Double Down on Denim

Reading Time: 3 Minutes

Also known as the Canadian Tuxedo, double denim is a fashion trend that has been around for decades. While some people love it and think it looks effortlessly stylish, others believe it is a fashion faux pas, whatever your stance, double denim doesn't need to invoke images of Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake circa 2001. Selecting the right pieces, and styling them well can create a sleek look thats perfect for these transitional seasons.

With so many approaches and ways to style denim, your options are endless, but don't let that intimidate you, these looks can be some of the simplest to put together, and boast a perfectly polished look.

Nail the classics.

The simplest approach is a great way to start with the basics, opt for a straight leg jean, a denim shirt and a killer heel, and don't be afraid to play with proportion but always look for balance.
