Two denims. They don't match. That's the point. An oversized washed-black denim jacket, open, sleeves rolled once, over a cream ribbed tank and light-wash straight jeans worn high. Black chelsea boots, never a sneaker. I let the washes argue. I win. Off-duty, any month.

Double denim in two washes: a washed-black oversized jacket over a cream ribbed tank and pale straight jeans, with black chelsea boots.

A washed-black denim jacket, cut oversized with dropped shoulders and the sleeves rolled once, worn open over a cream ribbed knit tank. Below, straight-leg jeans in a pale, almost bleached wash, high at the waist, and black leather chelsea boots with a low block heel.

Two denims, two washes, and no attempt to make them match: the contrast is the point. The jacket does the work of a coat on a bright, cool afternoon, the tank keeps it from feeling heavy, and the boots mean it walks for hours. Spring and autumn, any street, any errand that turns into a longer one. Hands in the front pockets, hair down, nothing else needed.

I wear this jacket in exactly one size too big. That is the correct size.
