As a fashion girl, I’ve learned the importance of a foolproof outfit formula. Sometimes you can’t be bothered to turn a look, and I’m here to tell you, that’s OK. One of my “when in doubt” outfits is a Canadian tuxedo. Denim on denim is always a good option because you’ll look put together even if you don’t feel put together.

Get creative by mixing different washes or you can stick to a monochrome moment. The silhouette is important to consider because there are so many options. Try an oversized shirt with a slim straight leg-jean, or a denim vest with a low-rise baggy fit. A cropped denim jacket paired with a denim midi is always a win. Clearly, a lot can be done with denim.

What can really set a look apart are the accessories. Personally, when rocking a Canadian tuxedo, I pile them on. I’m talking chunky belts, bracelets, 47 necklaces, more is more in my mind. On the other hand, if sleek and simple is more your thing, that can still pack a punch. Today, we are going to show you the best denim shirts to shop now, then check back later this week for the next ingredient to the perfect Canadian tuxedo formula.
