Double denim (or denim on denim) is a look some find a little too matchy-matchy, which I can completely understand. But if you’re hesitant and want to try it, all you need to do to ease yourself in is simply pair coloured denim with your traditional blue – blue with white, blue with red, etc. – the easiest combination being a denim jacket and coloured jeans. It then looks a lot less like a denim “suit” and is easy to style.
So I went with my fave denim jacket and white skinnies – perfect for a cooler summer day. The colourful additions to this outfit were my trusty coral brogues (these ones are almost identical) and a gorgeous hand painted silk scarf I was kindly gifted by Lush Scarves, who specialise in handmade scarves. The one I chose was the Lava Marine tie-dye scarf – it’s so pretty and soft!
Are you a fan of the double denim look? And if not, would you consider the more subtle “denim on coloured denim” look instead…? Let me know in the comments!
Happy Friday everyone – it’s the weekend!! Thanks so much for dropping by 🙂

What a vibrant outfit, Catherine! 🙂 You look great.
Although I'm not really afraid of the double denim look, I think I prefer wearing coloured denims on the bottom and a denim jacket/shirt.
I've got to admit, I didn't think double denim could or should work. But I have to say, I love this outfit. It really does work! You look great x

Thank you for linking up for Passion For Fashion!
I love that scarf and your nail polish is awesome!
such a fun combination, love it!
Really useful and concise little tutorial … not out of reach, practical and you look amazing as always. It's these little ideas that make paying attention to wardrobe interesting. Process!
it is the blue on blue that makes me hesitate. Blue on white or white on blue is much better to my eye. Great job.
Great outfit, love this combination 🙂 whoo your red shoes are just me.
Thanks for sharing atthe hops x

Gorgeous! The nails are super fun, too. 🙂
LOVE the shoes and the scarf and the nail color…just plain LOVE your whole outfit. Denim is one of my favorite fabrics. So versatile.
I love your look; IMHO it doesnt look like denim on denim at all! I think of double denim like a leisure suit done in denim…lol xoxo

I love the combination of that shirt with the jacket.
Your scarf and blouse were just made for each other! D on D…done right looks awesome, done wrong eh not so much. I get to see a lot of D on D here in Texas, both the good and the not so good. :o)

Love this denim combination. White jeans are always wonderful. xoxoxo
I love it! I've always been a fan of denim on denim, even if the whole outfit is blue denim. Here, it's subtle yet gorgeous and chic! This is a perfect outfit for a cool night. Unfortunately, where I am, I'd be sweating like crazy in that!
Have a great day, Catherine!
