double denim dare

After recently re-watching our way through the 1994 television masterpiece 'The Stand' (ahem, note the sarcasm please), discussions of all-denim outfits have been frequent in my house. [For those of you who either didn't grow up in the '90s and therefore never stayed up late watching this crap the first time - OR - those of you who had better sense to begin with: the quasi-devil character named Randell Flagg wears a TRIPLE THREAT denim outfit in every one of his scenes. That's right, he is an evil being from the underworld and the fearsome textile called denim is the only fabric downright sinister enough to clothe him. Or something like that.] 

My point, is that what started out as a joke - the idea of putting together a double, or even triple-denim ensemble, without 'feeling Flaggy' of course (since Stephan King did give me quite a model of how NOT to look when wearing an all-denim suit) has become a strangely appealing challenge.

I'm not sure if there is a key other than avoiding any attempt to match colors/weights/washes and sticking with contrast-pairings only, but that seems like a good place to start. I've found evidence to support this strategy, of course. Examples:

 via cat party

It worked then, obviously...

  via style sightings

 ...and it still works now.

Tune back in later to see how I've managed to pull this off (let's hope).
