ALL IN THE DETAILS: Denim On Denim

Recently, the Style Gurus participated in a chat with 7 For All Mankind, a denim brand. One of our frequently asked questions was how to properly execute wearing denim on denim. This Fashionista displays this perfectly with her denim button-down and cutoff denim shorts. This textile is a classic because it can be worn in all seasons, so listen up and learn how to best execute such a fabric.

Throughout the summer, single-colored outfits have emerged as a trend, the most popular being all-white and all-black. Many Fashionistas/os have been extending this into other colors, but one must be careful with the styling of the outfit as well. This Fashionista paired her blue threads with black boots and a black backpack. Choosing black instead of a lighter color such as tan or white was a good choice because it is the closest to the color blue. It does not have to match, it simply has to go together and with the dark wash denim she wears, the black accessories create cohesion for the entire look. The blue socks are a great touch because they continue the blue color theme. The combination of the leather and denim creates a utilitarian look, an aesthetic exhibited by brands such as The Row.

This Fashionista takes a tip from 7 For All Mankind by wearing different washes of denim. This way she is able to distinguish each piece for itself, as well as connect them to the entire outfit. Many people make the mistake of wearing the same wash, then run the risk of looking like a dad.

How To: Blue or Indigo is possibly the best way to execute this look. Try this trend with a pair of overalls, which are back in style as these can either be paired with a denim jacket or denim button-down. The button-down may look a bit sleeker. For lighter washes pair it with white or tan shoes and a matching bag. Or like this Fashionista, you can pair dark washes with dark accessories.
