Blue Times Two by Maddie Crisp

FASHION IN FOCUS

Strengthen your style with this trio of trends.

The Texas Tuxedo is finally getting the respect it deserves. This season, wearing denim with denim is a verified fashion trend, and the jeans scene is even extending to include denim accessories like handbags and hats. How to wear it? That’s up to you. Channel your inner ’70s hippie, Western cowboy or model-off duty look, and bring on the tones, textures, washes and hardware accents — the possibilities go well beyond what Levi Strauss could have imagined when he invented the classic denim jean in 1873. The brands to shop range from luxury ready-to-wear collections from brands like Prada and Fendi to mainstream contemporary brands you can snag off the rack such as Frame. Whether you dress up your double denim with a pair of heels or keep it casual with white sneakers or boots, it’s totally up to you. Just don’t pair anything with skinny jeans – those have not come back yet. — Maddie Crisp
