SPOT / AKM-GSIDenim-on-denim is not our first thought when getting dressed in the morning.
While most monochrome outfits come off looking chic, it can be a slippery slope when you're wearing the same textured fabric from head to toe. So how do celebs like Vanessa Hudgens and Olivia Culpo manage to make us want to reach for full-on denim ensembles? By making smart choices. Whether it's a form-fitting one-piece or a mix of denim shades, these celebs are making a strong case for the trend.
Olivia, for example, never has a garment out of place, and this perfectly matched dark denim pant and jean combo is no exception. For sophisticated Southern flair, a crisp button-up tucked into a well-tailored pair of flares is ideal. Sweeten up the look with a bow around the neck and, of course, a big smile.
Hilary Duff does overalls right. A pair that's tight around the hips and flared at the legs keeps the focus on the actress' shape. A light denim keeps this look daytime-appropriate, but a version in a dark denim or even black, would seamlessly transition the look for nighttime. Just don't forget those heels!
Alessandra Ambrosio's signature California style is brought to life with this dressed-down ensemble. A pair of cropped flares will give your day-off look a slightly ‘70s vibe, regardless of what you pair it with. For a layered look, an oversized jacket, like Ale's denim parka will drive home the off-duty style.
Model Jasmine Tookes is the the definition of urban chic in her lace-up heels and distressed denim overalls. Alone, light fade looks straight from the farm, but to dress up the casual vibe, pair a soft, silk shirt underneath to dress it up. Any lightweight fabric will be the perfect contrast to sturdy denim. If you're feeling really chic, cat-eye sunnies and a slick, tight bun modernize the look.
If you're like Vanessa, a no-fuss onesie like this cropped denim one is the answer. For a boho feel, a loose-fitting style in a light denim is all you need. To accessorize, dainty layered jewelry, a side-saddle leather bag and undone hair complete your look.
