Do or Don’t Do Double Denim
Tuesday, 26 January 2010
Long before I embarked on a career as an Image Consultant I learnt from a very early age (as did many 80’s kids) that double denim was the ultimate fashion crime. Denim head to toe is not a good look on anyone unless you are auditioning for status quo. Stone wash 80’s double denim is the worst of all but even matching your dark and your light denim together is just pure wrong. Or is it?
The double denim no no is being given the yes yes by many celebs of late and is now set as one of the key trends for 2010 spring/summer YIKES!! And I have to say when you see the models on the D&G, Chloe and Ralph Lauren catwalks rocking the double denim look , I do think maybe we could do it too and do denim twice as nice? The high street is now full of jeggings, jackets, skirts, blouses and shirts all in denim so just in case you decide to go against all that you have learned about crimes of fashion, here are my top tips on how to wear double denim this season:
· Don’t go for the same weight of denim, layer different weights e.g. a heavier denim jacket with a lightweight denim shirt
· Break up your denim look with a wide belt. Belt your boyfriends denim shirt over your skinny’s add heels and away you go
· Team your denim with lux fabrics such as velvet, satin, silk and sequins for a more styled look
· Mix up the textures using patchwork denim teamed with frayed jeans etc.
· Mix up the shades of denim. Boys stick with the darker indigo or black jeans and team with blue denim jacket
· If in doubt do dark denim on your bottom half and light denim on the top
Good luck with daring the double denim look of the season!!
