Denim on Denim

Another trend given the side eye by the masses: the rebirth of the denim on denim trend has got me all excited, not because it takes me back to those days when u and ur dad went to the mall rocking matching denim on denim outfits but just because I'm just a huge fan of denim! This look is very risky since in South Africa it tends to evoke a lot of humor, you may either get laughed at or admired for making it work. My advice? try different shades of denim to create a contrast (e.g pair a stone wash denim shirt and vintage black levi skinnies), add a brown belt to balance look.

The looks above should give you an idea of  how this trend should work.
