There’s no doubt that denim is a crucial component of any fashionable woman’s wardrobe.
But what about wearing denim on denim?
While the double denim look may seem like a bold choice for your everyday look, you can be sure that a denim on denim outfit will make a statement and turn heads when done correctly.
Here’s everything you need to know about pulling off denim on denim—from the basics to the latest trends.

The Basics of Denim on Denim
A good starting point is to keep in mind that the key to making this double denim trend work lies in color and texture.
Choose two pieces of different washes—light or dark—and pair them together with an accessory to complete the look.
For example, if you have a light-wash jean jacket, try pairing it with dark-wash jeans and a light-colored scarf as an accessory.
Alternatively, if you have a dark-wash jean chambray shirt, try pairing it with light-wash jeans and some fun earrings or a statement necklace.
One major fashion faux pas is having denim accessories, a denim hat is out, as are denim shoes, that's way too much of a good thing!
