Don’t let an early 2000s JT and Britney (yes, we’re still haunted by them) kill denim on denim for you. It’s said that the name originated from an incident involving American crooner Bing Crosby, who was once thrown out of a Canadian hotel for rocking the look. Now, it’s what brands from Calvin Klein 205W39NYC to Stella McCartney are sending down the runways as the new smart casual. Just apply the same rules as you would to a classic two-piece: The top and the bottom must match. Denim jeans (on left), Levi’s. All other clothes, in denim, Uniqlo. Leather booties, Cos. Prices unavailable. Socks, stylist’s own
