A Piece of Zoe

Denim on Denim, can it work or is it simply a fashion no-no?

I don't know about you but I have always had the impression that denim on denim is a major fashion mistake. However, like all things in fashion, a fabled no can turn into a new chic trend as fashion always seems to be recycling itself. A denim on denim ensemble can in fact look very stylish- if worn in the right way.

Here are my 3 main style tips to help you mix your blues in the RIGHT way:

1. Make sure its two-toned - when sporting denim on denim it's essential to make sure that you are not wearing two matching shades and rather one lighter and one darker. (e.g- dark skinny jeans and a light wash denim shirt-jacket).

2. Be open to A-Z denim- Denim has evolved into a very popular and versatile trend in the past year and it has been used to make not only jeans and jackets but skirts, dresses, sweaters, tops and headbands etc. So when choosing which denim items you are going to wear, don't be afraid to add a risky element (then paired with another much simpler denim item).

3. Mix it up- When experimenting with this trend it is vital to mix mix mix! combine your light wash boyfriend jeans with a darker denim simple shirt or combine your denim dress with a lighter wash unbuttoned denim shirt.

Try the trend out! I must admit when I started seeing denim being worn in doubles I freaked out a little but when I tried the look out for myself I surprisingly really liked the casual, laid-back, effortless and chic outfit the denim on denim created.
