How To Wear: Denim on Denim

I love the denim on denim look but it can be really hard to pull off.  I've discovered a few tricks I use whenever I want to wear denim on denim. Here are five looks I created that I can't wait to wear this summer!

My number one rule when wearing denim on denim is that one must be light wash and one must be dark wash.  I love this look, and it doesn't even look like you are really wearing denim on denim.  Plus how adorable is this top?

Still sticking to the light wash dark wash rule here, but I decided to do a super casual look.  The white tank top helps break up the denim on denim look.  I love how the unbuttoned shirt and fedora makes this outfit look super casual and perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Another great way to do denim on denim is to incorporate colored denim.  By doing this, it makes wearing denim on denim super easy because you don't have to worry about washes.  Not to mention its a great way to wear two summer trends!

Finally comes the jean jacket! I have owned a jean jacket since I was about 5 years old. I love them and they are a great staple. My trick when it comes to jeans jackets is to go with a lighter wash. Since generally I wear dark wash jeans its a safe bet that it will match my jeans. Plus it gives any look a more casual feel. 

For the first look, I threw on a colorful scarf which is a good way to break up the denim on denim look and add a fun pop of color to your outfit. 

For the second look, I chose a super flowy coral tank top. It's a little bit longer than the jacket and the color really helps break the look up. Throw on a cute pair of sandals and you're set!
