Double denim doesn't count if it's different colours

[YellowEllis]

I fully stand by that. AIBU?

I thought this was the amendment we all agreed to following the debacle called "the 80's".

I thought so too! MIL commented on my 1yo today wearing dark jeans and a blue denim jacket and couldn't believe I dressed him in double denim. I wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy! I do it all the time, black jeans, light wash denim jacket.

It still counts and is normally not a great look! Although there is the rare person who can pull it off...

Fashionistas: yes, small children: probably, rest of population: still quite shit I'm afraid.

I dress my child in double denim and they absolutely rock it. One of their cutest outfits.

Does not sound like a good look! Sorry OP.

It's still double denim and fair game for bewitched references.

I think it looks awful and wouldng do it but its up to everyone what they like,especially kids!

Still double denim.

I wear black jeans with a blue denim jacket but would never wear two shades of blue!!!

Never seen the issue with double-denim, be it the same color or not.

Seeing someone wear double-denim in different colours actually irks me as it doesn't match, to me denim should match... Like in this pic, love it.

I wouldn't wear it as denim isn't my thing, but matching colours looks more put-together imo.

I was born in the late 90s though so missed the 80s or whenever double was a thing.

Whereas these look awful to me...

Think black denim with blue denim works...

Double denim is same colour, possibly different tones. A time and a place for everything.

I think double denim looks great. I wear dark jeans and a light, shortsleeved, fine denim shirt open over a vest. One of my favourite outfits.

Where do we stand on a pink denim jacket with dark blue jeans? Asking for a friend...

Agree with pp, black jeans and blue denim jacket I do wear but never 2 lots of blue denim

I wear black jeans and a blue denim shirt.

I've read denim so many times on this thread it doesn't sound like an actual word now

Agree with @Puffalicious

I don't know... Maybe if one piece of denim is black... but even then I think it's dodgy ground.

Whoa. That was tripple denim on one picture!

It either needs to match with something else to break it up.
Or obviously different, but complimentary.
But not clashing shades.

YABU...never acceptable

Fine if totally different colours, such as JellyTeapot’s punk denim jacket. Blue jacket ok with a contrasting top and any colour jeans except blue.

Blue jacket with blue jeans is a no.

What’s everyone’s view on brightly coloured jeans? I’m having a colour blocking phase and am pondering a pair of red jeans.

One of my best moments was in the us - Midwest - when staying with a relative who came out in de rigour double denim - my siblings and I both just automatically said oh ‘double denim - looks good’ without thinking. There then followed a long explanation of the whole U.K. DD ‘thing’ with said relative looking at us like we were absolutely mad - by the end of I too thought we were mad. we were in the land of daily double denim !! DDD !!! (Sometimes even triple with a shirt and jacket involved)
