Though the look is famously referred to as the "Canadian tuxedo," denim-on-denim outfits are here to stay. One swift look at designer runways and stylish It girls on the street-style scene and you'll realize, double denim outfits, from classic jean jackets and skinnies to mixed washes and even colored denim styles, are at the forefront of casual-cool style.
