Over time, certain fashion don’ts can become fashion dos! One such look is wearing a matching denim set. The concept of wearing ‘double denim’ has evolved mightily since the days when matching a jean jacket to jeans was given the moniker, ‘a Canadian tuxedo.’ It was a look made famous by Justin Timberlake, who appeared at the 2001 American Music Awards with then-girlfriend Britney Spears, wearing a jacket and jeans in a light wash denim. Since then, it has become a fashion staple for women as well as men. Here are our top ten styles from the runways for 2024.

Skirts range from micro minis to maxi lengths
