8 Double Denim Outfits
1. Light Wash
We love this light wash denim look, paired with navy and red-brown accessories for a sleek and sophisticated look. The light wash denim button-up shirt and straight-leg jeans match perfectly and ensure a chic yet relaxed look. The navy sweater over the shoulders adds a tonal touch to the blue outfit, while the red-brown loafers and crossbody bag break up the shades of blue.

4. Dark wash sets
Dark wash denim is underappreciated but definitely needs to be in your wardrobe. We just adore this dark wash denim set, including straight leg, wide cuff jeans, and a denim jacket with matching wide cuffs on the sleeve. Layer a white crop top under the denim jacket and bring in a pop of color with red sneakers – so chic! The darker color makes this double denim look a little more paired-back.

6. Mixing denim washes
You don’t have to always match your denim washes in a double denim outfit – the subtle difference between the shades of denim in this outfit looks so chic and stylish. The oversized button-up denim shirt is a little darker than the retro faded light blue wash jeans for a contrasting look. Finish off this outfit with nude heels and a classic tan shoulder bag.
