You don't need to pay close attention to the trend cycle to know that denim-on-denim outfits are everywhere. On city sidewalks and Fashion Week runways, in celebrity Instagram photo carousels and TikTok 'fit-check videos, 2024's decked-out double-denim trend is polished, playful, contemporary, and cool. Elegant even. A world away from the denim-on-denim looks from Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake in the early aughts
Beyoncé styles sharp denim blazers with micro-mini skirts, denim hot pants, and chambray thigh-hoot boots—a Cowboy Carter tuxedo. Also on a Western-style kick, Bella Hadid styles boot-cut jeans with denim biker jackets (an outfit that pairs well with her real-life cowboy boyfriend, Adan Banuelos). Meanwhile, Katie Holmes commits to denim suiting in her best wide-leg jeans and a medium-wash button-down vest.

Recent runway collections have also doubled as love letters to the sturdy textile. A slew of luxury designers—Alaïa, Carolina Herrera, Chanel, Dior, Fendi, Versace, amongst many more—paired the hardworking materials in head-to-toe looks. Simply put, 2024's denim trend playbook includes wearing as much of the hardworking material as possible.
But this isn't the Wild West; there are still several styling tactics to consider when curating a top-to-toe denim look this season. These street-style looks feature 11 denim-on-denim outfits and some style tips to ensure yours don't teeter into costume territory.
A Denim Maxi Skirt and Chambray Shirt

Give your blue jeans the day off and slip into a denim maxi skirt instead. Then, tuck in a chambray shirt in a similar wash (it doesn't have to be a picture-perfect match, but you want them to be close to each other on the color wheel). Notice how her accessories—a black leather belt, chain-link shoulder bag, and animal print pumps—contrast against the denim's light wash to balance out the outfit.
A Denim Suit

A denim suit is the outfit answer for in-office work days when you want to look put-together but not too formal and stuffy. The tailored separates make the outfit inherently professional, while its denim fabrication gives it a laid-back slant. Finish the look with a simple pair of pointed-toe pumps.
Contrasting Washes

Varied denim washes are where you can have fun: an indigo blue with heathered gray, dark denim with an acid wash—feel free to get creative. You can replicate the above look with a true blue jean jacket and baggy black jeans. Add some sparkle via a diamond tennis bracelet or crystal-embellished brooch for a touch of glam.
A Denim Bermuda Short and Shacket

Bermuda shorts are steadily gaining speed as a break-out summer 2024 trend. So, for eager fashion enthusiasts, why not combine two trends in one outfit by opting for a pair of long-line jean shorts and adding a denim shacket, too? A high-quality white tank top—like Atm's stretch-jersey style—is a great base to build the look around.
A White-on-White Combo

Break out of blue-washes with white jeans and a crisp denim jacket. It's a smart hack that doesn't read Western but stays true to the casual feel of a true-blue denim look. A cheeky pop of color—like a handbag in the ever-present red color trend, will keep the outfit from feeling completely neutral.
A Cropped Denim Jacket and High-Waisted Jeans

The primary factor in an outfit's success is its proportions. This Fashion Week show-goer strategically teamed an ultra-cropped denim jacket with a pair of high-waisted trousers, masterfully balancing each piece's dimensions. It's a simple detail with a high style pay-off.
A Cuffed Co-Ord

Follow this sharply dressed Fashion Week guest's lead and accessorize a utilitarian denim co-ord with a silk scarf to soften the look. The result blends old-school glamour with workwear practicality.
A Jean Dress With Denim Heels

The star of this look is undeniably the strapless denim maxi dress, artfully layered over a crisp white button-down shirt. But the shoes deserve some appreciation, too: By opting for denim pumps, this Fashion Week guest carries the outfit's theme from head to toe. A pair like Versace's printed denim pumps allow you to test drive the look yourself.
A Two-Tone Jean Jacket and a Midi Skirt

A two-tone jean jacket will do the color-clashing for you. The rest of the outfit is up to you—but, as demonstrated, a split-front denim midi and easy white tank top master the job perfectly.
A Denim Corset and Trousers

When you've grown tired of your usual going-out outfits (you can't wear a sequined skirt and strapless top every weekend), try a denim bustier and a jean trousers instead. The combo is unexpected, which is always a plus in a late-night look, and it demonstrates the full range of denim-on-denim possibilities.
A Bedazzled Dark Denim Set

It's an incontestable rule: high-shine embellishments mean more fun for everyone. Add a disco spirit to your outerwear collection with a crystal-embellished jean jacket. As for styling the shiny number, you can level up the look with similarly shiny bottoms, but a pair of simple jeans also works.
