The Fall 2011 Mens Collection from the Italian brand JFour has all the clothes you need for an edgy, but put together look. The denim is not limited to just their jeans, but a rich dark-wash chambray workshirt, and a great denim blazer that can casually dress up any outfit. Their long-sleeve knits portray Native American imagery, which is a definitely change from the usual print interpretation we see of this trend, but the graphics can be a bit loud. The jeans range from light to dark washes, so it is super easy to pair them with one of the work shirts or the blazer and rock the denim on denim look without matching too much. Next time we’re overseas, we know right where we’re headed.

A well-made, up-to-date denim workshirt is going to be the item you can go-to over and over this season when you’re putting together outfits. Whether it’s an ombre-dipped take on a classic, or a pinstripe industrial-inspired piece, you can’t go wrong with this essential. Below are six our recommendations for your closet this September.

American Apparel, despite rumors of a massive downfall and sexual harassment lawsuits up the wazoo, have still maintained a cult following and the undisputed status of “cool kid in school” since they started selling overpriced knit roller shorts to college kids. We’re not gonna lie, we love the basic color options for styling, and while some of their novelty items will split at the seams after one raucous night of partying, it’s fun to browse and fun to wear. We popped by their Soho shop on Broadway recently to snap some photos of their window display. We’re loving the chambray tops and denim duffle bag, preceded by rows of summer nail polish colors. If one thing’s for certain, they know how to set the mood for city kids to shop.

Brainchild of sisters Sienna and Savannah Miller Twenty8Twelve has created quite the buzz over the last few seasons, and for good reason too. It’s just the right look for any girl with who wants that romantic bohemian vibe with a hint of rocker chick appeal. What else could you ask for? This spring the duos’ collection keeps the emphasis on all things vintage inspired reworked into modern and wearable separates. Among the soft pastel hues, feminine floral prints, and flowy chiffons are a slew of denim pieces that we are absolutely loving. From button-front denim dresses, light washed denim jackets, distressed shorts and jeans, shirts, and (our favorite) a chambray knee-length skirt with fringe detail, this collections has something for everyone.
