STUDENT TREND SATURDAY: DENIM ON DENIM

STS

Nov 11

History repeats itself, and that sentiment does not exclude fashion. Trends from the 90s have been coming back in a big way over the past few years. Once we escaped the horrors of tacky and mismatched 2010s fashion, we entered a new era of clean and coordinated style. The cuter trends from the nineties started to make their way back into the fashion cycle in the form of chokers, butterfly clips, and Rachel-Green-from-Friends-esque outfits. These trends have been incorporated into the simple styles of today to create a modern yet reminiscent fusion of looks.

One of the main trends we have seen reconquer the fashion scene as of late is denim on denim. A more controversial trend, denim on denim tends to divide people on whether or not its comeback is deserved. In the defense of the dissenters, the Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake 2001 AMAs debacle should never be repeated. However, if done the right way this style can look extremely fashion forward, flattering, and finely tuned to today’s casual trends while still incorporating reminiscence of eras past. The following Bruins have taken this style in stride and shown that denim on denim can and should be worn if done well.
