Double Denim Outfits For Autumn | Weekday Wear Link Up

Cooler autumn days at the end of May meant being able to layer up and create these two double denim outfits. Both of these outfits pair blue denim jackets with differently coloured jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

This was such a wet day! School run gets just a little bit more tricky and frustrating when you add in the rain. Thankfully it was a nice dry morning though, and we didn't get wet on the way to school. We definitely needed our umbrellas in the afternoon! I helped out in my son's classroom before working from home before picking the kids up after school. It started raining just as I got to the school gate for school pick up - luckily I had my umbrella and was carrying the kids, so could let one of my friends borrow the boys umbrella for our dash to the classroom!

These faded black jeans were an awesome opshop find, and with the black jeans being such a different colour from the blue denim, I knew they would look good with this denim jacket. I can see these jeans becoming a firm favourite and hitting 30 wears quickly, and I will definitely wear them with this jacket again!

With the denim and the silver tank this outfit was missing something and a bit plain - the prune Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag was the perfect pop of colour and made the outfit feel a bit more like me and less neutral.


Last worn: denim jacket, metallic tank, beaded necklace, faded black jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers. First time I've shared the MAC bag on the blog, as I got it for Mother's Day.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, metallic tank and skirt, faded black jeans and kimono, Adidas Superstar sneakers and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester.

My Rebecca Minkoff Handbag Collection:

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tank: Sass and Bide "For Easy Reference" tank
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

Another blue denim jacket, with olive jeans this time! I liked wearing my brown floral kimono with these olive jeans previously, so I knew this brown printed tank would go nicely as well. The cooler autumn day meant I needed an extra layer, and this denim moto jacket is a cold weather staple.

Unlike the outfit above, I wasn't sure that the black Rebecca Minkoff tote was the perfect touch with this outfit, but I needed something practical for the day. As well as spending the morning at a school function watching the kids play, I was working from home and then had an appointment for my son in the afternoon after school pick up. I needed a big bag to hold our water bottles, and a book for him and for myself to amuse us in the waiting room.


Last worn: denim moto jacket, gold circle necklace, brown printed tank, olive jeans, Adidas Superstar (above), Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote.

Other ways to wear: denim moto jacket and midi dress, brown printed tank and maxi skirt, olive jeans worn 30 ways, Adidas Superstar and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and chambray dress.

30 Ways To Wear: Olive Skinny Jeans

For this month's 30 ways to wear post, I'm sharing 30 ways I've worn these olive skinny jeans. Green is a colour I used to avoid and find tricky to wear. After giving it a try, I've since realised olive is so easy for me to style, and a great neutral. You will see that these jeans go with everything, it's no surprise I've worn them over 30 times!

30 Ways To Wear Olive Jeans

I bought these olive jeans back in 2018. I'd admired them on the Jeanswest website but they were sold out so I was pleased to find them when I visited the store, on sale and in the right size. I bought the next size up as advised on the website as they were a tight fit, but with a lot of stretch in them I maybe should have stuck with my normal size as they have stretched out a bit over the years. It does make them very comfortable to wear though, and thankfully they still stay up without a belt!

Cost Per Wear

Cost per wear is tricky to calculate for these as I didn't note down in 2018 what the prices were of everything I bought. I know they were on sale and had an extra 40% off but I can't remember what I paid, or even if I used a gift card on them. With there being very similar jeans at Jeanswest currently, also for 40% off sale, at $29.99 I'm thinking I spent around that on these jeans. That would work out to just under $1 per wear as I've worn them 31 times since I got them 4 years ago, but that's just a guess as I can't recall what I paid. Definitely worth whatever I paid for them, even if they are stretching out a bit, as I love wearing these!

Here are my 30 favourite ways I've worn them, and some colour combinations you should try if you have a similar pair of jeans or pants in your wardrobe!

Olive Jeans With Black

This is an easy go-to when you're not sure how to wear something - pair it with black! A good black tee goes with everything, and I like black bags and dusters and printed scarves with these olive jeans too. The two neutrals work well together.

Olive Skinny Jeans With Blue

Blue and green is a combo that I used to think "shouldn't be seen" but that old fashion rule is made to be broken, I love blue and green together. These olive jeans are worn a lot with navy, but other shades of blue, like that cobalt scarf, can be a good combination too.

Olive Jeans and Shades of Brown

More neutral on neutral pairings! Brown jackets, scarves, bags, printed tanks and kimonos (despite all being different shades of brown) look good with olive. I do think that the beige trench is my favourite shade of brown to wear with these olive jeans though, and it's a nice cosy option in autumn and winter.

Graphic Tees and Olive Skinny Jeans

Jeans and a tee is a style staple for everyone! Changing things up a little with a graphic tee instead of a plain tee, and some colourful jeans like these olive ones instead of a classic pair of blue jeans, is a nice way to make a staple outfit formula feel a little different. You can see this white Edinburgh tee I picked up in Primark in Edinburgh is a firm favourite.

Olive Skinny Jeans Worn With Other Shades Of Green

In my quest to find more things that go with olive, I've tried wearing different shades of green with these olive jeans. Accessories like necklaces and scarves, even little green bags, and of course a bit bolder with the green floral duster. I like the brighter emerald green against the more muted olive denim.

Olive Skinny Jeans and Knits Winter Outfits

Colder days in autumn and winter are perfect jeans wearing weather here in Brisbane! It's so easy to just add a cosy knit on top of a pair of jeans and sneakers, and maybe a scarf too if it's really cold. The olive colour is a very versatile neutral to wear that goes with all the knits in my wardrobe, and the moss green shade helps add just a little colour to winter outfits.

Olive Skinny Jeans and Orange Outfits

Orange and green is a very bold combination! I tried it out in small doses with the little peach Rebecca Minkoff small Love crossbody bag first. When I figured out I loved the colours together, as you can see in the middle outfit there, I went a bit bolder with a bright neon orange printed tee. Definitely my favourite of those 3 outfits.

Wearing Yellow With Olive Skinny Jeans

With the muted neutral shade of the olive jeans, I found that just as I did above with the orange, I liked bold pops of colour with them. Yellow, particularly mustard yellow, looks so good worn with olive! Although I did try a more pastel yellow tee once, as you can see in 4 of these 5 outfits mustard became a real go-to for me with these jeans.
