Tracing a trend: double denim

Over time, certain
fashion don’ts can become fashion dos! One such look is wearing a
matching denim set. The concept of wearing ‘double denim’ has evolved
mightily since the days when matching a jean jacket to jeans was given
the moniker, ‘a Canadian tuxedo.’ It was a look made famous by Justin
Timberlake, who appeared at the 2001 American Music Awards with
then-girlfriend Britney Spears, wearing a jacket and jeans in a light
wash denim. Since then, it has become a fashion staple for women as
well as men. Here are our top ten styles from the runways for 2024.
