim skirt. Or attempt to wear a classic denim jacket with a distressed skirt for a trendy vibe, with a denim pencil skirt for a more traditional look, or choose a long, floor-length jean skirt for a hippy chic feel.

Whatever tractr jeans of skirt you choose, keep your top simple with a laid-back outfit, in case you do remove your jacket at some point. Select a loose fitting, solid-colored t-shirt or tank top. Finish your look with a pair of comfortable flats and one or two basic accessories, like a cute cap, bangle bracelet or stud earrings.

Partying with friends? You will turn heads and appear downtown hip when you pair relaxed boyfriend jeans with a sublime crop top. This confident ensemble is perfect for layering with a denim jacket, for coverage when you are on the train, or whenever the temperature dips in the evening. Add your favorite accessories, like a great statement necklace, or intense ankle boots, to make this appearance your own.

If you're about a sleek skinny denim silhouette, try wearing an outfit of slim-fitting jean separates, in dark indigo or black denim washes. The most important thing to be aware of for this look is perfect fit, so be sure to choose denim that hug your curves snugly, for a confident effect that is flattering to any body type.

Impress your fellow employees with your bright fashion style, whenever you wear a denim jacket and jeans to work, rather than a pantsuit. A structured, long denim jacket in a boyfriend fit, worn over slim ankle length denim in a similar hue, will look chic and fashion-forward at the same time. Dress it up for the office with a few key accessories, that include a quality bag, high heeled shoes, and inspired jewelry.

A classic jean jacket is a great layering item, and comes in handy when you want to add pop — or casualness — to an all-black outfit. The street style rock star layers hers on top of black jean shorts and a black tee, quickly dressing up a casual outfit for big city events and shopping.
