Fall means the dog days of denim, but this fall means denim on denim. To the sartorially blind eye, this trend may seem limited to runways and ranch-hands, but adding chic neutrals and a few feminine flourishes makes it more wearer friendly.
The key to making this fall fresh look work for you is contrasting denim in similar color families. Taking a grey-tone denim and mixing it with a blue tone denim top shocks the eye and doesn't work. I like light blue and dark blues to keep from looking drab. If you've never embraced the monochromatic look, and aren't sure you're ready for this, try mixing a distressed denim shirt with a sleek pair of white jeans. Make sure your look is figure flattering by working a boyfriend inspired top with super skinny jeans - ankle length is very of the moment.
Ground the look with feminine pieces like a gold ring, a stack of thin bracelets and silky scarf for print. I love adding neutral accessories like toffee colored booties and a belt.
Don't be shy. This chic look is easy to wear, and utterly of the moment. Jeans and a button down is an easy look; when you throw in the Oxford for a borrowed from the boys denim shirt you take your style from prepster to style-setter.
