Denim is, after all, the people's fabric—it's just too popular to limit to one single item. "The beauty of denim is that it can transcend all these different styles.
The key to pulling off the look is having the right balance. Break up your look with staples like a white tee or blue button down. Opt for a lighter wash top with a faded finish or denim with embellishments, like beading or sequins
The easiest way to do it? Pair new with old.
I love mixing old and new. I think it's really fresh and timeless at the same time. Like a vintage trucker jacket, and then wearing it with a pair of black jeans. —Matt Baldwin
The best way to pair to denim pieces together, whether it's a denim shirt and jeans, or a denim jacket and jeans, or even a denim jacket on a denim shirt, is that the level of wear should be different on the items. One thing I wear a lot is a raw denim jacket and a pair of jeans, but my jeans are super worn in. So my denim jacket can be the same fabric, but you would never know because the jeans are two years old and super faded. —Kiya Babzani
I'm a big fan of colored denim this season, and I love it when it's paired back to a vintage-looking denim jacket. —Scott Morrison
Or mix light and dark.
If you're going to pair denim on denim today, you need to have some contrast, like a lighter colored shirt with a darker colored jean. The Canadian Tuxedo I most remember is the Justin Timberlake version from 15 years ago. It was two shades of the same denim (three if you count the hat), both of which were washed down to a flat, mid-blue indigo shade. The wash was also bad, so that didn't help
