Wearing double denim is a horrifying concept to many. However, put those mental images aside, because wearing denim on denim can look really fashion forward — all it takes is a little creative styling. Double denim is a comfortable, class-appropriate trend to rock, and you probably already own the pieces needed to recreate this look!

Ready to take on the challenge? Read on for tips on how to make this trend work in the real world!

Tips & Tricks for Pulling off Double Denim

Use different shades of denim to break up your outfit. Try dark jeans with a light chambray top, or a denim top with black jeans.
Try it with accessories. A denim bag or headband with a pair of jeans is an easy way to rock this trend
Avoid looking costumey by shying away from anything western. If a costumey look isn’t what you’re after, skip pairing this look with cowboy boots, huge belt buckles, fringe, etc.
Pair it with something feminine. A pretty headband, blingy earrings, floral print, and girly shoes will break up the industrial look of double denim.
Be careful with 80s styling. Slap bracelets, fingerless gloves, crimped hair, or anything bedazzled can make denim on denim look dated.

Outfit Ideas for Rocking Double Denim

Outfit #1: Chambray Shirt and Jeggings

Outfit #2: Distressed Jeans and a Vest

Outfit #3: Black Jeans and Denim Jacket

Would You Wear.... Blue Lipstick?

It’ girl Amber Rose was spotted in Atlanta this weekend doing one of the things she does best—rocking something that most would normally back away from. Now I’m as daring as they come with makeup colors, but even I would have to leave the blue lip to the bold star.

If you were so inclined, here’s two blues to get your hands on:

Graftobian Pro Blue Lipstick or L’paige Blue Aloe Vera Lipstick

Or do-it-yourself with some lip-safe blue pigment and clear lipgloss.

Would you rock it?

Fall Fashion Trends That’ll Make You Look 10 Pounds Thinner

A winter trench coat:

No need to save those cinched-in, super-flattering trench coats till spring! Get one in sturdy leather or lined in a warm fabric and it’ll be the hippest, sleekest winter coat you’ve ever seen (or worn!).

Slip a sheer-sleeve shirt on underneath:

Think of this sheer shirt as one fab multitasker: Not only will a long-sleeve sheer black shirt sveltify your arms, it’ll also make all those skimpier, sleeveless shirts and dresses work year-round.

Top off a full skirt with a cropped jacket:

A tailored and fitted jacket up top makes everything else—especially a sexy hourglass shape—look neat ‘n’ dainty. Wha-bam!

Do the matching shoes and tights thing

Don’t have long Gisele-like legs? Fake ‘em by wearing tights that share the same hue as your shoes—they’ll make your legs go on and on.

Layer a bright belt over a chunky cardigan

Say buh-bye to wintery bulk by cinching on a bright belt over a cardigan. The sleek shape and look-at-me hue will catch eyes and direct them to your sexy, cinched-in hourglass shape.

Wear one color from head to toe

The color of the season looks especially fab (and so will you!) when worn from head to toe. Not feeling the color? Any other hue will do as monochromatic outfits have a way of making a woman look extra lean.

Invest in a double-breasted suit

Working gals with a strict office dress code are in luck this season: The latest cool-girl tailored style comes in the form of a double-breasted suit. The coolest cuts nip in at the waist and have a deep-V, which whittles the waist even more.

Do the tuxedo dressing thing out at night

As we all know, a black blazer is a girl’s best friend, but a posh tuxedo jacket with flattering, satiny V-shaped lapels is the L.C. to our Lo—it always makes us look and feel fab. Get one that hits just above the thigh to elongate your cute bod.

Sassy red heels

WHOOSH! That’s the sound of someone’s gaze free-falling from your grin all the way down to your hot, sexy heels. The up-and-down glance will stretch you out, while the compliments your shoes get will make you smile.
