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?

The Weiz Dhurm Franklyn Dress Worn by Mimi Yina Is a Work of Art
Mimi Yina was seen recently in a dress by Nigerian designer Weiz Dhurm Franklyn, and it was unique one. The hot pink colour was the highlight of the gown, but the details of the outfit are what makes the dress noticeable.

The dress has a dramatic high-low silhouette, with a short, fitted sequined skirt visible at the front and a long flowing train that falls to the floor. The gown appears to be made from a pleated fabric, giving it a voluminous texture. It has a halter-neckline and is designed with large flora-shaped bows, one at the waist and the other one near the knee.
She paired the outfit with simple silver strappy heels and minimal jewelry. Everything worked well with the strong outfit. Her hair and makeup were kept neat and natural.

The outfit design is distinctive. Weiz Dhurm Franklyn took a different approach with this piece, especially in how the details of the dress were handled. On mimi the dress suited her, like it was meant solely for her. With the bright colour adding more character to the overall look.
With bold colours and heavy details becoming more common, this dress still stands out because of how well it was put together. Nothing feels random, from the pleats to the bow placement.

Rema Shows How to Wear Black and Reveals His Mother Prefers Decent Outfit
Divine Ikubor, better known as Rema, has built a reputation not just for his music but also for his personal style. In a recent interview, the Nigerian Afrobeats star shared his approach to fashion, especially his preference for black, and revealed how his mother influences the way he dresses.
Rema often starts with the basics, choosing black pieces as the foundation of his outfits. He explained that black allows him to build looks that reflect his personality without unnecessary distraction. This approach appears consistently in his streetwear, stage looks, and public appearances. He pays attention to details such as accessories and fit, combining comfort with a sense of personal expression.

Family also plays a role in his choices. Rema said his mother values him dressing in ways she considers responsible and presentable. He described this as guidance rather than limitation, a reminder of his upbringing and the values that shaped him.
In discussing style, Rema noted that clothing is a form of self-expression. He also touched on relationships, explaining that while financial stability matters, style and presentation are more important when considering a partner. This perspective mirrors his approach to fashion: thoughtful, intentional, and grounded in personal standards rather than trends or external pressures.

Rema – Instagram
Rema’s comments provide insight into how he balances public image and personal values. For him, fashion is more than appearance; it is a way to express identity, stay connected to his roots, and respect the expectations of those closest to him. By prioritizing simplicity, consistency, and responsibility, he demonstrates that style can be meaningful without being showy.
