Ever opened your wardrobe, stared at your denim shirt and your denim jeans, and thought, “Hmm, too risky?” Babe, that’s your inner fashion critic lying to you. Because denim-on-denim is having such a hot comeback! Even WGSN is calling it the vibe of the season. And when a trend forecaster says it’s in! You know it’s not just a fling! Westside’s A/W’25 collection has already decoded the double denim playbook for you. Baggy wide-leg jeans that scream effortless chic! Embellished jackets that serve full-on diva! The pieces are designed to help you nail the look without looking like you accidentally time-travelled to a 2000s boyband reunion tour!
How do you actually make it work? Let’s spill the tea bestie!
Rule No. 1: Contrast is your BFF
Mix your shades darling! Light wash shirt? Pair it with dark indigo jeans. Black denim jacket? Match it with classic blues. Dirty vintage fades paired with structured dark trousers? Fire! Playing with different tones is literally the cheat code to avoid looking like you’re in a denim uniform. WGSN’s forecast is crystal clear! Varied washes = instant cool.
Rule No. 2: Proportions matter
All baggy on baggy? Might drown you out. Super skinny everything? Too 2010. The trick? Balance it out. Oversized jacket with straight-leg jeans? Total street style energy. Wide-leg denim with a fitted crop? Or tucked-in shirt? Game over! It’s all about proportions that give effortless cool! Not “I borrowed dad’s closet”.
Rule No. 3: Dare to layer
WGSN keeps whispering one word. Layering!
Open denim shirt over a tank? Cute. Cropped jacket on top of baggy jeans? Chic. Denim corset with a denim jacket? Power move. Layering is where denim-on-denim really shines! It’s like building your own runway look, piece by piece.
Rule No. 4: The Glow Up Jacket
According to WGSN, denim jackets aren’t just jackets anymore! They’re getting the glam treatment. Think contrast stitching. Embellishments. Embroidery. Even sparkly touches! If you’re doubling up? Let your jacket be the diva, and keep your jeans clean and simple. One statement piece is plenty to carry the look!
Rule No. 4: Don’t shy away from colour
Who said denim has to be blue? Grey. Black. Coloured denims! All are living their best life right now! Pair your classic jeans with a pastel jacket or a grey overshirt, and you’re serving cool-girl energy without even trying.
Rule No. 5: Accessories are the secret sauce
Denim-on-denim without accessories is… meh! Add chunky hoops. Layer some chains. Throw on a belt to break the denim wall. Shoes matter too! Sneakers for casual cool. Boots for drama. Heels if you’re ready to turn heads. Don’t just wear denim; style it.
Double denim isn’t a faux pas anymore! It’s your glow-up! With the right mix of washes, fits, and layers, you’re serving confidence. And Westside’s A/W’25 denim edit? It’s basically a cheat sheet for this entire trend.
