Naked & Famous‘ Mens Spring/Summer 2012 line is sticking to its roots with authentic, top-quality, raw denim, but while increasing the options you have to get your hands on it. They have taken their skinny, mid-rise, and tapered cuts and released them in new colors such as red and wine, constructions, and surfaces. So now you can really find the pair of jeans that is best and most comfortable for your body, and still know that you’re wearing some of the most rare and unique denim, straight from Japan. What we’re really jealous of are the raspberry scented low-rise jeans—we mean, amazing denim that smells amazing too? Yes please. Besides the colored denim, they also are offering slim-fitted button downs to patch their red denim palette, along with a crisp, dark-wash jean jacket which is a definite must-have if your guy still hasn’t caught on to this classic trend yet.

Jeans are the epitome of model off-duty style, not only for their ease and capability to rough it through casting calls, but also because they are the perfect clean sartorial palette. New Australian magazine Stonefox captures that casual cool with this striking black-and-white editorial. Donning simple tees (or none at all), ripped and ragged cutoffs, denim jumpsuits, jean jackets, and more, Dempsey Stewart looks fresh-faced and subtly sexy–always a winning combination.

Jessica Alba was recently snapped wearing a RESIN Denim Kate Lanphear inspired denim jacket. Kate’s one lady worth styling yourself after, with a resume that includes Vogue Australia, Harper’s Bazaar, and most recently, US Elle. We love the layering Jessica does here with a faux-fur vest in the idea hue of grey to compliment this brilliant blue. The Maxi dress makes the whole look incredibly cozy and chic. The color palette is distinctly fall and with some heavier material, can translate right into winter, too. What do you think? Tweet at us!
This jacket is made by special order through Chantel.Valentene@resindenim.com

This year we witnessed the comeback of the jean jacket, which is awesome because being able to look fashion forward while wearing classic pieces you probably already own is huge a plus. But, what happens when you go fishing your denim duds out from the back of the closet, only to find there was a mouse attack? Or worse, a scissor attack you perpetrated yourself a few years back when super-destroyed denim was the hot new trend? Answer: Bring it to Denim Therapy! Witness this rockin’ repair and become a DT believer.

Some guys might be weary to get in on the colored denim trend, but this fashion blogger from Poland shows all you doubters out there how well it can work! These dark teal jeans from Zara are a great option for a smooth transition away from your beloved blue jeans. The color is dark, warm, and versatile enough to be paired with a casual cotton t-shirt, knit sweater, or a jean jacket–or you can have a really put-together look like this guy does and combine all three! So guys, next time you pass by a pair of colored jeans in the store, don’t keep on walking, pick them up and make your style that much better!

We love this shot of John Legend performing on stage at the End of Polio Campaign Concert in the G-Star Arc Jacket on October 28th. He brought an all-American double denim look to the performance, kept cool by way of his styled stand-up collar as he serenaded the crowd. We really dig the way he kept his look to-the-point with a neutral light-hued knit shirt beneath his denim, and of course, the jacket itself is killer.
Want one? Buy it at G-Star for $210.
Shop G-Star online at their brand new US e-shop, and stay tuned for our spring 2012 showroom preview!
