Denim and Denim – The Art of the Canadian Tuxedo

Posted by LeeEllie on

Full denim. Head to toe. Are you brave enough? 🧥👖🤠

The "Canadian Tuxedo" (full denim outfit) has a wild history. Legend says Bing Crosby was denied entry to a fancy hotel in 1951 for wearing full denim. Levi's made him a custom tuxedo jacket as a PR stunt—and a style legend was born.

Today? Full denim is BACK. Here's how to nail it:

The Key: Contrast ⚖️

  • Different washes: Light jacket + dark jeans (or vice versa)

  • Different textures: Raw denim jacket + soft worn-in jeans

  • Different shades: True blue jacket + black jeans (still denim!)

The Formula 🧮
Start simple: jacket + jeans in complementary washes. Add a simple top (white tee, black sweater) and neutral shoes. Let the denim do the talking.

Level Up 🔝

  • Denim shirt under denim jacket (triple denim? you madman!)

  • Denim accessories: hat, bag, shoes

  • Matching set: same wash, same fabric, intentional matching

What to Avoid 🚫

  • Matching wash AND fabric exactly—can look like a uniform

  • Over-accessorizing—denim is bold, let it breathe

  • Frayed edges everywhere—a little distressing goes a long way

Celebrities Who Nailed It: 🌟

  • Rihanna (obviously)

  • Justin Timberlake & Britney Spears (iconic, controversial, unforgettable)

  • The cast of Friends (90s denim was WILD)

  • Modern street style stars everywhere
