Almost everyone is familiar with the Canadian Tuxedo (we can thank pop culture of the early aughts for that), but lately, the denim-on-denim style has taken a chic turn courtesy of a very fashionable group of street stylers. This double-take of denim comes as no surprise given the recent rise of casual yet cool dressing where solid, everyday wardrobe essentials shine. Even better, the outfit combination can be just as easily dressed up with a heeled sandal as it can be dressed down with a pair of menswear-inspired loafers. Never not a fashion risk-taker, Emily Ratajkowski was spotted outside the Loewe SS23 runway show in her version of a Canadian Tuxedo, making the denim-on-denim style sexy like only she can. The combination of her statement-making baggy jeans and denim jacket tied at the front to accentuate a plunging neckline was a certified sartorial success.

Emrata isn’t the only street styler showcasing their double takes of denim—some keep to the classics like sleek denim button-ups and jackets, while others go the extra mile and style their looks with denim midi skirts or even denim cropped tops. From cult classic denim brands like Rag & Bone, Mother, and A.P.C to newer brands planting their denim stakes like Khaite and Loewe, denim-on-denim is an easy outfit formula to recreate this season and beyond. The matchy-matchy looks don’t have to stop at just ready-to-wear either—denim accessories from Saint Laurent, Isabel Marant, and even Zara are the ideal outfit topper for any denim enthusiast.
The denim-on-denim outfit combinations are endless, just ask this street style set. So if you’re looking for ways to double up on denim this fall, below, find 10 outfit ideas to wear (and shop!) all season long.
The Denim Midi Skirt

Let this stylish street styler be the reason why you give your jeans a break this fall and try a denim midi skirt instead. Unlike your go-to pair of casual, comfy jeans, a denim midi skirt is instantly polished. Loewe’s asymmetric ruffled denim midi skirt adds a welcome flair (and flare) to any look in mind, but when paired with the brand’s denim cropped jacket, the style is taken to another level. Accessorise-wise, finish the look off with a colorful moon bag from Neous and Amina Muaddi’s glass wedge sandals.

The Sleek Denim Button-Up

A button-up shirt is timeless in your closet, so why not make it a denim one? The Row’s ‘Frannie’ denim shirt is a good place to start. Even better, the mid denim wash pairs well with Everlane’s cult-classic ‘The Way-High Jeans.’ Keep the accessories equally as minimal and go for black leather mules from Cos and Mango’s faux leather shoulder bag.

When it comes to denim picks, raw denim is typically one that most are unfamiliar with wearing. This season, however, let this stylish street styler be your reason to give a raw denim-on-denim look a try. And what better way to start than with A.P.C, a brand synonymous with the unwashed garment. After all, raw denim only gets better with age, so investing in their ‘Brandy’ jacket and standard straight-leg jeans is a win-win. For chillier fall days, keep a cozy knit sweater nearby like this one from La Ligne and step into suede ankle boots by Totême.

For an edgy day-to-night ensemble, statement-making distressed jeans from Loewe should be front and center. Atop, style your new jeans with Mother’s ‘The Back Road’ denim jacket and Rag & Bone’s striped button-up to keep the look slightly more pared down. Also from Loewe, their ‘Puzzle’ bag will pack a colorful punch.

Patchwork is one of the many prints associated with fall and Sea’s ‘Diego’ fleece-lined denim coat is one to watch (and wear!) this season. Rag & Bone’s asymmetric denim midi-skirt contrasts the printed patchwork perfectly. Style the look with a pair of suede boots from Staud and Chloés ‘Edith’ leather satchel.

Like a classic denim shirt, but with a twist, a denim blouse is perfect for those with a more feminine approach to dressing. This one from Veronica Beard features puff sleeves and smocked elbows like a modern-day cowgirl. Pair the blouse with these Zimmermann wide-leg jeans as seen on this stylish street styler. For the real denim enthusiast, reach for a pair of denim mules from Saint Laurent. Tie the look together with Gucci’s ‘Ophidia’ bag.

The Denim Overshirt

Khaite’s ‘Birdie’ denim overshirt is a favorite amongst the street style and editor lot. The oversized silhouette works just as well buttoned all the way up as it does left open with a tank or tee underneath. Also from Khaite, the ‘Danielle’ jean is another go-to pick, while their ‘Ada’ hobo is the perfect bag for every day or even special occasions. Take shade from any fall shadows in a pair of two-tone aviators from Le Spec.
