I love the shopping site Farfetch as much as the next man, but I was not happy with today’s feature, a lesson on How to Wear Double Denim.<\/p>\n

First of all, I don’t want the term “double denim.” Take it away! Who made it up, anyway? Is it The Gap? WendyB<\/a> discussed the wearing of double denim a few weeks ago. Most of her readers seemed to feel, Yes, I’m into it. \u00a0 I personally didn’t like the examples she showed but then I forgot about it. Now I see it’s a bona fide fashion Problem.<\/p>\n

If you need to ask how to wear double denim, you should just give up. Don’t wear anything. Stay home in bed. How hard is wearing denim for fuck sake?!<\/p>\n

Farfetch shows us three ways<\/a> to “pull if off.” This is perilously close to “getting it right.” It’s so dogmatic! Who is to decide whether you pulled it off, besides the Satorialist?<\/p>\n

The looks devised by Farfetched seem completely arbitrary but they are given categories, because People like categories. There is Tough<\/strong>, Pale<\/strong> and Preppy<\/strong>. Preppy is a silly Tom Sawyer costume, Pale is kind of Pseudo French Girl, and Tough is sexy because it’s modeled by Abby Lee Kershaw<\/strong>, a young goddess. There are all sorts of bossy rules involved in each look.<\/p>\n

Now I’m feeling really bad about double denim. I don’t think I normally wear jeans with anything else denim, but whatever, it’s dead to me now.<\/p>\n

HOWEVER! I just went to Macy’s<\/strong> to get my kid a shirt and in the men’s department they had skin tight skinny cut Levi’s in bright colors like turquoise and red, for only $59. I would wear red Levi’s<\/strong> with a denim jacket. But not now. I’m too stubborn, and I don’t have $59.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
