Where to start;
Black Spray On jeans and a blue denim jacket is a good place to start when experimenting with double denim. The change in colour from top to bottom means you’ll get a subtle double denim look that most people won’t even realise. Matched with a plain white tee and you’ll pull off the east London hipster. Pop your collar and add a toothpick and bam – you are Gosling in Drive!
Topman has a great collection of new patterned printed denim jackets available instore and online – our new snake print denim jacket is a great way to update the classic. Another good double denim look for this season is to go for acid wash jeans as fashion is currently taking cues from the late 80s and early 90s. Blue acid wash jeans and blue denim jackets matched together make for a really fresh double denim look. Or, if you’re feeling a bit adventurous you can match the acid wash jeans with an acid wash jacket so you wear the same kind of colour palatte head to toe.
What to avoid
If you wear a light coloured jeans with a shirt just a shade darker you risk going wrong with your look. Stay away from mid blues for your double denim, it’s a bit too late 90s/early 00s - remember this from Britney and Justin? Yeah… you definitely want to stay clear from that! Wearing a mid blue jacket and lighter jeans will just make you look a bit wishy washy.
STYLE TIP: The trick is either channel the same colour or go for a contrast between different hues – like all the bold fashion looks it’s best to either go the whole hog or don’t do it all.
How to add dip dye denim to the look
Dip dye denim is a look for the younger fashion minded out there – think early twenties hipster types. Laura gives it a big thumbs up to this look, saying it’s a really cool look for this summer. If you’re going to give it a go, she advises not to wear similar coloured jeans with dip dye, or you could risk looking a bit like a rocket lolly. Go for simple black jeans if you want to wear dip dye and don’t wear a denim jacket over it – triple denim is just a bit too much right now!
Is the look here to stay?
These looks just cover the basics, but once you get confident rocking double denim then you can start adding in ripped denim shorts or denim shirts to mix it up. Expect to see double denim in a big way this season and hopefully our tips will help you wear it well!
