While it’s easy to put together, double denim is by no means easy to pull off. More often than not, the Canadian tuxedo takes a turn for the worse, making the wearer the subject of inquisitive stares and endless Britney and Justin jokes (you know what fashion moment we’re referring to). But that shouldn’t deter you from giving the all-denim-everything trend a try. The style has been spotted on a handful of celebs as of late, and let’s just say the effects were much more fierce than faux pas. Below, we’re sharing three celeb-approved double denim looks that you can wear anytime, anywhere, be it at work, on a GNO, or grabbing coffee with the girls on the weekend.
How to Wear Double Denim for Work

Opt for a smart denim blazer and a pair of wide-leg jeans that channel the polish of classic trousers. A ruffle neck or embellished collar blouse will balance out the casual vibes of the denim fabric, bringing an air of sophistication to your girlboss getup. Round out the look with printed heels for a pop of color, and a stack of elegant chain link bracelets that deliver just the right amount of daytime glamour.
