Don't Fear: Denim on Denim

By Natalie Naccarato

For a time denim on denim was known to us Canucks as the "Canadian Suit." It was such a fashion faux pas that many a fashionista would cringe at the mere thought of pairing a denim jacket with jeans. However, as fashion goes, what is out one day will be in before you know it.

Something started changing just over a year ago. This chic lovely was photographed by Scott Schuman and posted to his ultra-popular blog, The Sartorialist in February, 2009:

Suddenly denim on denim looked fresh again. Any horrible images of your fashion clueless denim-loving Uncle or embarrassing denim heavy portraits of yourself from elementary school were erased. Designers took note and the look was seen on multiple Spring 2010 runways including D&G and Ralph Lauren:

There were still skeptics, people still feared the denim overload.

LUXaholic is here to tell you, it's ok, embrace the denim! Our philosophy is that if Kate Moss is rocking the look you know you're good! She's on the cutting edge of every trend.

Now that we can agree denim on denim is looking pretty enticing, let's see how we can adapt this look into our wardrobes. This is where www.LUXaholic.ca comes in to help! Currently on our website we have a variety of styles to help you get this look.

The Brodie dress by B.B. Dakota is a great summer dress. Throw a denim jacket over OR pair with a denim handbag as seen below:

Below is the Tracy dress by Guess. With it's tie-dyed details this dress is practically begging for denim companions!

Accessory tip: browns are always best with denim. Stick with suede and leather...sandals, belts and handbags.

Remember, fashion is fun so experiment with denim on denim!
