2.) You can’t wear denim on denim
I was in college when I first learned what a Canadian tuxedo was. I had worn a denim jacket with jeans to a party and one of my friends said “nice Canadian tuxedo”. I had no clue what that was, but it stuck with me for years. I never mixed denim together, until now. There is nothing wrong with a good “Canadian tuxedo” outfit.
