Spring 2012 Fashion Week Street Style Trend: Denim on Denim

>> It's in the jeans. Full-on denim looks were all over the runways for Spring 2011 — Jason Wu, Celine, Stella McCartney, and Chloe all offered up the style — and it looks like the trend is continuing for Fall. Over the past few weeks, we've spotted denim-on-denim on a handful of Fashion Week street style regulars — Lauren Santo Domingo even sported two separate versions of the look at recent shows. While the record-breaking high temperatures in Europe have no doubt made this breezy style work well now, there's no reason the look can't be worn straight through Winter with the addition of some key styling pieces. Click through to see street-snapped double-denim inspiration and shop all the looks, here in the slideshow.
