Denim is always on trend, so you might as well double down. Here are 15 cool, sexy, and fun takes to get you inspired, plus tips on how to make them work for you. Let these stylish ladies be your guides and you'll be a denim-on-denim master in no-time.
1. Classic cool
Cutoff jean shorts give basic denim-on-denim a sexy little kick. Front-tuck your shirt and add a nice, thick belt to help break up all that blue.
2. Need a jump?
A good denim jumpsuit should be slouchy, not skintight. Add a little visual interest by cuffing the legs and rolling up the sleeves or layer a cool tank or T-shirt underneath and leave the top unbuttoned to show it off. Whatever accessories you choose are guaranteed to stand out against all that blue, so make sure you're putting your best shoe (and bag) forward.
3. A strong base
Even when the shades and textures don't match perfectly, denim shoes and denim pants begin to blend into one another, making your cute or printed top, bold jacket (or both) the undisputed stars of the outfit.
4. Borrowed from the boy
A slouchy pair of boyfriend jeans (with or without the holes) pairs perfectly with an equally slouchy front-tucked chambray shirt. Balance out the look with more structured accessories like pointed pumps and a smart little cross-body bag.
5. Grunge all over again
The '90s are back, so that means grunge is back too. Turn a perfectly worn-in denim shirt into a lightweight jacket and pair it with jeans of a different shade, print, or color. The add some acid wash and bleach stains to your denim and tie a lightweight flannel around your waist for a full-on grunge homage.
6. Overall sex appeal
Add a sexy edge to workaday overalls by layering them over a lacy cami or other lingerie-inspired top, and then dress it up with a chic coat and a pair of heels.
7. Patch perfect
Balance a busy patchwork denim shirt with solid denim mini skirt or a great pair of cut-off shorts.
8. Trailblazer
Top off a classic denim shirt and jeans combo with a structured blazer and a chic pair of heels for a look that's equal parts comfy and pulled together.
9. Cuff 'em!
A good cuff is great for adding a little visual interest to minimalist, unwashed denim. Match your jacket to your jeans for a fresh, casual take on the basic blue suit.
10. Prints charming
A tonal print on one piece makes a basic denim shorts and shirt combo feel fresh and just a little bit playful.

11. Get Boosted
A denim bustier gives loose-fitting jeans a sexy upgrade whether as all one piece or as separates. A soft-constructed jacket helps balance out the volume in the pants, while a high, pointed heel mirrors the sharp, more fitted look of the bustier. And, of course, everything looks better with a nice pair of shades.
12. All dressed up
A high-necked denim dress can easily start to look boxy, so it's a good idea to emphasize your waist with a cute belt. Add a short jacket and leave it open to create the illusion of a narrower top, then add a bold necklace to help bring attention up toward your face.
11. Jean, white, and blue
If head-to-toe indigo is just too much for you to bear, try pairing white and blue jeans together for a less conspicuous spin on double denim.
14. Texture by the ton
Texture, print, or both can break up a big block of blue, especially when it comes to an oversize silhouette like this one. Just make sure to balance out all that volume on top with something short and/or fitted on the bottom.
15. Little things do a lot
Denim Vans slip-ons and a worn-in denim shirt, tied at the waist, give a non-denim T-shirt-and-skirt combo a very denim feel — cool, confident, and unavoidably on trend.
