It's in the Jeans

Denim has held a permanent place in the wardrobe as the reliable staple, the loyal go-to. This won't be changing anytime in the near future, but recent seasons have debuted a collection of denim innovators who seek to introduce a new identity to the plate.

Jeans have acquired a second role in the evolving modern closet: that of the standout.

This fall, I'm looking at statement denim. Prints in a myriad of hues will be a refreshing change from busy summer tanks and dresses. To coat the legs in fantastical images printed onto America's favorite fabric provides a surprise to jaded eyes that were previously satiated on the intrigue of the garments draping the torso.

The change of season always calls for a surprise. The new intrigue of denim adds a multidimensional pop to the neutral knits and outerwear that will soon become mainstays in our wardrobes.

In the meantime, these pairs are perfect for the last weeks of summer with lightweight cotton tees.
