What is wrong with denim on denim ?

I have a lovely denim jacket which only seems to go well with denim jeans.
Problem is in my head I can wear both together because of niggling voices in my head saying 'don't wear denim on denim'.
What's wrong with it?

I can't wear it, am too old and not 'cool' enough IMO.
If I was younger and cooler I'd wear clashing denim, as I think the same shade of denim can look a little silly, but again it all comes down to the person wearing it.
<as long as they are not snow washed>
Seriously though, if you're a young hipster go for it, what the hell!
Was great in the day but we all looked like t*ts.
Wear your jacket with colored jeans and look well hip, like.
I also think if it's a pair of skinny denim jeans with a jacket it looks a lot better than normal jeans.
Unless you're Jeremy Clarkson lol
It doesn't matter if the denim matches or is different colours, either way it still looks awful. There is a guy in my work who wears jeans and an almost-same-colour denim shirt every Friday. Everybody thinks he looks ridiculous. He doesn't care, fair enough, good for him (but that doesn't change the fact that he DOES look awful).
The problem, for me anyway, is that if you can't wear a denim jacket with jeans then what do you wear it with? As a result I never wear denim jackets anymore and haven't since it stopped being acceptable to wear double denim.
Chinos? Although they've gone a bit "Essex Chic".
I've never worn "chinos".
Sometimes it doesn't look so bad - it can be quite trendy...

And obviously sometimes it's hideous...

Unless you're Olly Murs it's a no no.
