We’ve seen flowers, we’ve seen paisley…heck, we’ve even seen skeletons prancing on printed jeans! So it’s super refreshing when a brand comes out with a unique take on a done-to-death trend (not that we’re tired of it). Big Star USA released a pair of very charming jeans for spring that feature a smattering of colorful birds on white denim. Understated in a cartoon-y way, they’d be a flawless match for a white silk button-down top or a tailored navy blazer.
This style will hit stores in May, so stay tuned.

Two of the biggest, boldest looks in denim this season are bright colors and jeans that are distressed and destroyed. We’ve seen everything from causal knee holes to seriously torn legs. But how do you decide where the line is — the line between fashionable frays and ferocious tears is a fine one, and Denim Therapy is here for you when you decide the holes are too holy or they just aren’t cool anymore. We can fix the smallest rips to providing complete rebuilding of your jeans, plus so much more. Take a look!

R29 served up some denim do’s and do-not’s for spring via their global editor Connie Wang, whose daily outfits are definite “do’s”. She impresses upon denim-heads everywhere that coated, printed, and an old beat up pair of jeans are essentials for the coming season (as well as color, obv). On the get-rid-of-this list? Cargo jeans and anything boot-cut. Click through the slideshow for more!

Studs, fringe, ombre, stars & stripes… list these elements in a row and you might imagine the ultimate overkill, but Kill City Jeans has mastered the art of quintessential rock’n'roll. Their denim, 80% of which is manufactured domestically, is shredded, studded, dyed, and treated to appeal to your inner badass. Both sexes are treated to plenty of color and texture (with the colors desaturated and the texture well-played), and more basic washes for days where you don’t feel like dressing for a music video.
The men’s line comes in three basic fits and features wax coats, reverse mineral wash, and distressed yarn-dyed styles. The women’s line is a bit more playful, including (our favorite) purple ombre cut-off shorts, ready to be DIY’d (they even come with a bag of studs). Best sellers like the navajo print and stars & stripes jeans continue to lead the collection, but this is a good place to start if you’re looking to expand way beyond the generic blue jean for spring this year.

We’re finally accepting fall and winter into our wardrobes now, in mid-October, but that doesn’t mean we won’t jump at the chance to talk about next spring, and all of the warm weather trends we’re looking forward to! One such trend is a reappearance of floral printed denim, and Citizens of Humanity showed us a few gorgeous options for cut-off shorts that are of particular intrigue. The dark wash is a great transitional winter-to-spring pick, while the light wash is summer denim at its finest. You can wear both with dark tights and your snow-crunching boots, and then carry them right into the warmest months with filmy tank tops and breezy blouses!
What trends are you looking forward to for spring? Let us know at our facebook page!

Kim Kardashian and Heidi Klum (reality star and supermodel face off ) show off their wild side in the new Snow Leopard by J Brand Jeans. We love how KK paired her jeans with a basic black leather jacket and aviator glasses for a look that’s pure rock’n'roll while mother of four Heidi opted for an ikat caftan top with accompanying scarf for a look that’s boho-chic. We love when celebs love the same jeans, but have completely different approaches to wearing them!
