Ahhh, summer. The sand, the surf, the skimpiest jean shorts you can squeeze into. What’s not to love about the sultriest time of the year? Summer’s also the time when everyone loosens up and casual dressing is de rigueur—meaning denim can work almost anywhere. But just slipping into the first jeans-and-a-tee combo you find is a bit boring, so we asked the James Jeans design team how they’re planning to get creative with their denim styling this summer.
Here are their top 5 tips:
1. ) The ’80s are back in full force, so try pairing your high waisted jeans with crop tops. Our High Class style is ideal for this.
2.) Cuff your skinny and straight leg jeans, making them into crops.
3.) We all have that pair of jeans we know we’re never gonna wear again. This summer, convert them into distressed, rolled shorts.
4.) We’re all about the DIY. Ombre your cut-off shorts (tutorial courtesy of Could I Have That?) or add studs to selected areas.
5.) Send last summer’s white jeans to Denim Therapy and get them tie dyed a la Isabel Marant’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection.

Minimal, refined and clean, white jeans serve as the perfect blank slate for your summer styling sessions. From day to evening, you can wear white denim. Just pair your crisp jeans with bright, bold colors for day (neon, too), or metallic and dark hues for evening. The trick is to mirror what you see in nature for the perfect summer street style. We’ve rounded up a half-dozen pairs of cool white jeans, whether cropped, flared or skinny, to suit your summer plans. Which pairs would you choose?

Queen of comedy Tina Fey spoke about her favorite denim brand and her daily attire on People Style Watch recently:
“It’s weird,” she tells PEOPLE, “I almost don’t have time during the year to wear clothes. I sort of roll out of bed into some pair of jeans and the top of my pajamas, come [to work] and then put on clothes. Then at the end of the day I put the pajama top back on and go home.”
Citing James Jeans and Citizens of Humanity as her favorite brands — “What I wear on the show is what I then steal and wear at home for a long time,” she jokes — the actress says she grew up wearing Wranglers. Her 6-year-old daughter Alice, however, is a bit more fashion forward.

Nicky Hilton was recently spotted in an outfit we love: she paired her James Jeans Twiggy Slate grey skinnies ($141) with a cozy Madewell neon yellow sweater. Her metallic-accented black ankle boots made the whole thing sort of rocker-chic, and let’s face it: neon is a bold choice for this pseudo-socialite! We dig it. Grab yourself a neon yellow sweater here.

2. Art Basel saw the release of Johan Lindeberg‘s new BLK DNM fragrance, Perfume 11. It’s a unisex scent with hints of “black amber, birch tar, and soft musks (base notes) blend with incense, fir balsam (mid notes) and finally cardamom (top notes) to create a peppery blend.” Get one at BLK DNM.
3. We’re digging some of the new indigo washes at Marc Allison Jeans.
4. James Jeans has a new coutoure denim line out, that promises to flatten your stomach, trim your thighs, slim your butt, and scult your hips. As Lisette of Denimology exclaimed, these sound “better than Spanx!”

James Jeans takes the less-is-more route when styling their lookbooks, and they did no different with their women’s spring 2012 line. But simple doesn’t equal boring. The array of styles, ranging from faded 70s flares and crisp capris to dip-dyed denim and coral-colored skinnies, is enough to keep anyone captivated. The only things you might get bummed about? Being without your own sunny, gorgeous beach backdrop. And trying to pick out your favorite denim looks. Choices are a girl’s best friend…and her (wallet’s) worst nightmare.

With a dapper-to-the-core, suave fifties vibe, James Jeans men’s spring 2012 lookbook shows off chill and wearable denim that you could easily imagine James Dean rocking in the 21st century. The “Clay” and “Machine Selvage” styles look great with plain white T-shirts (for when you’re fixing up your Harley, obviously), while perfectly tailored midnight black jeans, like the aptly-named “Black Night,” look polished with slim ties and crisp collared shirts. And for the more adventurous, their collection even offers black-coated denim, so you can look like a badass in multiple styles and washes, even if you don’t own a motorcycle.
