1. Trey Songz rocks colored denim and an array of dapper outfits in a recent GQ.
2. Speaking of dapper, we’re kind of obsessed with GRANT Rugger’s FW12 presentation dinner, and the slick tailored menswear ensembles that were presented there.
3. The Denim Guy is super excited about cropped jeans for men on the horizon in fall’12. What do you think?
4. Want free jeans? Get details on a $500 MET giveaway at Denimology! And don’t forget, we’re announcing the winners to our Meltin’ Pot giveaway today on DT.
5. Victoria’s Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio was photographed looking super cute in Mother Denim jeans and a tie-dye shirt. We think this is a pretty no-fail casual summer outfit, especially if you’ve got a baby on the way!

A model, an actress, and a singer walk into a bar… Just kidding!
Everyone needs a basic pair of black jeans with limitless styling potential for as a go-to option that won’t let you down. These three stunning celebs agree, and were spotted wearing Joe’s Skinny in Jet Black—a pair from the brand’s Fifty Five Colors campaign. Twilight star Ashley Greene and Victoria Secret Angel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley were seen traveling (separately) in the pair, while mama-to-be Beyonce was sporting the same pair when she was snapped by paparazzi recently. If these busy ladies choose to travel and work in this brand (from airport hopping to baby-bump dressing), you can bet it’s a comfortable and functional option you’d be wise to think about investing in too!

January Jones steps out in the Paige Premium Denim Jimmy Jimmy Westbourne yet again! We love seeing her pregnant and keeping it stylish. Her outfit here reminds us of Natalie Portman’s maternity look back in April, with a loose boyfriend-cut jean and knit navy blue top. January opted to roll her jeans and expose adorable embellished sandals (a feminine touch required to keep it cute when you’re wearing casual clothing like this). She also accessorized her maternity denim with a pair of luxe Versace 4213 sunglasses. Wonder who she’s texting!

If we didn’t know that Jessica Alba was expecting, we would never be able to guess as she is! She was seen looking inconspicuously prego in Mama J by J Brand Love Story Maternity Bell Bottom Jeans. She paired the denim with a Karen Zambos angled tank, and Yves Saint Laurent “Muse Two” oversized leather tote. Pairing wide leg jeans with a set of wedges gives the look uber flare. We like how she contrasted the the constructed blazer with her bell bottoms (slimming effect, voila!). Basically, carrying a bun in the oven doesn’t mean you put an end to being super-stylish. Jessica is walking, talking proof.
Looking for maternity denim but can’t seem to give up on your old jeans, Denim Therapy offers services to expand your waistline to your growing belly’s needs.

Mad Men actress January Jones, covered her baby bump (baby-daddy identity is yet to be announced) with a flowy button down white top. January finished her look with rolled up “Jimmy Jimmy Westbourne” jeans by Paige Denim Maternity and her hobo bag and Lanvin ballet flats added a luxe touch while she walked around the Century City Mall in Los Angeles. The distressed boyfriends are the perfect style for casual and comfortable style.

It happens to the best of us. We trip, we fall, we have kids, we gain and lose weight, we don’t always shop for the best-fitting jeans because we’re blinded by a brand on sale, etc… shopping for denim and building a relationship with your favorite pair of jeans is no low-maintenance task. There are a myriad of things that can go wrong along the way, but rather than giving up on them, why not let us bring them back to life?
It requires lots of love (and sometimes therapy) to keep your favorite jeans in good shape, but if you commit, they’ll be with you through the years. Scroll down our top 5 list of reasons you might need a little Denim Therapy of your own.
It’s true. You’re too hot to handle! If your jeans are ripped and torn in the crotch, knees, or anywhere else you might experience an intense amount of friction throughout the day, you can trust us to restore them as closely as possible to their former glory.
Denim Therapy uses the MatchPerfect™ cotton thread selection process to create the best looking repair possible. The goal of every repair is excellence in appearance and function. Selection of the finest materials makes it possible. Learn More About MatchPerfect™.

Natalie Portman is super-preggo right now, and we think she looks amazing! She stepped out shielding her face the other day in Paige Denim Layne Cargos , pairing her bottoms with a striped pocket tee and sneakers. Ready to pop certainly doesn’t mean ready to give up on your wardrobe, and maternity clothes have certainly come a long way. We’re very happy to see that Natalie is still roaming the streets on her errands looking fab with cute hair-dos and great outfits, inspiring moms-to-be the world over.

Pregnant super-star actress Natalie Portman has been out and about recently sporting maternity denim (an alteration service we offer, in case you’ve got a baby bump of your own) and naturally cameras flashes have been illuminating her every step. The paparazzi might be after her because she’s Natalie, but we’re in love with her minimalist approach to cute maternity-wear. We break down two of her recent looks below.
1. mama·licious Tex Denim Tunic Top ($62) – buy it at Asos.
2. Anthropologie Confetti Strand Wooden Beaded Necklace ($39) – buy it at Anthropologie.
3. The Limited Skinny Cargo Pant (on sale $19.99, was $69.90!) – buy it at The Limited.
4. Lucky Brand “Marlee” Rain Boots ($74.25) – buyt it at Dillard’s.
5. Banana Republic “Deborah” Sunglasses ($98) – buy it at Banana Republic.
Here’s the look in action—Natalie looks stellar with loose hair, sunglasses, a bohemian beaded necklace and this super-comfortable denim maternity shirt, cuffed at the sleeve. We switched out the boots for something a little more fashion forward, but even her’s are pretty chic.
In the next outfit, a super-minimal look becomes super-adorable via less-is-more theory. Check out how you can adopt this comfy ensemble.
1. Motherhood Long Sleeve Crew Neck Maternity T Shirt (on sale $10) – buy it at Motherhood.
2. Paige Denim Jimmy Jimmy Maternity Boyfriend Jeans ($195) – buy it at Shopbop.
3. Dooney & Bourke Handbag, Quilted Spicy Shopper ($198) – buy it at Macy’s.
4. Bernardo Tie multi-strap leather sandals ($195) – buy it at Net-A-Porter.
5. Tom Ford Eyewear Callae Sunglasses ($360) – buy it at Saks Fifth Avenue
And here’s the second look in action! Natalie’s top has a cute button-neckline detail and single pocket, which adds interest (but isn’t necessary to achieve the look). During this stroll, Natalie was holding up her purse to defend her baby-to-be from too much camera action. If you plan to do the same (assuming paparazzi follow you!), you’d better make that purse a big one!
Don’t forget to check out our maternity denim alteration service, where we open up the side seam and place an elastic triangular insert into your jeans so you can keep wearing them during your pregnancy. Once your term is over, you can send them back to have them turned back to normal!
