Fashion Friday: Denim on Denim

Normally, I wouldn't touch this style with a ten foot pole no matter how much it was trending. But there are some ways to pull off a trend like this without being super 90s tacky flashback. Go for a distressed/torn jeans look, and wear the shirt with the sleeved rolled, the top buttons open and a cute tee underneath. On the D&G Denim Spring 2010 runway (pictured below), they paired their all denim look with some cute retro Minnie tees. I'd stick with a heather grey or any light colored neutral. Don't match the shirt to the jeans, choose slightly different hues and finish the whole look off with some tan boots and belt. Tacky flashback who?

It's like the little black dress for hijabis... except it's a little black cardigan. Here are a bunch of really nice ones, all from Forever 21.

How to Wear the Classic Beige Trench

In my previous Fashion Friday post, I talked about the beige trench coat trend. The trench is such a classic piece because of its versatility, it can be dressed up or down. Here are some ways to do just that, as well as tips from the Spring 2010 runways.

How to wear the Classic Beige Trench by Hijabulous featuring Arden B 


Items in this set: Charm Paisley Print Ruffle Dress, $78 Bell Sleeve Trench, $33 Cambridge Rhinestone Button Bootcut Jean, $68

• Trenches come at all lengths, with or without sleeves.
• Wear yours tied at the waist - either with a contrasting belt, as at Marc by Marc, or with a soft leather waist-cincher, as seen at Burberry (On the right).
• Take a styling cue from Charles Anastase, Aquascutum and Burberry and make sure your outfit can peek through by belting it with the buttons undone (On the left).
