Gender Bender: The Easiest Way To Double Your Wardrobe

Refinery29

We've never been ones to limit our options to the women's department, but lately, the whole idea of menswear and womenswear is seeming really tired. Last week, Hannah Hart, hilarious host of My Drunk Kitchen on YouTube, and Deryck Todd, the nightlife icon behind BowieBall, tested out some gender-bending party looks. This week, we're going back to basics in the best way possible: denim. Above, Hannah and Deryck show us how to style denim on denim two ways, both of which work as well for guys as they do for girls. Learn how to amp up your jean look from two of our favorite pros. By the time you're done, you'll want to borrow clothes from everyone. We have a feeling your wardrobe is about to get much bigger.

00:05Well, Hannah, the last time I saw you, you were in a rockin' silver jacket. We had such a blast

00:10that night. Oh, it was crazy, you know? And you were wearing that amazing caftan, and I have to

00:16say, I don't think you've ever looked better, except for maybe today. You're just rockin' that

00:20denim. I'm going for a little bit more of a classic look today. A denim jacket never goes

00:23out of style. But you're doing it in an interesting way. Like, I usually love a boyfriend jean,

00:27but today I'm wearing a very skinny jean because, you know, why not mix it up?

00:30What I like about your outfit is that you're mixing two different kinds of denim. You're

00:34having a distressed jacket, but then you're having a clean, dark denim on the bottom, and

00:38you can never go wrong with something like that. And what we learned last time is that

00:41you have a very eccentric, clamboyant, urban glam style, and I kind of tend to be a little

00:45more conservative, a little more monochromatic. So I'm interested to see what your classic denim

00:51look looks like and what mine does. I feel like denim's an everyday look, like

00:56something that you can wear from head to toe. Even Daisy Dukes, you're lucky that I decided

00:59not to wear mine today. I don't think I'm lucky about that at all. You know, and I think

01:03of denim, I always think of like hard work and grit, but you know, at the same time, there's

01:07even denims that can be so soft and light. I actually think I found what I need here.

01:11What about you? I think I found it too. Oh, what is this? Wow, wow. Winning. Let's get it. I

01:20think this proves that denim is just fabric, and fabric is genderless. Like, look, you're wearing a nice

01:24strawberry top, as am I. We're both wearing white denim pants, and we both look great.

01:28I agree. I like the way that you've accessorized your outfit with a tie, and I decided to go for

01:33a necklace instead. This proves that you can raid anybody's closet.

01:36But, there's something missing. Oh, I love it. I made this just for you. You made this? I did. Wow.

01:43Now let's go frolic.

01:45Bye.

01:46Bye.

01:47Bye.

01:48Bye.

01:49Bye.
