This Is How Fashion Girls Will Be Wearing Denim in 2024, Period
These days, it seems like denim washes, fits, and rises cycle through periods of popularity every week rather than every decade. (Remember actual trend cycles? Me neither.) Because of that, reporting on such changes in the jeans space can, at times, feel repetitive. I'm not going to do that. Instead, I've chosen to focus my time and energy on the ways that chic people are wearing their jeans as opposed to the types of jeans they're wearing. And in 2024, there's one particular styling method that's taking the fashion world by storm.
Canadian tuxedos aren't exactly new, but then again, what is? Like everything else in fashion, the trend of wearing denim with denim tends to return to the sartorial zeitgeist every few years, always with a fresh, modern look that makes us remember why we loved it so much the last time it was cool. And by the looks of my Instagram feed and TikTok (9M posts and counting), 2024 is gearing up to be the latest year afflicted. Ahead, see how fashion girls are doubling up on denim ahead of the fall.
For a pared-down take on the Canadian tuxedo, wear the top half of the denim look open with a white tee underneath, and then layer a contrasting piece of outerwear on top. That way, it looks less matchy-matchy.
Shop the look:
From Givenchy to Mango, rhinestone-encrusted denim is everywhere right now. And what better way to show it off than by wearing it from head to toe?
Shop the look:
If you want to take the Canadian-tuxedo trend even further, follow Elsa Hosk's lead by topping off the double-denim look with denim boots and a denim-colored handbag.
Shop the look:
If you're ever stumped on what to wear, just grab a simple denim or chambray button-down shirt and some matching (or close to matching—a slight discrepancy in wash is NBD) jeans. No matter the shoes or accessories you choose, the combo will look good.
Shop the look:
Personally, I love to mix and match washes when it comes to a Canadian tuxedo. It breaks up the look and allows for a ton of different options for tackling the trend.
Shop the look:
For everyone who likes the idea of a Canadian tuxedo but doesn't care for the style of traditional jean jackets, you've come to the right place. Switch things up by opting for a moto-style take on outerwear like the one from NSF below.
Shop the look:
It can be fun to drape yourself in logos and really go for it every now and then. If that time is now, let this look be your styling guide.
Shop the look:
Canadian tuxedos can sometimes feel like a big deal to wear, even though separately, denim jackets and jeans are two of the most casual items in our wardrobes. Don't be afraid to keep the outfit super chill with easy clogs and a white tee.
Shop the look:
For a super-elevated take on the trend, opt for mid to darker washes and pair them with classic accessories, like black boots and sunglasses.
Shop the look:
This look, more than any of the above, makes me want to run to my closet, bring out my denim offerings, and debut my first Canadian tuxedo of 2024. Specifically, I love the idea of styling a collared shirt underneath with the collar worn above the denim jacket's collar.
Shop the look:
Find the darkest wash you can find and buy it. When your accountant asks why, send them this outfit.
