We popped by DL1961‘s booth at Coterie and saw that they’ve cooked up a wide range of colored jeans for next season. They covered pastel jewel tones and neons (two best-selling palettes), and some waxed denim in fall colors (like a bold fire engine red that we wanted to take home). Shorts were a similar range of exciting hues. DL1961′s denim is for the gal that loves a snug fit. Their signature four-way stretch means these are borderline jeggings, and will all look amazing with an oversized off-shoulder top. Browse some of their other offerings below!

Have you tried on a pair of coated jeans yet? Let’s just say, not all coated denim are made equal. Recently, Denim Therapy had the chance to review a pair of DL1961 Emma jeans in Wick. These are black coated denim leggings made with X-Fit 4-way stretch jeans, so you don’t have to suffer to look great. I am wearing the Emma in a size 26 with a 32″ inseam. Although I’m not very tall, these jeans fit me perfectly from hip to ankle. Even as these are low-rise jeans (about 8 1/2″ rise), I was impressed with its contoured waistband, which prevented puckering at the back. Equally impressive was how the waistband was cut near the front: slightly higher on the sides so there was no pinching at the hip bones. One thing to note: the non-rubbery coating is only on the outside, so the interior is soft.

DL1961 has debuted their first men’s premium denim collection, just in time for Resort 2011. Like the women’s collection, the men’s jeans are made with X-FIT LYCRA®‘s patented cross-weave technology fabric, which “provides four-way stretch and 360 degrees of movement resulting in unparalleled fabric stability, shape retention and product recovery, eliminating all worry about your jeans sagging or bagging.”

Four new styles were created in the men’s collection, to suit various types of active lifestyles:
Vince-a universal slim straight zip fly for any body type;
Russell-a fashion-forward skinny button fly;
Chris-a loose relaxed fit; and
Logan-a modern bootcut.
Each cut is available in two to five washes that vary from light, to classic blue, to dark and compliment looks from casual to formal. The DL1961 Premium Denim men’s collection retails for $168-$178 at high-end denim retailers nationwide including National Jean Company and Post Blue Jeans.

Well looky here! Two celebs were spotted rocking DL1961 Premium Denim recently in Los Angeles. On January 30, 2011, Amber Lancaster of MTV’s “The Hard Times of RJ Berger” braved the rain in her DL1961 Jessica in Twilight wash. Her jeans are a low rise skinny with a zipper detail over the right back pocket. The Jessica in Twilight ($168) is available at DL1961 online. Just last weekend, “The Sopranos” alum Jamie-Lynn Sigler, was spotted out and about in her DL1961 Nicole in Onyx wash. These jeans are a full-length ultra skinny jean. Both ladies seem to be running errands (note the comfy gray sweaters on both!) on chilly, wet days, likely wearing jeans that will make them feel comfortable as well. DL1961′s 360-degree stretch X-Fit Lycra denim is a great choice for doing chores — the fabric stretches and moves with you, while offering excellent stretch recovery. Jamie-Lynn’s Nicole in Onyx jeans ($178) are available at Chantal.
