subject: Can I Wear Double Denim? [print this page] Fashion designers seem to be running out of ideas real fast these days. I was sure that double denim was dead and buried, but alas it is back, and back with a vengeance. So if you are one of those optimistic hoarders, get that old denim jacket out from that place deep in the back of your wardrobe, give it a dust off and see if you can make it work again. I am going to go over a few tips to help you make it look great for you in 2009-10.Do Double Denim (But Not the Denim Suit)
The key to wearing double denim this time around is to avoid the look of the denim suit. The good thing is some of the worst of the 80's such as the denim overalls are unlikely to come back this time around, so leave the old overalls under the bed this time round. However, you can still have the odd matching denim pieces this rule is only strict when it comes to matching jeans with a jacket. We are seeing a lot of matching pieces, shirts and shorts, shorts and mid drift tops, or jeans and hats. This goes without saying, but just to re-iterate, don't wear the jeans that match your jacket at the same time.Do Double Denim as a Fashion Statement
Double denim will only work as a fashion statement, so make sure you wear the most fashionable denim you can find. The Double Denim look is a fashion statement and you need to wear it like you are doing it on purpose. Don't look as if you just put on two pieces of denim because you couldn't find anything else to wear. Be eclectic in your denim choices and put your denim outfit together to make a statement.Do Double Denim with Accessories
Break up the endless sea of blue denim with accessories. Wide belts or scarves in the stunning tribal patterns that are also in fashion at the moment can help break up the sea of blue denim and maintain your fashionable look. Consider wearing a hat as an accent and match it to the colour of your shirt under a denim jacket. There are a whole range of colours in the denim range, so choosing two different colours will work best to break up the look. Women can accessorise with a brightly coloured handbag or one that matches their hair colour and shoes.Double denim is back. It does not have to mean a double dose of fashion faux pas though. There is new fashion in denim every year, and this year is no different, so make sure you are up to date with your denim pieces if you want to make your double denim a fashion statement.
