If you uttered the term “Canadian Tuxedo” to any fashion editor just a decade ago, I guarantee the reaction would have been rolled eyes and skeptical raised eyebrows. However, as with all things in fashion, this once fabled faux pas has evolved into a chic sartorial trend. (Fashion is always recycling itself!) I love the look of a head-to-toe denim ensemble. It can range anywhere from classic and all-American to edgy and eclectic. Personally, I’m a fan of pairing my basic blue jeans with a button up chambray shirt. The fun part is that the options are nearly endless when creating an all-denim outfit.
To get you in gear to give this look a try, I’ve come up with a couple style tips that will have you mixing and matching denim and chambray like a professional in no time:
Two-toned:
One of the most important things to know about wearing denim head-to-toe is that your shades of blue don’t have to match. In fact, I think it keeps the look more interesting when lighter denim is paired with a darker wash. Throw on a pair of lighter boyfriend jeans, a basic tee, and a dark denim jacket for a two-toned look that will actually appear fashionably put together.
Sugar and spice:
Similar to trying a two-toned denim look, mixing distressed pieces with cleaner cuts is another way to rock the trend. Combine your go-to skinnies with a distressed chambray shirt (buttoned all the way up and tucked in) for a cool spin on this classic look. I would even add a preppy pea coat, a brown leather belt and riding boots to make it autumn-appropriate.
Element of surprise:
Don’t limit your style by thinking that denim pieces can only come in the form of basic tops and bottoms. Fall fashion forecasts have shown everything from knee-length blue jean pencil skirts to denim designer handbags. Make the most of the trend this season by layering a collared chambray shirt under a plaid sweater or throwing a denim vest over a sweater dress.
Take my word for it: You’ll be wearing your own Canadian Tuxedo round the clock in no time.
Loveee this jacket 😀
