Trend Alert: Denim on Denim

The fashion industry has time-traveled to the 80s & 90s, and brought back the double denim trend to the present day. I always find fashion time travel a little amusing, especially seeing that over the last decade, the majority of us have sworn off Denim on Denim as a complete and utter no-no...

For today's post, I've collaborated with the Megan, Christine and Mzcocoh who are all really great fashion bloggers. They've each styled a denim on denim look in their own way and added a little creative blogger flair, so as to show you how easy it is to wear double denim without looking like you've literally stepped out of the 80s.

Accessorizing is key when wearing denim on denim. As you can see in the first picture, Megan's clutch is the only factor of the outfit apart from the denim. It's one simple piece, but the pop of colour totally ties the look together. Neutral, strappy sandals are a great addition too!

To tone down the trend, wearing a blazer like Christine has done in the second picture will draw away attention from the denim. You barely notice that she's wearing double denim, and yet the little peaks of blue keep you on trend. The scarf if the main accessory which kicks the outfit up a notch!

It's often said that when wearing double denim, you should wear a different wash from the top to the bottom, and yet Mzcocoh gives a flawless example of how to break that rule. The look is casual but sophisticated, and the bright red pumps give a cute twist to the whole outfit.

Here's my take on the look:
