Double Denim

Chaps, it’s time to dig out your trusty battered old denim jacket and wear it proudly with your jeans. Thanks to the fashion demi-god that is David Beckham, it’s time to wear as much denim as you can at the same time – we’re talking denim shirts, denim jackets, and of course jeans.

To make this look work for you, there are a few golden rules to follow – after all, the Shakin’ Steven’s look is not for everyone…

1.Mix your colours – don’t go for pale top and bottom. Dark jeans and pale jacket works.

2.Try a dark denim shirt over a plain white t-shirt and pale washed jeans for a casual look.

3.To avoid the trucker look fasten your jacket up to the neck – don’t wear it open and avoid, at all costs, a checked lumberjack shirt.

4.Banish the cowboy boot – that’s just a step too far. Go for a pump or biker boot.

5.If you’re going for a fitted jacket, wear a loose fit jean. The G-Star Raw range of men’s clothing with has great jeans in a variety of cuts and styles.

6.Go vintage – the distressed look works with double, or even triple, denim. Wear your jeans with a turn up for a retro twist.

 Don’t think this is just a celebrity look – make it work for you and experiment with fit, colour and style. Embrace the denim shirt for summer and layer it with vests, t-shirts and, if you dare, a denim waistcoat.

This summer, it’s all about the denim.
