The sunglasses I wore all winter* have taken a break. Literally, they broke in my pocket. Sad, and a reminder to always use a case. With a heavy heart and eyes on the horizon, I spent the day compiling the 20 shadiest shades of the season for me, and for you.

If you’re an American (or Canadian, Mexican, European, Asian…), you’re probably a fan of jeans. Whether you favor simple, utilitarian cuts and washes from the Gap or splurge on embellished Rock & Republics, it’s almost certain that your drawers are overflowing with denim of all varieties. Cheap Monday is a denim brand that combines high-end details with affordable price tags, and their Fall ’10 line contains pieces to look forward to.

Guess everyone is currently obsessed with gray hair…from Kate Moss to the above pics of Cheap Monday’s Fall 2010 show. Loving the white face makeup.

As I sit here and type this article in my own pair of Cheap Monday jeans, I can’t help but love this video. I think as a brand Cheap Monday is absolutely brilliant in all aspects of the word. Cheap Monday’s main man Orjan Andersson himself is draped in his designs, and that destroyed denim shirt he is wearing throughout the video has stirred up more envy than you could imagine within me.

Here’s our running list of denim brands that we love, based on quality, fit, wash variety, and overall fashion-ness:
1. Naked and Famous- Rare and unique fabrics from Japan, high quality and satire play on our celebrity obsessed culture. Win.
2. April 77- Known for their attitude and underground influence, not wallet-breaking price. Made in France.
3. Cheap Monday- Tons of crazy prints and colored washes. Made in Sweden.
4. Replay-Great skinny and ‘boyfriend’ style, in a bunch of interesting washes. Made in Italy.
5. Acne- A ton of variety in mens’ fits, and repeat winner of ‘Designer of the Year’ by Swedish Elle. Made in Sweden.
6. K(T)subi- Formerly Tsubi, currently Ksubi, this brand invented themselves based on fit, and has continued to outfit surfers in super, super jeans ever since. Made in Australia.
7. Nudie- Made from the best Italian, Turkish, American, and Japanese qualities using the best techniques. Made in Italy, with the only con being they don’t have a women’s line (yet?).
8. Diesel- I know people that swear by Diesel, mostly skinny guys who can never find sizes small enough for their 26 inch waists and still long enough for their 6’0 tall frames. Diesel has always been known for their high-quality and long lasting denim. I may be impartial because I love everything Diesel makes, not just their jeans. Made in Italy.
9. Levis- After coming out with the 510 and 511, Levis seemed to have redeemed themselves as every hipster and musician’s best friend. Made in the US!
10. G Star- ‘Raw’ denim. Prides themselves in being about nothing more than the product itself, keeping it fashionable and well-fit. Made in the Netherlands.
