I think it's called Canadian or Texas tuxedo referring to the notion that denim on denim is their idea of dressing up.

Yes, the reference, or joke, was lost on them. It has been around for a very long time. I didn't realize it wasn't a common reference.

I know both Canadians and Texans, and I think it's an insult to think they don't know what "formal" means.............

Yes, I do think it's one of the condescending characterizations made by the fashion world-- I've only heard the term used as a sort of "jokey" disparagement. One of the reasons that world is not appealing to me, because of the stereotyping, unkindness and snark.

Like the outfit. I would do a different handbag though myself.

And as far as the man in the Texas Tux - nice look. Totally pulled together.

Not really a fan of the "Double D."

Nothing in this look I like. I wouldn’t buy or wear any of the items.

I have always heard double denim referred to as a Texas tuxedo. I think I have a variation of that on today for a quick Costco run - medium wash jeans, burgundy and ivory checked flannel shirt (I think from J. Crew) and black denim jean jacket (Gap).
