    Double Denim
    I know this supposed to be a no-no... but have seen quite a few people out wearing dark jeans with a much lighter wash shirt. Is that acceptable?

    I think it looks ridiculous most of the time.

    Saw an older woman on the bus the other day with denim jeans, denim jacket and a denim-like hat on. Winning fashion combo :p:

    I sometimes wear black jeans with a blue denim jacket and it doesn't look too horrific, but then the jeans don't really look like jeans because they're cheap ones from Primark.

    No. Just no.

    In general, double anything, be it double leather, double denim, double corduroy, just looks ****ing terrible.

    I had a really horrible moment of horror the other week when I pulled my denim jacket on, not remembering I had jeans on too. I looked like a cowboy.

    sometimes it can look quite nice, skinny dark blue jeans and then a light denim shirt tied up loose, that looks nice...but I think sometimes its the person wearing it.
    but it can be done well

    I would say yes but its so difficult to pull off imo that I would avoid it.

    TBH, I wouldn't be seen dead where denim anywhere except round my legs anyway, so the question is moot. Denim jackets and shirts have never really been cool and probably never will be.

    I challenge anyone to find a photo of someone looking stylish in a denim shirt.

    I had a friend who wore a denim hat, waistcoat, jeans and shoes. She thought she looked great...
