STYLE ADVICE: Double Denim of the Decade

February 7th, 2017 at 2:06am

Twice as much denim is twice as much good. The only rule: make it different washes. Best to avoid a Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. The denim on denim or double denim trend has been prevalent for decades and is not going away any time soon. When done right, you have an amazing look like this Fashionista here. She rocks a vintage denim jacket from Sweet Joeys, a vintage apparel boutique in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Beneath, she puts on a gray turtleneck for extra layering. On the bottom, she pairs dark wash knee-cut jeans, a sliver of skin exposure adding a slight edgy vibe to match the polished leather booties, not just any black booties, but a pattern of snakeskin in the back. The jeans cuffed to reveal a lighter shade of denim to pull together the look all the more.

Mid-winter, she keeps a neutral color palette to her look with a subtle pop of burgundy in her Armani sunglasses. To brace the wind, she wears a classic hat and scarf duo: a pom beanie from a local community boutique show and a ribbed oversize scarf with mixed shades of grey. To pull it all together, fit for a day walking around campus, the Fashionista sports a black nylon backpack, a sizable bag fit for a laptop, notebooks, and your favorite pen. With this windy day, she makes denim on denim wearable and stylish with her layering and accessorizing.
