6 ways to wear double denim in 2024

Double down on your favourite denim pieces.

I’ll be honest, I love double denim but have always found it such a tricky trend to navigate. Mainly because it can make me feel a little masculine and always manages to give me Justine Timberlake in the early 2000s vibes, but not in a good way!

But whether we like it or not, this dynamic duo pairing is back in a big way in 2024, and we’ve uncovered some celebrity-inspired looks that will have your doubling down on your denim looks right away.

Blazer sharp

Cate Blanchett always manages to tweak a trend to suit her style, and this blazer and wide leg jeans combo is no exception.

The white shirt and sneakers tie the pairing together while breaking up the denim on denim effect.

Faded denim

Stone-wash denim styles lend perfectly to effortless day outfits.

We love Julianne Moore’s buttoned-up effect, so elegantly elevated with statement earrings and killer heels.

Pop a pretty top or camisole underneath to offer a girly alternative when the weather warms.

Go West!

Adding an outer layer in a different shade can help to break up double denim. We love how this warm camel sits strikingly against the bold blue.

Brave the full western look complete with tassels like Lily Aldridge here, or tone it down with a suede leather jacket or classic blazer in an alternative style for a more subtle finish.
