DENIM WITH DENIM

Shanus — Fri, 23 Feb 2018 15:00:29 GMT

I love my med. wash cropped denim jacket. It’s old, broken in and comfie. I wear jeans most of the time, so feel odd wearing this jacket except w/ jeans that are white or black.

How do you feel about denim w/ denim?

I will wear denim with denim if the washes or colors are different. Otherwise it reminds me of the 80s !!

@Shanus I love denim, but like you I am not comfortable with denim top and bottom; I have denim bottoms in several colors, but often wear a knit hoodie instead of any of my denim jackets.

When I do wear both, I definitely veer away from a "suit" look. I just don't love that.

I love denim with denim...I think of you as stylish and I am sure that you wear it well.

Years ago everyone wore denim with denim, right? Then I guess it became not the thing to do. The fashion police decreed it was not a good look to wear denim with denim.

However, I could be wrong, but I thought I heard someone say that it's "okay" again to wear the same color denim top and bottom.

I'm pretty sure I heard that.

My personal belief is that you should wear what you like.

@dex Thanks for the compliment, but this has always puzzled me.

@Shanus I think people style anything and everything to suit their tastes these days.I would assume that what you put with the outfit such as jewelry,shoes and handbags would make it current and add the wow.

I love denim with denim. I wear that look often. Different shades of course.

I wear denim with denim two different ways:

1. The shades/washes are different in the top versus the bottom (which is almost always darker on bottom and lighter on top).

2. The same shade on top and bottom, but then I must have a cool jacket or cardigan (preferrably patterned or textured) over the top.

It's fine. No Donny Osmond in the way back machine, please, but even then I'll bet someone out there could create a sartorially chic look with that.

I don't wear true blue denim anymore. I've erased that part of my history, all for the good.

Happy trails!

I wear blue denim pieces together as long as they are not matchy matchy...to me that's tacky tacky.

I wear denim and denim a lot. Sometimes when I do I wear pearls with it, it looks classy.

I don't like the look of denim with denim. It's just too heavy and too much. Also, most of the time it doesn't match well and looks like you just missed. Why not invest in a new colored denim jacket?

My signature denim jacket is a light wash Chicos with embroidery (get lots of compliments and many think I embroidered it). I always wear it with darker wash or black pants. I love this jacket so much that when it word out I purchased 3 more on the Bay (yes, I love it!!!).

I have seen images online recently showing denim head to toe so I guess it is trending again. At my age, I have seen and participated in most trends so when a trend comes back around again, it is always interesting.

I have a cropped dark wash 3/4 sleeve jacket that is denim. It is dressier looking than a traditional jean jacket. I wear it over short sleeve and sleeveless dresses instead of a cardigan. I also wear it over a top or tank with skirts or pants but never with jeans.

I don't do it often and never matching. I have a very faded wash denim jacket and I would only wear it with a dark wash jean. The matched look is too much like those old leisure suits.

I just love denim with denim ... both matching or coordinates. I'll add interest to the two pieces with a long scarf or a great turquoise necklace. Actually, I prefer the medium denim pieces to match.

I will wear denim with denim if it's two very different washes but if they are the same, it's a bit much. But that's just me - I really have no goal to prevent others from wearing what they like!

Denim with denim is sometimes called a Canadian tuxedo.

Apparently Bing Crosby was almost prevented from entering some restaurant in Canada because he was wearing a denim jacket and jeans. Levis heard about it and made him an actual tuxedo from denim. Or so says the Urban Dictionary.

Anyway, that's why I wish there were more khaki pants. Khaki pants look so good with denim jackets or denim shirts.

Never.... If I'm wearing a denim jacket I won't wear the same colored denim jeans. I will wear black, olive, khaki denim or knit pants... but I think it's too weird wearing a denim suit! (top & bottom)....maybe a very light wash jacket with very dark bottoms.
