We’ve got to say, double denim (or the Canadian Tuxedo, if you will), is sort of a standard for us at this point. We don’t bat an eyelash if we’re strolling through Brooklyn and spot someone stylishly sporting this mono-denim combo. WWD says it’s only just getting revved up, though, and it may be that the two-toned denim-on-denim trend is about to streamline into same-wash territory. Excited? Horrified? Either way, click through to see their slide show and figure out whether this trend progression is for you.

Gwen Stefani likes to push the envelope when it comes to fashion, and she’s no different with denim. And, we think she did alright with this Norma Kamali denim on denim ensemble: a slim fitting denim jacket with a drop hem tail, and skinny jeans with an unusual diagonal zipper close. Stefani was snapped in Paris, while heading to a TV appearance. We think the secret to rocking any double denim look is a custom fit. We’d like to think Denim Therapy had something to do with how her denim jacket and skinny jeans fit on her like a glove (off the rack, the crotch hangs lower), but not this time. By the way, Ms. Stefani (or do you prefer Mrs. Rossdale?), if you’re reading this, have your people give us a call. We’ll hook you up with one of our expert services for your next public appearance. Just sayin’.

Apparently this guy doesn’t know he was channeling sex gods, but he openly admitted he regrets a lot of his style-decisions in the past, from corn rows in his pop-star days to the denim-on-denim suit he wore to the American Music Awards in 2011.
He commented:
“God, I feel I’ve gone to therapy just to erase some of them. The cornrows I wore with ‘N Sync. That was pretty bad. Britney and I wore matching denim outfits [to the 2001 American Music Awards]. Yeah, another bad choice. I’d probably pay good money to get some of those pictures off the internet.”
Too late, rhinestone cowboy.

Zac was recently snapped wearing Levi’s at the airport, and it was a double dose! We loved how he styled it: a vintage flight jacket (paired perfectly with his aviator sunglasses) adds layering texture and breaks up his indigo double denim combo. It’s a relaxed yet sophisticated look. His Levi’s by Opening Ceremony Trucker Jacket in 2×1 Indigo is tastefully de-emphasized but still visible. Zac is also wearing a Levi’s Super Skinny 510 jeans in Spokes wash. It looks like Zac is ushering in the new era of the Canadian Tuxedo. Are you down for it?
Want to try out Zac’s vintage-inspired double denim look yourself? Get your feet wet with a denim brand you’re comfortable with and personalize it with a favorite jacket and a pair of trusty sunglasses.
