Double Denim: Streetwear’s Boldest Love Affair

The magic of double denim lies in its unapologetic commitment to going all-in. Don't feel like playing it safe? Try on the Canadian tuxedo.

Double denim is having another moment, and this time, it’s louder, bolder, and unapologetically street. Forget the polished, put-together Canadian tuxedo—this season’s take on denim-on-denim is raw, oversized, and dripping with attitude. Think vintage-wash jeans clashing with distressed trucker jackets, all layered like a carefully curated thrift-store goldmine.

The key? Mismatch, but with intent. A structured denim blazer over slouchy, wide-leg jeans feels effortlessly cool, while cropped denim bombers paired with baggy cargos channel serious ‘90s energy. Bleached, patchwork, or reworked—anything that looks like it’s lived a few lives before hitting the pavement is a win.

Footwear makes or breaks the look. Sleek pointed boots elevate baggy denim sets, while chunky sneakers or platform loafers give them effortless, skater-girl energy. Accessories? Keep them bold. Layered silver chains, micro sunglasses, and an oversized tote bag give that “I just threw this on” vibe—except, let’s be real, it’s all perfectly calculated.

Double denim in street style isn’t just a trend; it’s a statement. It’s about rejecting the idea of “too much” and making denim feel fresh again. So go all in—more denim, more contrast, more attitude. Because in 2024, minimalism is overrated.

Looking for more denim inspiration? Barrel jeans are street style's newest obsession.
