So adorable. Definitely the dress to wear for these disgustingly hot NYC summer days we’ve been having.

THE TEN: Best Denim Brands

Hillary Frazier — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 21:18:13 +0000

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.

Think we missed any? Do you have one ‘go-to’ brand for jeans?

SHOP Free People | Billie Distressed Cuff Short by Genetic, $

I’m really over skimpy shorts, and these aren’t so baggy that they make you look bigger. So cute.

SHOP DollHouse | Super-Skinny Stretch Jean, $

Schulyr Morgan, Shop Editor — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 15:33:34 +0000

I love the color of these jeans. I’m a huge fan of colored denim, and pastels (check out UNIQLO’s summer line) are super in, and understated enough to wear any day. Another bonus, these are super skinny, which you know I love.

SHOP Rich And Skinny | Women’s Boyfriend 5 Pocket Jeans (Moonlight Vintage), $

Schulyr Morgan, Shop Editor — Tue, 26 May 2009 20:37:46 +0000

I’m really excited to get a pair of boyfriend jeans for the summer and take a break from super skinnies. These relaxed-fit jeans would look great with vintage tees or tank tops, and are all over stores for summer and fall.

SHOP Diesel | Women’s Zinny Jacket (Denim), $$

Schulyr Morgan, Shop Editor — Tue, 26 May 2009 18:36:13 +0000

Leather gets a little hot in the summer, take it back to denim (although, this is a lot cooler than your mom’s denim jacket).
