PRIMER STYLE GUIDE: DENIM ON DENIM
Feb 12, 2017
When it comes to denim: anything and everything goes. As everyone knows, denim goes with any and everything. That said, one of the most obvious –– and, at the same time, cautiously avoided –– denim pairings is the infamous denim on denim, “Canadian Tuxedo.” We know, imagery of early-2000s red carpets and MTV scenes evokes a reflexive recoil at anti-nostalgic remembrances of monochromatic style mishaps and monstrosities, but fashion has evolved and with it, the evolution of denim on denim style.
