Day to day, my style is pretty laid back and casual. I love dressing up for special occasions, but Monday through to Friday I really enjoy just wearing comfy, casual, simple styles.
I recently grabbed these Rockstar Jeans from Old Navy and since then I’ve pretty much either been wearing them or my Mott & Bow Jeans whenever I go out.
Recently though, I was running to the store and I just threw on my Old Navy Jeans, this old denim button-up, and my new Cougar shoes, and it dawned on me just how much I loved the whole denim on denim look (aka, the Canadian Tuxedo).

The Trick to Wearing Denim on Denim
While I know some people just aren’t fans of the denim + denim look, another big reason people are nervous to wear pieces of denim together is because they aren’t quite sure how. Well, let me tell you this: it’s super easy.
All you have to do is make sure your denim pieces aren’t overly matchy-matchy. Pair light denim with dark denim, or even black denim. This will help you avoid that 1999 Justin Timberlake + Britney Spears look.
My Current Favourite Denim
Right now, my favourite jean pieces have come from Old Navy, and Mott & Bow.
Both the Rockstar Super Slim Stretch Jean from Old Navy (worn today) and the Mott & Bow Orchard Jean are super comfy, stretchy, and easy to wear.
The Shoes I’ve been Obsessed with (that totally work for denim + denim)
The other thing I love to pair with my denim/denim outfits are a good pair of slip-ons. These Cougar Chico Leather Slip-On shoes have become my go-to pair lately and I just love how they complete this denim ensemble.
So, now I just gotta know: would you wear denim on denim?

Wow! You are looking so beautiful in these pictures. Thanks for sharing this amazing post. Fashion is a popular aesthetic in a certain time and context, especially in clothing and you truly have a good taste of fashion and style selection. Denim is perfect for any occasion and never goes out of style. I’m a jewelry lover and I’ll definitely try this look with my nose piercing jewelry. In these days Nose Piercing is a huge trend. Thanks for the lovely post..
