Well…if you won’t say it. I’ll go ahead and say it. Rihanna looks amazing in absolutely everything!! And she does it so effortlessly. Oh how I love to hate her. But this post isn’t about my obsession with Rihanna’s style {and body}. Nope. It’s about how she wears denim on demin…and gets away with it!
The Democracy of Denim…
I’ve always been taught to never mix different shades of denim. It was a sure way to get charged {and convicted} with fashion hypocrisy. But it seems Rihanna and many other fashion forward thinkers have taken to the streets for the democracy of denim. And they are doing it in a noble and fierce way. They are “jeaning” it up with dark and light denims — together. And it couldn’t be more fabulous.
Fashion Hypocrisy Exposed
So I was prepared to write this post with tips on how to wear denim on denim. Then a bit of defiance took over my fingers as I typed…erased…and re-typed this post. They are no rules ladies! Spring and Summer is upon us and this fashion ‘thang’ is supposed to be fun, right? I say wear this year’s denim-on-denim fashion trend however you like. But, as the fashion geek I pride myself on being, I must mention some must-have denim pieces for 2014.
“The key to mixing different shades of denim at once comes down to your shoes and handbag. An attention-getting shoe or handbag balances out a ‘heavy’ or ‘jeany’ look — making everything come together flawlessly. ”
