When you think hot fall accessory, you probably don’t immediately think “gotta get one of those fresh paper bags and put it on my head!” But that’s the concept Ziggy Denim had for their fall 2012 lookbook… and we’re very amused. Other “accessories” included body paint, firefighter hats, and blow-up guitars. Ziggy Denim takes pride in creating the comfiest jeans around, from cords to chinos, and they sell their styles for under $100.

As most of you know, People Style Watch had an epic round of Denim Awards to delve out recently, bestowing honors like Best for Work, Most Eco-Friendly, and Best Butt Boost (see a list of awards and winners below). Honorary titles like these label each winner an “It-Jean” in its category, and makes finding problem-targeting denim easier for consumers to find. We had a chance to ask Senior Market Editor Marissa Rubin a few of our own questions about the awards. Here’s what she had to say.
Denim Therapy: Which brand(s) are you surprised didn’t make the list?
Marissa Rubin: This question for me is really more about the fact that I was surprised a certain jean didn’t win a specific category—or it didn’t even place. Yet then we’d consider it for another category and it’d win. It was unbelievable how everything ultimately came together.
DT: Which brand is your personal favorite in terms of fit?
MR: I am a big fan of DL1961. Their jeans are made with revolutionary four-way stretch denim called XFIT, which NEVER loses its shape. It’s unreal! They honestly suck me in and never sag, bag, or stretch out—regardless of how many wears! I own them in flares, skinnies, high rises, etc. and I always feel my thinnest in them. Plus they have great back pocket placement, so my butt looks lifted and my hips appear narrower—which as a curvy girl my backside is always my biggest gripe.
DT: Which new denim brand are you looking forward to trying out?
MR: In addition to its affordable price point and great fit, it goes beyond basics with its spot-on trend driven jeans. I am truly loving this new line!
DT: Which of your favorite fashion labels should be creating a denim line?
MR: Rebecca Taylor. Her brand already resonates with celebs and fashionistas everywhere, so denim seems like a great addition. From her signature florals, to her chic animal prints, I’d love to see this New Zealander’s girlie feminine take on jeans.

Do you adore denim you can wear around the house, even take a nap in? Then these are just what the cotton twill doctor ordered. They maintain the visual integrity of a stylish pair of jeans (unlike more literal sweatpants-imitating competitors) while being far more cozy. They achieve this with a unique fabric technology that’ll afford you a full degrees of comfort and movement while keeping a sleek shape.
As Joe’s Jeans explains, “The fabric has the advanced versatility of indigo yarns allowing for complete customization of fabric finishes.

They come in three chic cuts (The Skinny, The High Water and The Skinny Flare), and they retail at $158.
