Spring/Summer 2010 Fashion Trend: Denim on Denim


This Spring and Summer don't be surprised to see many women wearing jeans with a denim shirt, vest, or jacket. Yes, believe it or not, it is actually on-trend this Spring and Summer to pair a denim top with a denim bottom. This denim on denim trend was seen all over the SS2010 runways (Above: Chloe, D&G, Ralph Lauren, Twenty8Twelve). The key to pulling of this trend is to wear contrasting shades of denim on top and bottom. For instance, pair a chambray top with dark wash jeans, or a dark denim jacket with white jeans. If you wear the same shade of denim all over then you risk wearing what my husband refers to as "the Canadian Tuxedo"!!! Katie Holmes was recently spotted trying out this trend (see below) and I must say she is looking good in her light denim top and dark denim jeans.
