15+ Stylish Denim Sets That Reimagine the Canadian Tuxedo

Vogue08-05-2025

There's just something about a head-to-toe denim look that feels undeniably cool. From Kendrick Lamar's sharp Canadian tuxedo moment at the Grammys, to the Americana nostalgia of an early aughts Ralph Lauren full denim ensemble, you could say the look is truly timeless.
Vogue's Top Picks for Denim Sets
Runway: Rachel Comey, Kallmeyer, Chanel spring/summer 2025
For spring/summer 2025, a number of designers played around with full jean ensembles. Kallmeyer paired low-slung, straight-leg denim with a slightly cropped and fitted jean jacket (buttoned all the way up), while Rachel Comey toyed with volume, amping up the shoulders and legs for her opening look. Chanel, meanwhile, gave us a more elevated take with embellished jeans paired with a matching denim jacket and the requisite oversized black bow at the collar. (Another Chanel look also featured a printed chiffon cape overlay and feather-adorned, silver chain-link belt.)
Best part? It is also the ultimate one-and-done outfit formula and completely seasonless. It's equal parts unfussy, fresh, and pulled-together. Luckily, a lot of the best denim brands this season felt the same way, so it is easy to rep the look in a multitude of ways.
Ahead, we've curated the best denim sets to shop now. Whether you're dressing them up with heels and jewelry, going trendy with sleek sunnies and belts, or keeping it pared down with sandals or colorful sneakers, these looks are proof that the double denim trend isn't going anywhere.

Funk-rock pioneer Sly Stone dead at 82

AFP Sly Stone, legendary funk pioneer and frontman of Sly and the Family Stone, died at 82 after battling chronic health issues. Known for breaking racial barriers, he created genre-defining hits like 'Everyday People' and energised Woodstock. Despite struggles with addiction, Stone's musical legacy influenced icons like Prince, Miles Davis, and OutKast. Funkmaster and iconic music innovator Sly Stone, whose songs drove a civil rights-inflected soul explosion in the 1960s, sparking influential albums but also a slide into drug addiction, has died, his family said Monday. He was 82. Stone was the multi-instrumentalist frontman for Sly and the Family Stone - rock's first racially integrated, mixed-gender lineup. He 'passed away peacefully, surrounded by his three children, his closest friend and his extended family,' after a prolonged battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other health issues, Stone's family said in a statement. 'While we mourn his absence, we take solace in knowing that his extraordinary musical legacy will continue to resonate and inspire for generations to come,' it added. With his vibrant on-stage energy, killer hooks, and lyrics that often decried prejudice, Stone became a superstar. He released pivotal records that straddled musical genres and performed a memorable set at Woodstock. But he retreated to the shadows in the early 1970s, emerging sporadically for unfulfilling concert tours, erratic TV appearances and a flopped 2006 reunion on the Grammy Awards stage. AFP An effervescent hybrid of psychedelic soul, hippie consciousness, bluesy funk and rock built on Black gospel, Stone's music proved to be a melodic powerhouse that attracted millions during a golden age of exploratory pop - until it fell apart in a spiral of drug use. Over five years, his diverse sound left an indelible impact, from the group's debut 1967 hit Dance to the Music and their first of three number-one songs, Everyday People, a year later, to the 1970s rhythm and blues masterpiece If You Want Me To Stay. For many, Sly was a musical genius creating the sound of the future. It was 'like seeing a Black version of the Beatles,' funk legend George Clinton told CBS News of his longtime friend's stage presence. 'He had the sensibility of the street, the church, and then like the qualities of a Motown,' Clinton added. 'He was all of that in one person.' Huge influence The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inducted the band in 1993, saying: 'Their songs were more than danceable hits - they were a force for positive change.' But Stone struggled to contain the forces and pressures of fame. He slid into addiction, missed concerts, and his musical output, once bankable, became erratic. The music, though, proved extraordinarily influential, laying the groundwork for Prince, Miles Davis, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and OutKast. By 1973, the band imploded. Asked why by talk show host David Letterman a decade later, the elusive star was cryptic: 'I couldn't make all the gigs, is what happened.' Multiple drug-related arrests followed. By 2011, he was homeless and living in a van. In his 2023 memoir, Stone acknowledged he was lost in a deluge of cocaine and PCP but that he finally went clean in 2019. Drugs gave him 'confidence' and energy, he wrote. But he regretted 'the way I let drugs run my life,' he added. 'I thought I could control them, but then, at some point, they were controlling me.' Family affair Sly Stone was born Sylvester Stewart on 15 March 1943 in Denton, Texas. His parents moved the family to San Francisco's suburbs and built ties with the Church of God in Christ. He was a musical prodigy; by age seven, Stone was proficient at keyboards, and by 11, he played guitar, bass and drums. He sang gospel in church with his sisters and joined high school bands. Stone studied music at California's Solano Community College, worked as a disc jockey and became a songwriter and record producer. He played keyboards for Marvin Gaye. By 1966, Sly and the Family Stone had emerged, with brother Freddie on guitar and vocals, sister Rose on keyboards, and Vaetta on background vocals. White musicians Greg Errico on drums and saxophonist Jerry Martini joined them at a time when such integration was rare. Their first album fell flat. But when influential music executive Clive Davis urged Stone to make a more commercial record, the band stormed up the charts in 1968, with Everyday People reaching number one. 'We got to live together,' Stone belted out. It was a period of tumult in America, with civil rights showdowns, Martin Luther King Jr's assassination and anti-war riots. 'I was scared. At the time, it was almost too much all at once,' Stone, who was survived by a son and two daughters, once told an interviewer. In 1969, Stone and his band released the album 'Stand!' It was a commercial triumph, including the summer smash of the same name, which became a touchstone for Black empowerment. That year, they played a frenetic post-midnight set before half a million people at Woodstock. More than a generation later, the 2025 documentary SLY LIVES: AKA, the Burden of Black Genius shed light on one of soul music's groundbreaking figures. 'Sly opened the floodgates for all musicians of colour,' music producer Terry Lewis said in the film, 'to just do whatever they felt like.'

schmuck. — Bar Review

First impression? The fancy cocktail bar format can quickly feel repetitive, but East Village's schmuck. presents something a bit different. Rather than two tops galore and moody lighting, the space functions as a sort of cocktail house party—separated into two rooms referred to as The Living Room and The Kitchen Table. The design here feels eclectic and playful, like your coolest friend who lives in Williamsburg (even though Williamsburg isn't cool anymore). How's the crowd? Eclectic groups of well-heeled locals and the cocktail-curious are sat together, or stand in mingle-friendly areas while sipping libations and listening to the upbeat house music that blares from the speakers overhead. Expect house party levels of noise at all times. How are the drinks? Their cocktail elements are eyebrow-raising as well, with elements such as parmesan cheese in the clarified Strawberry & Cheese, and toasted oats that lend themself to a Muesli cocktail alongside bourbon, honey, and raspberry. Don't be intimated, though, as the finished products are surprisingly approachable. If there's food, is it worth ordering something to eat? Shcmuck's curated menu of 'Lobb Food,' is worth diving into, from a satisfyingly cheesy white bean cacio e pepe to a puff pastry pizza. Did the staff do you right? Despite the level of noise and the crowded energy of the bar, servers were surprisingly attentive, though that may not always be the case. Wrap it up: what are we coming here for? The European bar experience. Things are hectic here in the kind of way you want to be a part of, with cocktails that are dangerously easy to finish.
