Denim...

Can you wear a blue denim jean jacket with black denim pants? I did today and somehow it just didn't feel right. What do you think? I'd google it, but I trust your advice more.

Um - I'm definitely no fashion consultant, but I think there's a (pop culture) name for wearing denim on both top and bottom. Ed would know the term. I don't think it's a positive one.

Ed's home. "Canadian Tuxedo" (that's the term I was looking for). There's another one too, but I'm not puttin' out here...

Sorry I'm no help. I get excited if my socks match. I used to know ALL the rules about 15years ago though. Ask me something about the late 80's or early 90's and I could be very helpful.

Canadian tuxedo? Oh no. I'm going to be obsessed with that all day...Yes, Sheri, I guess there is such a thing as too much denim and I'm guilty of it.

Sheri, I guess I would have to say that it's probably a no-no.
Please note--these are not my own rules. They are my sister's rules. I turn to her in any time of crisis. She's my fashionista.

I'm right there with Katie. Only mine are more the early 80's...big hair, the whole thing.

The first question I usually ask is "What's clean?"!!

Sounds kind of "off" to me, Blue Jean Jackets look nice with Kahki's or white pants- probably not black denim. ?Why? It's just what my color conscious brain says.

Carla said...

Seeking clarity here. Blue denim jacket with blue denim jeans is fine?? But not black? What gives? Where have I been? What's clean?

Carla, just to clarify, I looked into the Canadian tuxedo thing and it turns out that a blue denim jacket with blue denim jeans is a no-no. Some people wear them together (me) but other people make fun of it.

I'm still horrified over this.

Um...Coffeegirl?
Why are you asking US?
Kris, don't be horrified. We all love you.

Good question, Erin. Until last month, I thought the whole rule about white between Labor Day and Memorial Day meant EVERYTHING white; not just pants! Not that I followed the rule. I just couldn't, for the life of me, figure out why anyone would make a white sweater then... ;-)

In my simple thinking - denim jackets work with everything but I might just be thinking to simple.

Oh...I love all of you. How fun was this! So...I'm shocked that you really can't wear a denim jacket with the same color denim pants. I knew in my gut that mixing the denim just didn't look right...thus..Canadian tuxedo. We've learned so much today. I also heard that tucking isn't in anymore. Thank goodness for that!! I've never been a good tucker.

Maybe our motto should be..if it feels good..wear it.
