How To Do Double Denim Subtly With Coloured Denim

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 🙂
