Whether you love it or absolutely detest it, double denim is a thing again. Heck, even triple denim is suddenly acceptable. Even with this resurgence, there are still many who find rocking two pieces of denim rather intimidating. We totally get it. Even the most ambitious fashion fan doesn't want to look like they're visiting from another era. Specifically the early aughts. The best way to embrace double denim in 2025? By incorporating bold blouses into your outfits.
Texture certainly helps. Like piles of ruffles, a spattering of sequins, lots of lace and even plissé. Fancy cuffs increase the impact. It's like turning things up to 11. Just make sure to pull said cuffs through the cuffs of your jean jacket. Another important thing to consider is the shape of a blouse's sleeves. You don't want them to be too structured or they won't fit inside the aforementioned jacket. You should also skip off-the-shoulder tops because the sleeves are sometimes attached to the tops.
While their primary purpose is disrupting all that denim, they'll become valued parts of your wardrobe. You'll be able to pair them with practically everything, from wide-leg trousers to miniskirts. Speaking of wide legs, these blouses will work with any type of jeans. Not to mention any type of jacket. Some of our selections come with designer prices, but considering their versatility, they're actually quite a steal. We did round up several lower-cost options in case you can't afford to make a bigger investment.
