How to Wear Double Denim

If you thought that double denim was left behind in the 90s, think again. Whether you’re a fan of the trend or not, it’s safe to say that this season the fashion world can’t get enough of it. The perfect outfit for picnics in the park, festivals and down days, double denim is one of those looks that’s difficult to get right and very easy to get wrong.

So, if you’re worried about trying out one of summer 2019’s most popular styles, we’re here to lend a helping hand. From pairing denim jackets and denim skirts with colour-pop tops to trying out printed denim sets and denim dresses, we have plenty of fashionable and fun outfits to help you get your double denim fix.

Step 1:
Coordinate Colours

When it comes to wearing double denim, the best course of action is to opt for coordinating colours. Helping to structure the look, wearing similar (or, even better, matching!) tones is our favourite way to master the trend.

For a fresh take on the classic denim jacket and skirt set, go for an all-white ensemble. Seasonal and stylish, our cream palm print denim skirt and jacket outfit is just the thing for summer afternoons spent outside.

Or, for another update on the traditional blue hues, try our pink, lilac or super-cool khaki denim sets to make a statement.

Step 2:
Add Some Contrast

If you’ve chosen a matching denim set, it’s important to add other shades and fabrics to your outfit to help break up the look. After all, it’s easy to go overboard on the same colour scheme.

To provide some contrast to your denim, try wearing a brightly coloured top. From vibrant cold-shoulder tops and summer camisoles to classic striped styles, you can have fun experimenting with different designs to find your favourite combination.

Step 3:
Go Wild

Just because you’re wearing denim, that doesn’t mean you have to stick to plain fabrics. In fact, why not tick off two trends at once with our leopard print denim jacket and skirt co-ord? Letting you walk on the wild side, this bold outfit is guaranteed to help you stand out.

Even so, keeping your accessories to a minimum is essential with a look as brave as this. All you’ll need is a pair of simple hoop earrings and white trainers.

Step 4:
Think Outside The Box

While it’s tempting to think that double denim always has to include a jacket, this doesn’t have to be the case. To mix up the look, you can also try pairing a denim top with jeans or switching out a skirt for a denim pinafore dress instead.

For an alternative denim outfit that you can throw on and go at a moment’s notice, opt for our frill shoulder denim dress. Teamed with a cross-body bag and slip-on sliders, this summer dress will have you ready for your holiday before you know it.

Don’t forget to stock up on our school uniform offers. From school shoes for boys and girls to school blazers, gingham dresses and boys’ polo shirts, our range will help you and your child get prepared for the new school term.
