How to properly wear double denim.

The weather cools down, leaves turn from greens to yellows and browns, and the fashion changes from skirts to jeans. As fall is upon us now, we tend to see more people indulging in the fashion faux pas of double denim. Fall is a time to layer, accessorize, and be an ultimate cutie in layers. Double denim is a look you see often on soccer moms, any man who identifies as a dad, and college students who think that they are being revolutionary by wearing this popular 1980s look.

However, those Double D looks only work 30 percent of the time. This is largely in part because when wearing double denim, it is all about varying shades, lengths, accessorizing, and remembering not to go full "Canadian Tuxedo" (denim on denim on denim with a full hint of denim). Now this is not to dismiss individuals from wearing double denim, but rather to highlight how you can wear the look and be cute each time!

To begin, let us start with double denim "No-Nos." The "Canadian Tuxedo" is not a look you want to wear, because you will look overdone in one material.

Canadian Tuxedos:

Above, two Orioles baseball players adorn themselves in the famous "Canadian Tuxedo" for their trip to Toronto. Notice how each member wears shades of denim that are monochrome with their looks. One must remember fashion is about how your outfit transitions, and when you wear the same shade of denim it appears harsh on the eyes, making your outfit look blocky. It's the same if you wear lengths of denim that do not match: You can end up looking shorter and like a Lego character.


Those Double D looks can be done correctly, but it is all about the right accessorizes and following the basic fashion statements: Remember lengths and shade!

Double Ds Done Right:

This young man wears a denim jack cropped the right length for his pants, and takes the look from being monochrome by having a slight difference in hues of denim colors.

SHE IS SLAYING THE GAME! This miss here accessorizes her denim, taking it from drab to fab by simply adding some sex appeal and sophistication to the look.

These gentlemen show that those Double Ds can be classic and hip. By cuffing their denim, they create just the right length to add character to their denim and follow through by accessorizing with accents of brown throughout their looks.


Look how Yoncé effortlessly blends her denim; lengths are correct, of varying shades, and styled correctly!



You do not have to be a fashion faux pas! You can wear the Double D if you remember: Shades, Length, and Accessories!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
