Double Denim

I'm very close to taking that leap over the fence towards the positive side of the double denim issue, but I think it could be solely to do with the girl on the left. To me- she is absolutely owning this look! The combination of the awkward stance, the hat, the red lips and the boyfriend jeans just begs to take center stage on the pages of a fashion editorial!

The March issue of Lucky magazine had a feature on how to master the look of denim on denim for the girls. Here are their three fail-safe ways to wear the trend:

• dark+dark : Indigo washes have a 70's workwear appeal-and the added benfit of being slimming. So a loose silhouette works well: A baggy jacket (with the sleeves rolled) and wide-leg trousers look clean and casual. Keep it all simple by tucking in a white tee, and add patterened wedges for a bit of color.
• light+light: Pale hues instantly lend a lighter, girlier quality, so they're great for softening the look of tough pieces like tight jeans and motorcycle jackets or rocker-ish vests. A long undershirt reinforces the lean silhouette, while a studded sandal will echo the glamorous/edgy feel.
• dark+color: Bright stovepipe jeans are quite bold, and pairing them with black denim-in the form of a sleek blazer-is a fun and easy way to balance them out and play them up. Hit an elegant note with the rest of the outfit: a drapey silk blouse and super feminine beige heels.

Don't fret guys!...this trend can be for you too! For those of you looking for inspiration not involving skinny jeans...read on to see how Kayne West put his spin on wearing denim with denim!

So, how do you feel about this denim-on-denim trend? Have you found the perfect combination that you'd like to share?

A few celebrities have also been photographed double dipping with denim. Christina Ricci is no stranger to this trend; pairing two medium washes together, while Keith Urban appears to be adding a shinier finish to his uniform denim look! Kayne West has found a new best friend with his vintage Levi's denim jacket; it's currently on heavy rotation in his wardobe!

Now...we all love Justin Timberlake...BUT...I don't think we can ever forget (or forgive!) the all-denim "suit" he wore during his Britney days. Obviously Justin's style has evolved over the years- with his William Rast clothing line that just keeps gaining a celebrity following at a rapid pace, and then there's his latest honor of being GQ's Most Stylish Man! I'm wondering if Justin went back through his style archives for a little inspiration for his William Rast Spring '09 collection?
