If you do one thing this season make sure it is to double up your denim.

If you do one thing this season make sure it is to double up your denim.

Fancy yourself as a bit of a jean genius, show your true colours this season in a denim duo and you certainly will be.  The spring shows were a sea of denim for 2010, but models were wearing not one but two pieces of designer denim.  This is certainly a look to keep an eye on as is set to be big for this season.  With fashion followers such as Alexa Chung, Ashley Olsen and Sienna Miller already sporting the look its no surprise.
The runways showcased an array of denim creations; everything from classic pieces such as jackets and jeans to statement items including denim brogues and studded cuffs took to the runway.  For laid back luxe slip an oversized button down denim boyfriend shirt over any outfit, or alternatively to add a little edge to an ensemble, work this season’s denim vest either layered over a long sleeved tee or teamed with a plaid shirt.

Designers at this season’s shows were predominantly channelling the inner 70’s chic, with the main rule of the runway being to mix and match.  The catwalk emulated this rule perfectly by showcasing a mix match of shades thrown together and in turn created a high impact statement look.

A key point to note when working this season’s denim doubling trend is to keep each piece a shade apart otherwise you run the risk of looking like you have just stepped out in an all in one body suit.

The most popular denim styles for spring/summer 2010 appear to be in the shape of skinny, distressed and torn, created in dirty khaki, grey, black and blue tones.
