Jessica Alba is one of our favorite celeb denim style icons when it comes to casual, every-day outfits that are chic, comfortable, and versatile. Her latest ensemble has us really psyched: a Genetic Denim vest over a long floral maxi dress.The traditional denim-over-dress equation is hard to go wrong with, but a few pointers on making it work.
Styling tips:
1. Respect outfit proportion! If the dress is long, opt for a cropped vest or jacket. A mini-dress merits a longer jacket/vest (or even oversize).
2. Light wash denim looks amazing in the spring over florals. Dark wash lends itself to late summer and early fall, matching a darker hued printed dress.
3. If the denim vest’s cut and wash make the outfit extra masculine, balance the look with jewelry and a scarf.
Get the look below!
1. Madewell Longroad Denim Vest
2. Pencey Standard Jessica Hart for Pencey Standard Long Dress
3. DAY BIRGER ET MIKKELSEN Ferdousi tasseled cotton-gauze scarf
4. ASOS Classic Retro Aviator Glasses

DT’s founder Francine called out her top ten favorite denim brands for beso.com‘s readers recently, listing Nudie Jeans, Genetic Denim, Doctrine Jeans, and Siwy Denim as some of her first choices (just to name a few).
“Know what’s a real bummer? When you wear a hole right into your favorite pair of jeans, rendering them unwearable. Enter FRANCINE RABINOVICH, whose brilliant company, Denim Therapy, can restitch any hole with matching thread (about $7 per inch). They also undertake all sorts of other useful enterprises, like inserting maternity bands, monogramming waistbands, and replacing zippers. Not only has Rabinovich encountered every conceivable type of jean brand out there, but she also has unfailingly great taste. (Check out her denim-centric blog, here.) To that end, we tapped her for her 10 favorites brands (and her preferred fits).”

A new year and a new denim closet revamp is in order, no? Vogue just released their first denim must-haves list of the year, featuring a shortlist of head-to-toe denim gets for under $500. From denim shoes by Michael Kors, Alexandre Birman and SEE by Chloe, to a refreshing take on the jeans skirt by Scully Denim, we’re certain you’ll find some inspiration here. We think 2012 is the year that denim detractors may just be swayed to slip on a pair of jeans. Because, after all, Vogue certainly thinks jeans are lust-worthy.

Genetic Denim is pulling the comfort card with its new spring 2012 offerings: silken jeans.
