The Canadian Tuxedo: Double Denim Style

As promised, I am styling the Girlfriend Laser Ikat Ankle Jeans from Chico’s with a denim jacket that is a double denim style, also known humorously as a Canadian Tuxedo.

History Behind the Canadian Tuxedo

Originating in Canada circa 1951, the Canadian Tuxedo kicked off with beloved American singer Bing Crosby while on a hunting trip in the Great White North. After a long day, he attempted to check into a bougie Vancouver hotel wearing head-to-toe Levi’s. To his surprise, he was denied service as he didn’t fit the hotel’s dress code. Funnily enough, Levi’s founder Levi Strauss heard about the kerfuffle and ended up creating a custom denim tuxedo specifically for Crosby.-The Iconic

The Canadian Tuxedo from Chico’s

This season, jeans and jean jackets with embellishments and panels will be spring’s hottest trend in denim. Dress up your casual style with Chico’s Floral Embroidered Denim Jacket. This classic jean jacket includes welt and chest pockets, but the longer length and beautiful embellishments make it a fabulous fashion piece. Wear it over solid-color tops and jeans for a perfect transition-season outfit.

I am wearing Chico’s Pima Elbow Sleeve Tee in French Rose, but the alabaster white would also look great with the denim jacket.

The jewelry is on repeat again. Of course, it is! When you find jewelry that looks great with denim by golly, girls wear it! The Denim Beaded Multistrand Necklace is a great necklace to add to your wardrobe. Chico’s has created a fun denim necklace that will become a staple in your jewelry collection. The Blue Chandelier Earrings are so fun that people are going to ask you where you got them! Chico’s, of course!

The Neutral Fringe Raffia Mules are so comfy that I will wear them a lot this spring and summer. They also come in black.

Now that you’ve got Canadian Tuxedo 101 under your belt, it’s time to start building your look. While trends come and go, good quality denim that fits well will always have a place in your wardrobe.
