You probably remember how madly in love we fell with 80%20 when we saw their denim, chambray, and canvas shoes last March. We stopped by their Coterie booth this past weekend and guess what… they’re at it again for spring 2012! Their easy-to-wear color palette and innovative, flattering-on-everyone footwear will find perfect chemistry with any cut and style of denim in your inventory, from flares to cropped, skinny, and boyfriend. We personally own over five pairs of last season’s line, so we can attest. In fact, we wore one pair so much we had to order a back-up pair of the same style. Obsessed? Yes. We snapped a few pics of new styles for you to yearn for—but until they’re available, you can grab a pair from the current collection here.

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!
