Fall brings new denim trends—dressed up in various washes, cuts, shapes, colors and prints. There’s a ‘jean-ious’ trend waiting for you…

COOL COATED/WAXED (ABOVE LEFT)

Coated denim comes in a new shade this season. This fall is emerald, mustard, chocolate, oxblood or cobalt. Luxurious finishes, like leather look glamorous and edgy at the same time. (Hint: Nervous about the fit and fabric? Look for a high lycra or spandex content, which are extremely figure-flattering.)

FRESH FALL FLORALS (ABOVE CENTER)

Now that spring and summer are over, look for printed florals in warmer hues (no more pastels or jelly-bean brights.) Think merlot, dusty-rose or navy. These shades always look richer and more sophisticated. Pair with fall essentials—like dark chocolate leather riding boots and a nubby boyfriend sweater.

MUST-HAVE METALLICS (ABOVE RIGHT)

Instantly jazz up any outfit with metallic denim. (Insider tip: metallics aren’t just for evening.) Keep the rest of your look simple by pairing with a neutral blouse. For accessories, finish off with more-metallics—like gold studs for the office or a bold sparkling cocktail ring for date night.

SUPERMODEL SIDE PANEL/TUXEDO STRIPES (ABOVE RIGHT)

Want supermodel-like long legs in an instant? Dress up your typical denim and go tuxedo-striped jeans. The slim line along the side helps to visually create a longer, leaner effect.

The boyfriend jean gets skinnier this season—think contemporary, cropped and comfy. Universally figure flattering, this style compliments any body shape and work with just about everything—from stylish sneakers to feminine flats.

PRETTY, POLISHED POLKA DOTS (ABOVE CENTER)

2012’s most popular print now comes in a variety of sizes, shades and patterns. Whichever you choose, printed denim is always on trend. (Insider tip: If you want to tone down polka-dot’s ultra ‘girly-girl’ vibe, look for a pair in a darker hue, and pair with colored pumps or chunky accessories.)
