Though the look is famously referred to as the "Canadian tuxedo," denim-on-denim outfits are here to stay. One swift look at designer runways and stylish It girls on the street-style scene and you'll realise, double denim outfits, from classic jean jackets and skinnies to mixed washes and even coloured denim styles, are at the forefront of casual-cool style. Understandably, however, the trending combo can feel challenging to pull off if you're not sure what pieces pair best together.
So, we're here to decode the double denim trend by providing you with 40 fresh denim-on-denim outfit ideas to try for Spring and Summer. Because we do, in fact, realise that tight or rigid jeans are probably the last thing you want to wear in the sticky heat, we've also included cooler variations of double denim outfits that centre around warm-weather staples, including denim shorts, rompers, and more feminine denim pieces like dresses, skirts, and tops.
Read on for endless outfit inspiration, and if you're in the market for some new denim pieces, we've included an edit of affordable styles from the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's. Double the denim, double the fun.
