Style tips: How to perfect the denim-on-denim look for fall and winter

The denim-on-denim trend, also known as the double denim or Canadian tuxedo look, involves wearing two or more denim pieces in a single outfit. It's a classic style that has seen resurgence in recent years, gaining popularity among fashion enthusiasts.

Key elements of this trend include core pieces like denim jeans and a denim jacket. Variations include pieces like denim shirts, skirts, vests, and even shoes can be incorporated into the look.

To style your look, you can mix different shades of denim for a more dynamic appearance. Pair a loose-fitting denim piece with a more tailored one to create a balanced silhouette. Add accessories like belts, scarves, or jewellery to elevate the outfit.

Here are some trending styles to watch out for:

• Denim on denim

The best way to wear denim this fall is to totally commit to the material. And thankfully, you don’t need to go designer to get the look. Buy a matching set or dress and shirt in denim and you’re on.

• Long jorts

We place so much emphasis on skirts, but try jorts. These extra-long jean shorts are ruling and rocking at the moment, and they perform the same function as midi-skirts. Style your pair with a leather jacket and loafers or a coat and boots.

• Barrel jeans

Barrel jeans are hard to get right. But when you do, they just hit the spot. The curved, wide-leg silhouette lends an edge to any outfit, making even the simplest pieces in your collection — button-downs, jackets, cardigans—standout. To offset them, keep everything above the waist fitted, and don’t go overboard on layers or accessories.

• Wide-leg jeans

Though last year’s craze, the look is here to stay — so why not embrace it? Wide-leg jeans are about adopting a less-is-more approach. Fitted tops and an oversized top layer is the way to go. Perfect for your autumn and winter jackets.
