Dos and Don’ts

Take a cue from Britany Spears and Justin Timberlake and learn what to do and what not do when going for a denim on denim outfit. There are not too many fancy rules but just some basic tips. 

• Do Play with colours. You don’t always have to pair single colour denims together. Ease into your look by pairing different shades like white denim jeans with a blue denim shirt or a black denim jeans chambray shirt. Try adding denim in different colours like pale yellow, orange, red etc.  
• Denim-on-denim is supposed to look effortless. Although it is totally your call, but stop yourself from diving head-to-toe in the same shade of denim. Pairing dark washed jeans with a light washed denim jacket is the best way to go. You can wear a coloured top or a footwear to break off the single look.
• Don’t hesitate while dressing the look up and you can easily do that. Denims generally give a casual vibe but. Add accessories like a scarf, necklaces or earrings. Teaming the look with a pair of white sneakers will give a casual vibe, instead wear pointy toe heels or chunky heels for a chic look.
• Dress to kill, not overkill. Refrain yourself from adding denim accessories on your already denim-on-denim look. Keep it confined to your clothing. Having said that, denim boots, hair-ties, bags etc. are an excellent fashion accessory when added to your non-denim looks.
• Do experiment with different denim shades. As a general rule, darker denim shades gives a slimmer effect while lighter denims focus on your curves. Team a light upper like a cropped denim jacket with dark denim jeans.
