How to... Wear double denim!

Double denim, a crime against fashion or a brave choice? Whatever your feelings on the subject it's undeniable that this combination is controversial! A very good male friend of mine recently arrived at my house wearing strait legged jeans and a classic style denim jacket. He divided the room. My opinion? He went down in fashion history as a very brave man! 

Now here you can see I'm taking a rather subtle approach to this look, the denim shirt with just a collar and raw edged fabric poking out from underneath my jumper is a tiny nod to this look. And I think it works a treat. However when going nuclear with this vibe it's worth considering the risks. You can look like a cowboy, a nineties throwback, a member of Bewitched or a faded and failed musician. To be honest I personally think that all of these can be credible looks, although its been said before that I may not be the right person to ask when looking for the general opinion on a look! 

Lets just say that's its brave, and brave is good. Plus it's bloody practical. Who doesn't own a shedload of denim?! But my absoulote favourite and coolest way to do double denim is black fitted jeans with a blue denim jacket. Too cool. Who says I can't be subtle?! 

Oh yeah. Just casually hanging out in my kitchen with my denim outfit... 

Don't forget who you are.

This is Laura, she's a girl after my own heart and someone i consider a style icon as she has completely her own distinctive thing going on. One of the reasons I love her look is that it's completely different from mine, if we are out together she ends up looking like a Bondage witch, and me a floral vintage dream. We are an odd pair but all the more inspiring because of our creative differences. And that's why style over fashion interests me more. It's real people doing there day to day things and rocking something that is personal and approachable. So lets embrace each others differences and juxtapose each other. It makes the streets more visually interesting.
