Trendy Ways to Wear Denim on Denim

Published

on

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?
