Canadian tuxedo
All-jean outfit
A Canadian tuxedo is an outfit combining a denim jacket with jeans—double denim from top to bottom.
The term is mildly humorous, treating the all-denim look as if it were formal attire: He showed up to the party in a Canadian tuxedo.
The phrase plays on stereotypes about Canadian fashion and working-class style.
