Denim is the rare theme that loves harsh light — noon sun rakes across the weave and turns texture into the subject. Double denim works when the washes differ by two shades; add a white ribbed tank and a western belt and the look is complete before accessories.
Shoot against warm walls, old trucks, or plain seamless in a saturated color. The cowboy hat pushes it western, the bandana pushes it retro; without either it stays clean Americana. Distressing photographs better than it looks in person — don't fear the frayed hem.
