Jeans: Zara (similar here and here); Top: New Look (identical); Coat: Dawn Levy Design (similar here and here); Shoes: Zara (similar here and here); Beanie: Sosken Studio (identical)

With us being on the cusp of spring, this outfit has quite literally become my go-to. It’s easy, lightweight, and I find that the beanie gives it the kind of edge it needs. What’s funny about this look though, is that I remember just a couple of years back, I’d sworn I’d never wear double denim, when in fact it’s one of my favourite outfit formulas now. What I learned from that was to never say never when it comes to fashion.

Are there any trends you never thought you’d try but ended up loving?

    Like you I had sworn off the double denim, but if I hadn’t already come round to the idea I would have after seeing your post! It looks fabulous on you, but I’m really obsessing about that coat! Love it xx

    Loving the denim on denim on you, lady! And the colour blue; it makes your hair pop! I swore I would never put on culottes! And yesterday’s blog post I was clearly sporting them! lol… Funny how you find appreciation for things you didn’t think possible!

    I’m loving your denim-on-denim look, Siffat; you look so street-chic! I can definitely relate to having thought I’d never wear a trend or style of clothing, only to eventually end up loving it. I think when we keep seeing it on repeat and how others style it, we get more inspired to come out of our box, which is pretty cool, isn’t it?! Anyway, I hope you have the most amazing day ahead, beautiful, and thanks so much for sharing!

    XO,

    Love the denim on denim, Siffat! I still remember when skinny jeans came onto the scene and I swore I would never wear them. Oh, how times change!

    A cool beanie and denim is perfect for Spring Time. I don’t think anyone wants to wear double denim but then it just happens! Hahaha!

    I love this denim on denim look. I know what you mean about swearing you would never wear something and yet doing so. A while back I thought I’d never wear culottes. I love them now.

    Love the double denim and the beanie! A long time ago I sworn I would never wear jeans. Now I wear them almost all the time. I guess that’s not really a trend, but it’s something that never goes out of style. You look beautiful in this outfit!

    I swore off denim on denim as well! But after seeing this, I may have to reconsider! You look lovely.

    I am quite open when it comes to trying out different trends but if it doesn’t work for me, then I will usually be too lazy to explore more. Love your effortless look, gorgeous as always!

    Yes, there are a few trends that I’ve caught myself previously saying, “I’ll never wear,” and end up loving at some point. This long coat is wonderful. I am finally able to go outside without a coat, which is great. /Madison 🙂

    I’ve been coming around to denim on denim but this takes it to a whole new level of chic! This is a STUNNING look!

    I think I wasn’t into chokers at first but now I love them. The styles that are out now are a lot more stylish than the ones I remember growing up. There are plenty of things that are in my life now that I never thought I would be so I’ve learned to stop saying “never” and instead say “not now.”
