Gwen Stefani Dares to Bring the Canadian Tuxedo to the Grocery Store in Skate Shoes

Gwen Stefani proved that she can make any activity stylish this week, even grocery shopping.

The No Doubt alumna headed to Bristol Farms in Hollywood, Calif., on Tuesday with her 15-year-old son, Kingston Rossdale. For the casual outing, Stefani herself doubled up on denim in a button-up shirt and patchwork jeans.

The denim-on-denim style is considered a Canadian tuxedo in the fashion realm; the legend of the look originated in the 1950s when American musician Bing Crosby chose an all-jean Levi’s outfit instead of a suit at his hotel in Vancouver. Levi’s then coined the term along with a custom denim tuxedo for Crosby, according to the CR Fashion Book. Fashion fans nowadays have mixed opinions on the styling hack, though, with some supporting the bold streamlined appeal and others questioning its necessity.

To round out her own jean moment, Stefani tapped into her signature edgy style with sneakers from Vans. The recognizable Slip-On silhouette from the skate brand debuted in 1977 and has since become a staple in footwear rotations across the globe. Its low-profile canvas uppers, waffled outsole and checkered print make for a bold addition to any ensemble, retailing for $55 at Vans.com.
