Double Denim


Double Denim is a tricky subject area. Every decade since the 70s has experienced a fashion movement based around double denim. From Jeans and Shirts in the 70s to Mini Skirts and handbags in the 90s (a la spice girls).

I think there are ways of wearing double denim very well, but there are many more ways of wearing double denim terribly. We must remember that since the 90s we are no longer talking just blue, white or black denim, but instead we have a whole spectrum of shades to play with. My proposal for double denim wearing is as follows; grey skinny jeans and a pale denim jacket- OK (only just, but acceptable), Blue on blue never.

I suppose denim accessories is where i have my real issues. Unless you are an art student, you should not be carrying a denim bag. And unless you are a fifteen year old skater, you should not be wearing denim trainers- converse or not.

In general, unless you are Dolly Parton, an art student, or in the 90s- leave double denim alone.
