]]> Denim is a staple of every season. Never going out of style denim merely adapts to new trends and styles and this year is no different. From jean skirts to cowboy chaps, denim has got a whole new look ahead of it in 2023 and so here is our rundown of all of the trends you need to know about.

Denim Maxi Skirts

A Gigi Hadid favourite, the denim maxi skirt completely took over the runway for Spring/Summer 2023. From Maison Margiela to Altuzarra, the long flowing silhouette is set to be the biggest skirt of the season as the pendulum swings away from the micro mini to the floor-scraping maxi.

Double Denim

No, your eyes do not deceive you, we did in fact say that double denim is back. One of the most controversial looks, the Canadian Tuxedo, was all over the runways for 2023. And before your mind jumps to *that* Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake look, think more 90s grunge or 70s rocker-chick. When you see the way Givenchy and Ganni have been styling this trend, you may be jumping to get your hands on a denim co-ord.

The Wider the Better

The long and free-flowing silhouette of the denim maxi skirt was not alone on the SS23 runways, it was met with its trouser counterpart, the wide leg jean. This season saw an influx of the loose, baggy jean, often styled with a more formal top as the new ‘it girl’ party uniform. The wide-leg jean has been a Gen-Z staple for some time now so this should be an easy way to incorporate a high fashion trend into your wardrobe.

We have all seen how popular the cargo trouser has been in the past couple of years, and while this trend was still highly visible across the catwalks for 2023, it has evolved a bit. The popularity of the cargo pant and the general trend of workwear has now infiltrated the denim world with utility denim being seen all across the runway. From what we know about cargos, it is safe to say that this trend is going to be huge, it combines the timeless classic denim jean with the growing popularity of the cargo pant or utility trouser to create the perfect denim investment for 2023.

Cowboy Chaps

Now this one is a little bit wild (pardon the pun). While seeing Western-inspired chaps on the runway may sound shocking, it actually comes as a pretty natural progression from the cowboy boot trend that has dominated footwear for the past couple of years. Now, I know what you’re thinking, but chaps can actually be styled in a way that is not so over-the-top. Paired with some leather trousers or over an alternative shade of denim and you’ve got yourself an intricately layered look that is interesting on the eye.

Double Denim is a timeless and universal look; its constant presence throughout the fashion world generates a plethora of choices when styling outfits. Love it or hate it this article will avert any calls to the fashion police and persuade you to join ‘Team Double Denim’ with some killer celebrity looks. Take inspiration from these creative outfits; appreciate how they rock double denim with confidence and flair styled in unique and contemporary ways.


Hailey Bieber: Denim Rainbow
The different shades of denim throughout Hailey’s outfit are fun and unique. The light and dark washes are arranged in diagonal blocks, her top and jeans contrasting in direction. This creates an effect where the eye is encouraged to bounce across the diagonals of her outfit, showcasing the complete ensemble. Hailey’s double denim look is a fun expression of colour and lines; moving away from single coloured denim, she experiments with a variety.

Gigi Hadid: Pop of Colour
Diffusing the sea of blue, Gigi has made her outfit eye-catching with the addition of red accents peeping through the denim. She creates a cohesive outfit with consistent shades of colour, giving her look structure and harmony. Wearing double denim is a bold move; wearing red is a bold move- these two elements work great together, screaming confidence through their striking appearance.

Kylie Jenner: Triple Denim
Many people shy away from double denim due to the shape and thickness of the fabric. Kylie Jenner has answered all of these problems through her iconic triple denim look. The highlight of the outfit is the denim belt, completing the outfit. By styling skinny jeans with an oversized jacket, Kylie maintains a casual look but the cinching of the belt elevates it to another level, it ensures her outfit flatters her figure. This is a useful accessory to incorporate into your wardrobe as it provides the opportunity to create diverse looks with the same items of clothing.

Rihanna: Double Denim Night-Out Addition
Typically covering a huge proportion of the skin, jeans and long sleeve shirts tend to be associated with the double denim realm. Rihanna has defied this assumption through her gorgeous night-out vision, where she has taken elements of a daytime look and transitioned it appropriately into a sleek and sexy outfit. Creating a V-neck, off-the-shoulder look is so simple but cool. The same shades of denim in her mini skirt give the impression her outfit was
designed to be worn in unison, looking polished and sassy.

Denim: an innately versatile and timeless fabric, dominating dress codes of runways and street-style stars for decades. A good, flattering pair of jeans is a woman’s best friend; a trusty, fail-safe item to always return to when in sartorial doubt. But one denim phenomenon that has divided fashion lovers and trend-spotters since its inception is the polarising question of whether we should or shouldn’t double up on our denim.

A fashion phenomenon associated with the 70s and 80s, as seen on Blondie front-woman Debbie Harry and sported by Charlie’s Angels, the origins of double denim root back to the 1950s. Also known as the Canadian Tuxedo, a phrase coined after Bing Crosby’s head-to-toe denim ensemble had him denied entry to a hotel in 1951 for failing to confirm to acceptable dress codes, double denim was donned by 50s stars from Marilyn Monroe to Elvis, whose non-conformist style caught on thanks to her iconic embodiment of 50s sexuality and his global fanbase and popularity. Fast forward to 1978 and Debbie Harry, whose fearless punk-rock style gained her style icon status, made an on-stage appearance marrying different shades of denim. Drew Barrymore’s washed-out blue, laid-back denim-on-denim 1991 look was emblematic of the 90s grunge era, in distressed jeans and an oversized jacket that screamed androgyny.

If we had to pinpoint the moment when double denim became considered no-go style territory, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake at the 2001 AMAs instantly springs to mind. An ode to double denim would be incomplete without reminiscing on their appearance in matching denim ensembles that took the Western-inspired look a little too far with denim patchwork and JT’s cowboy hat – all kinds of wrong, but iconic nonetheless. Once considered a fashion faux pas, the double denim trend is seeing a revival that designers and celebrities aren’t hesitating to jump onto. After all, borderline bad taste is in, with ‘ugly’, slightly ironic and boundary-pushing trends such as sporty sandals, cycling shorts and Paris Hilton-style one shoulder-tanks all making an impression on the fashion landscape in recent years.

It’s a comeback people still seem sceptical about – Google search ‘double denim’, and one of the first questions to pop up is “Is double denim allowed?”, as if some sort of out of bounds, contraband concept to live in fear of. The runways are saying otherwise, however, with HTT denim looks featuring on the catwalks at Tom Ford, Miu Miu and Fendi among others in recent years, pushing the boundaries by going one step further with triple or even quadruple denim. Its versatility and laid-back sophistication lend it to emulation by A-listers such as Gigi Hadid, who has been known to double up on denim on numerous occasions, and whose double-denim dress code for her 24th birthday party saw celebrities from Hailee Steinfeld to Ashley Graham make their appearance donning the controversial trend. Bella Hadid went beyond with triple denim, layering a denim shirt over a reconstructed corset and jeans, a look slightly nostalgic of Britney’s questionable 2001 attire.

Double denim radiates a feel that’s at once chic, polished and laid-back, and can be styled to fit any occasion, with chunky trainers, statement heels and ankle books all working harmoniously with an all-denim ensemble. Shades of scarlet red or injections of metallic accents in the form of bags, shoes or jewellery thrive next to icy blue and indigo hues. The classic jeans and denim jacket combination emits an NYC street-style vibe, while a pairing of a button-down shirt and jeans gives off a Western feel. Alternatively, layer denim pieces over a striped tee for an effortless French-girl style à la Diane Kruger.

However it’s styled, embracing double-denim in its daringly versatile glory and marrying denim hues has made for one of the most enduring trends of the fashion landscape in recent years, despite its disputed status as verging on bad taste.
