Trendy Ways to Wear Denim on Denim
Denim on denim, or the “Canadian tuxedo,” as it’s cheekily called, used to be a fashion faux pas. But in 2025, it’s back and better than ever, thanks to stylish takes from celebrities like Ini Edo, Tiwa Savage and other Nigerian street-style stars.
The trick? Balancing the look so it feels intentional, not like you raided a ’90s country-western closet or trying so hard to nail the trend without looking like a cowboy.
Whether you’re pairing a denim jacket with jeans or going full head-to-toe denim, here’s how to wear it with confidence.
1. The Denim on Denim Mix Washes for Contrast
The easiest way to avoid a costume-y vibe? Play with different shades. A light-wash denim shirt with dark jeans keeps things modern, while black-on-black denim feels sleek and polished.
– Pro tip: If you’re nervous, start with a chambray shirt (it’s softer and reads less like a “jean jacket”) paired with classic blue denim.

2. Break Up the Denim on Denim with Accessories
Too much denim can feel heavy, so add strategic accessories to break the monotony:
– A white tee tucked into high-waisted jeans with a denim jacket layered over.
– A bold belt, sleek loafers, or a colorful bag to add contrast.
– Sunglasses and minimal jewelry for a French-girl vibe.

3. Try Unexpected Denim Pieces
Denim isn’t just jeans and jackets anymore. For a fresh twist, try:
– A denim midi skirt with a cropped jacket.
– A denim corset top for a night-out look.
– A denim trench coat (yes, it’s a thing) over matching jeans.

4. Play with Proportions
Balance is key:
– Cropped jacket + high-waisted wide-leg jeans elongates your frame.
– Oversized denim shirt + slim-fit jeans keeps it relaxed but put-together.
– Denim shorts + a denim shacket for a perfect vibe.

5. Go Monochrome (But Keep It Interesting)
Matching head-to-toe denim can look ultra-chic if done right:
– White-on-white denim feels crisp and minimalist.
– All-black denim with a leather belt adds edge.
– Same-wash separates styled like a jumpsuit (add a belt to define the waist).

Confidence is Key: At the end of the day, denim on denim is about owning the look. If you feel good, you’ll look good, whether you’re channeling cowboy glam or a Parisian cool-girl aesthetic.
So, next time you reach for your favorite jeans, ask yourself: Why not double down?

Wizkid and Pharrell Raise the Bar for Male Fashion—and Possibly New Music
Is Wizkid hinting at new music? That’s the question his latest Instagram post has sparked. The images, captured alongside American musician, producer, and fashion designer Pharrell Williams, appeared without a caption, leaving fans to speculate. While it’s not confirmed whether new music is coming, the photos themselves highlight how both artists approach visual style.
Wizkid wears an all-black leather outfit, with a fitted biker jacket and tailored trousers that make an impression with their tailored fit. Pharrell Williams takes a different approach, pairing a satin bomber with wide-leg trousers that move freely, showing how fabric and cut shape his look. The black-and-white photos capture the textures, contrasts, and details of both outfits, making the differences between the two styles clear at a glance.

Wizkid’s all-black leather outfit maintains its sharp tailoring. A fitted biker-style jacket with a structured collar is paired with lace-up trousers and pointed boots. A chain necklace and tinted sunglasses add subtle details. The leather continues to define the outfit’s shape and clean lines, showing how careful cuts and material choices elevate the overall look.
Pharrell offers a contrasting approach. A satin bomber with graphic detail is paired with wide-leg trousers and solid sneakers, creating a relaxed shape that emphasizes movement and proportion. The satin introduces sheen, while the trousers provide balance through volume. Minimal accessories allow the focus to remain on the combination of cut, fabric, and shape.

Side by side, the photos show contrast between fitted leather and relaxed satin, structured lines and looser proportions, as well as different textures and volumes. Both looks demonstrate how fabric, fit, and design can define a look without relying on logos or branding.
Whether this collaboration signals new music or is solely a style moment, the images highlight contemporary approaches to menswear. They emphasize how tailored details, fabric choices, and proportions can make each outfit visually distinct, showcasing the thoughtful approach both Wizkid and Pharrell take toward their public image.

Oyindamola Nails an All-Denim Look With Edge

She wore a structured denim corset bodice in a light-wash blue. The corset is fitted and tight at the waist. It has visible denim designs: seams, panels and a repurposed denim waistband wrapped around her hips with a leather logo patch on it adding texture to the bodice. On top of the corset she wore a heavily distressed light-wash blue cropped denim jacket. The jacket is oversized with chest pockets, a wide collar and worn patches across the shoulders and front panels. It’s long-sleeved and it was rolled up a bit.

For the bottom, Damola wore a long mid-wash blue denim skirt with a thigh-high slit at the left side and a raw, unfinished hem that pools slightly at her feet adding a rough edge to the full outfit. She paired the look with a structured tote bag that matches her dress. She completed the look with a pair of denim pointed-toe heels that match the outfit.

Oyindamola accessorized her look with silver statement bangles on both wrists, a silver ring and a simple chain necklace. Her makeup was done by Ewatosin Makeovers and it was a soft-glam look with well-defined brows, neutral smokey eyes and glossy nude lips outlined with a darker line. Official flarehair styled her hair in a dark brown bob with flipped-out ends and a deep-side part that sweeps across her face.

Pieces are in different shades of blue, creating contrast.

Jackie Aina Wears Plunging Crystal Pink Suit to YSL Beauty Celebration
When Jackie Aina stepped out for the recent celebration hosted by Yves Saint Laurent Beauty, she arrived in a plunging crystal-embellished pink suit. She’s known for her sharp eye for beauty and branding.
The suit aligned with the brand’s identity and her perceived personality. Cut in a rich pink fabric, the color choice contrasted with her skin tone and the event’s evening setting. The blazer was tailored close to the body, with a deep plunging neckline exposing her midriff that replaced the need for an inner blouse or camisole. This design choice highlighted the craftsmanship of the suit and the crystal detailing that traced parts of the lapel and bodice.

Rather than scatter embellishments across the entire outfit, the crystals were placed strategically. The detailing of the jacket highlighted its shape and added texture without conflicting with the base fabric. Under event lighting, the stones created a soft shimmer that registered clearly in photos but still maintained its design.
The trousers followed the same tailored structure. High-waisted and fitted through the hips, they fell into a straight, slightly relaxed leg. With the blazer already detailed, the clean bottom made the look feel soft.

She opted for minimal jewellery, which allowed the crystal work to act as the primary accessory. Her earrings were delicate. She wore a Saint Laurent Amalia slingback pump. The pointed-toe structure of the heel gave off a sophisticated and classic look.
