Spring is coming, but the work of a raw denim lover isn’t over when the sun comes out at the end of winter. We’re just as serious about wearing our raw jeans throughout summer’s warm months as we are taking refuge in them the other half of the year! Spring comes with plenty of opportunities to dress up your jeans.
The key is pairing your denim with items that are fresh, stylish, and high quality—while still compatible with our daily routines. In this case, to compliment Rogue Territory Stanton 12.5 Oz tinted weft raw denim jeans. We hand-picked 4 of our favorite menswear items on the market right now that will age with as much grace and personality as your denim to produce an ideal spring look.
1. Durty Laundry Clothing Dia de los Sucios Tee 2. Rogue Territory Stanton 12.5 Oz tinted weft raw denim jeans 3. Oaxacan Dome Backpack by WILL 4. N.D.C. The Maxim Espadrilles 5. Barrett Alley Magic Braid Belt

Nothing gives us and instant fashion fix more than an eclectic mix of denim, bold prints (think snake, leopard, and Navajo), flirty sequins, and bad ass leather and studs! Sound amazing? We knew you’d dig it! LF‘s latest fall lookbook has got all of the above and more! We love the overall western meets bohemian grunge feel of it all styled with the perfect touches of on-trend sequins and fur for an added touch of luxe. Snake print denim, leopard shoes, and Navajo-inspired accessories finish off the look seamlessly. It’s safe to say that this fall season more is definitely more!

Ethnic and tribal-inspired prints are at the forefront of what’s in right now. From Mayan and Incan to Aztec and Navajo (sometimes even a cool hybrid of all of them) there’s totally something for everyone. We know things can get a bit tricky when it comes to prints, so we’ve put together a couple of looks to give you some outfit direction. The key is to take one bold statement piece and style it with simple and updated basics like cropped tees and a good dose of denim for a bit of cool edge. Keep things fully on-trend by throwing in some western bits into the mix like a cool modern boot and accessories with an earthy bohemian flare.

One pair of jeans, two ways to style them! And who better to show off the look twice in the same weekend than Gwen Stefani (one of our personal style icons since she debuted in all of her California punk rock glam). Gwen switches out of her incognito semi- navajo rock to a school girl red sweater with her locks blowing away in the wind but stays with her Paige Denim Verdugo Ultra Skinnies. Which way do you think she looks best? …Or do you have your own styling tips?

Topman channels the retro vibe of the 50s for their fall 2011 campaign clad in smart silhouettes and classic light wash denim. Newness is added to nerdy tweed blazers and cool varsity jackets with on-trend knits in bold patterns from fairisle and Aztect to Navajo (and lets not forget a killer leopard tie) thrown into the mix. A cool denim vest and denim jacket give the otherwise dapper look a definite streetwear appeal. Guys, take a hint! Check out the full campaign bellow.

Ethnic prints are all the rage, and blogger-darling Le Blog De Betty is more than happy to jump on the bandwagon with a recent street style snap. Vivid and loud, yet muted in color, the outfit includes a Navajo-patterned t-shirt from WkShp Clothing, bronze coated skinny jeans from Lee Anglomania, and the very-cool black & white contrast sandals from the H&M Against Aids collection. This is something we might wear towards the end of the summer (right now it’s over-90 in NYC, most of us cannot even imagine wearing jeans… poor Renee & Gordon!). None the less, this styling is red-hot.
