There’s something timeless and effortlessly chic about denim-on-denim. It’s versatile, edgy, and oh-so-stylish. This look is perfect for stepping up your everyday looks from a little forgettable to stop you on the street to ask where you got your outfit – FABULOUS. My DM’s and inbox have been flooded from Queen’s asking how exactly I created this look.
I want to give you all the details so you can shop these items and understand how to replicate this denim on denim magic when you step into your own closet, because there’s a methodology to it that goes beyond just wearing all denim.
Tali’s Style Tips for Denim-on-Denim
- Monochrome Power: Stick to similar shades of denim for a sleek, streamlined look perfect for my capsule and street style queens. Light wash on light wash is effortlessly chic and dark denim on darker denim gives a powerful and moody energy that’s elevated and dressy. Feel free to contrast your denim shades for bolder statement.
- Play with Textures: Distressed denim paired with a tailored piece or sequin creates the perfect mix of edgy and polished. Also metallic shoes like I styled it here. This is perfect for my extra and boho queens and a capsule queen who wants to step out of her comfort zone with some edge.
- Play with Layers: Layer your denim shirt with a classic white tee or throw on an oversized denim shirt for that effortlessly chic vibe, just like I did in the look above. Simple, effortless , and totally always on-trend!
- Tuck In Your Shirt: A tucked-in denim top with high-waisted jeans emphasizes your waist and gives you a flattering silhouette. Color is important to creating looks you love but so is fit and clothing proportions… because when you understand how to balance this, you can instantly look 10 pounds lighter without changing a thing about your beautiful body.
- Elevate with Your Accessories: Add a pop of Queen energy with bold jewelry (MALKARI, of course!), a structured handbag, or statement shoes because, whether you know it or not, what draws you to my look above, isn’t just the denim it’s also the jewelry.
To inspire your denim-on-denim moment, I’ve curated style boards featuring the must-have denim pieces you need to recreate this iconic look. From tailored denim blazers to high-rise jeans and statement denim shirts, I’ve got you covered. Pair them together, add to what’s in your closet and style them with your favorite accessories to truly make this look feel like ‘you’.
Remember: it’s not just an outfit—you’re creating a MOOD.
A Queen energy moment that turns heads and makes you feel unstoppable? Priceless.
You can have anything in life if you dress for it – one denim piece at a time!
With love and light,
Tali
