You look amazing and I think double denim is fine.

BigButtons · 13/09/2021 13:19

Personally not for me but I am lot older than you and still remember the 90s double denim phase, so maybe all is forgiven with the DD look . Good luck with a new you and a new future though! x

EachandEveryone · 13/09/2021 13:20

Of course its fine you look fab!

WorraLiberty · 13/09/2021 13:22

I've never seen the 'problem' with double denim and you look great.

'Acceptable' to whom though?

You're an adult. Dress however you want and stop bowing down to some ridiculous 'rules' that someone somewhere has made up, due to their own personal taste.

You are young, look lovely so why wear such a cheap looking drab outfit?

Make the most of your lovely figure and youth and wear something stylish.

You can dress down and look causal without compromising on style.

This is so rude.

You look great OP, I love the double denim look and congratulations on the weight loss. Must be very exciting to be starting again while you’re so young.

FilledSoda · 13/09/2021 13:32

You look lovely.
5 stone off is a huge achievement, well done you .

OneMillionSteps · 13/09/2021 13:37

You look great! Lovely and slim and a nice casual outfit.

Billybagpuss · 13/09/2021 13:37

You look great, I tend to avoid double denim having lived through the 80s and it does make me laugh looking back at it.

Congratulations on the weight loss

Mariell · 13/09/2021 13:37

Having an opinion isn’t rude. The op is lovely. The denim jacket and jeans combination are doing her no favours. It’s a cheap looking outfit and she deserves better.

Are you a little older @Mariell? Because your comment sounds like something an older person with not much idea of current fashion would say. Oversized denim jackets are very on trend and jeans are perennial.
FreddyMercurysCat · 13/09/2021 13:39

You look amazing and the double denim looks great on you.

Well done on weight loss

Jerseygirl12 · 13/09/2021 13:39

It looks good to me, I’d wear that out shopping etc.
Your figure is lovely.

ItWearsTheBatteriesOut · 13/09/2021 13:40

You look great, only thing I'd say is you can pull off a smaller sized jacket!

Lsjdjfjdh · 13/09/2021 13:41

I know what you mean - I went out in double denim the other day and felt a bit self conscious about it not sure why! But you look good so go for it.

Jerseygirl12 · 13/09/2021 13:43

I think double denim looks good on youngsters.

jay55 · 13/09/2021 13:43

Well done on the weight loss and dropping the husband.

You look fab, have fun experimenting with your look.

It is rude if it’s a rude opinion. The OP didn’t say this is how she wants to dress for every occasion, she was simply asking if she can pull off this specific look. Calling it cheap is really bloody rude. Should she add a tiara?
CaMePlaitPas · 13/09/2021 13:44

I think you look great. Congrats on the divorce and the weight loss!

Russell19 · 13/09/2021 13:44

I think they're too similar coloured denim. If you had a darker Jean and the jacket then yes or vice versa.

Unsure1983 · 13/09/2021 13:45

You look amazing!!!!!!

NutellaEllaElla · 13/09/2021 13:49

major congrats on the weight loss, you look amazing!

I often ask myself the same question but I can't bring myself to do it so it's a no to double denim from me.

52andblue · 13/09/2021 13:49

Massive well done on losing 5st - huge achievement.
re the Divorce but moving on is positive here too.
the pic you have posted looks great :)
Have fun experimenting with your new style!

dontgobaconmyheart · 13/09/2021 13:53

You look fab generally OP, the double denim is fine? I probably wouldn't wear it but I don't think anyone will be looking twice when you're out and about, it just looks like a very basic, perfectly acceptable chuck on outfit for popping to the shops or whatever rather than a 'style' or a statement.

I think it would have a bit more pep with black jeans or a shacket/,oversized shirt over jeans personally but the experimenting is the fun part.

I'm early thirties, if it matters, since apparently we can assume peoples ages based on their double denim opinions.

DriftGames · 13/09/2021 13:53

Wow, thank you everyone!

Firstly thank you for all of the lovely weight loss compliments - it's approaching 20 stone if you include the husband Wink

Not offended by any comments - I asked for opinions and that's what I got! I wore this to take toddler DD to soft play today, I'd wear it shopping/running errands etc. I do tend to wear more slim fit, less oversized outfits when I'm at work, out at the weekends etc, but comfort was key this morning!

Please feel free to style me!! Added a few pics of what I would wear day to day for an idea of what I currently go for.
