Well, what do we have here? Gerard Butler was seen cycling around Mexico City this week, looking muy guapo, in his Citizens of Humanity Sid straight leg jeans in Rainforest wash. He is in town to promote his latest film, “Olympus Has Fallen.” These straight leg jeans fit him a bit slimmer around the calf, so no getting that denim stuck in the chain. We also love the hem length: no dragging the floor! Maybe Gerry just looks great in anything, but his Citizens jeans sure looks sharp and comfy, even if only worn with a simple shirt and sneakers.

Is this a couple Made In Heaven or what (get it?)! Celebrity couple Sienna Miller and Tom Sturridge were seen out in New York recently, wearing MiH and Jean.Machine jeans, respectively, and don’t they look badass? Sienna is wearing MiH Breathless skinny jeans in Nep ($233), as seen on Lana Del Rey recently, and Tom is wearing the Jean.Machine J.M.-1 Slim in Dried ($250). If you recall, Jean Machine was founded by MiH Founder Chloe Lonsdale’s father back in the 70s, but brought back from the archives and revamped. What do you think of their celebrity street style?

Pippa Middleton is one royal trend setter who stays on top of trends in her striped sweater preppy outfit. The collars are back in full force this fall! The striped sweater and patent penny loafer shoes provides that weekend casual style while the black and white motif keeps things classy. By the way, Pippa is wearing a pair of GOLDSIGN “Misfit” Slim Leg jeans in Focus while out shopping last week. Pippa seems to like Goldsign jeans quite a bit. Do you think she inspires you to rock preppy fashion?

We’ve notice for quite some time how Lee Jeans in Europe (aka Lee Europe) has a covetable collection of on-trend jeans for men and women, and they continue to surge forward for Fall-Winter 2012 with a range of colored jeans in tailored cuts and sleek silhouettes. You wouldn’t even stop to think that its American counterpart collection could somehow be related, but we won’t go there. We only hope Lee brings some of those yummy jeans stateside, because we’re ready to have our minds changed. Yes, Lee Jeans might possibly be cool again in the U.S. Check out the gallery for all the velvety, sleek looks!

Let’s face it: men also need options when it comes to jeans. While we agree that not every man should wear skinny jeans, some men can really rock a pair. And, for the slimmer men out there, a pair of skinnies are the only ones that will fit properly on their bodies. So, without further adieu, we rounded up nine pairs of skinny jeans that caught our eyes, both for the washes and treatments, and for the potential to flatter the various shapes of the male form. You’ll be surprised how good you look in them. Whether you’re a musician or a college professor, we think you’ll find a wearable pair of jeans to wear this season.

Think you’ve had enough of all the crazy denim trends this year? We think clothing brand CLOSED will provide some relief with their range of wearable denim from top to bottom. Maintaining a bit of color in its range of jeans, cotton pants and separates, you’ll feel like you could invest in a couple of solid items that will stretch out your wear longer than the seasons. Closed is also one of the few denim brands currently offering denim capris—a perfect cut for ladies who want to show off their new favorite booties. We’re also digging the sartorial touches in the men’s collection. Check out the gallery below for all the Fall-Winter 2012 looks.

Are you looking for the best jeans for men that involve fun colors to be worn this fall? Photographer Ivan Muselli produced a pictorial for Essential Homme magazine, entitled “Whimsical Youth,” which features young male models frozen in action styled in vibrant dapper suits and Technicolor streetwear. Fall earthen colors featured withstanding, you get a fair injection of electric blues and variations of red from silk sateen deep red to soft wool tomato in the trousers and jeans. In some cases, the models were styled in white or an acid-washed brown jeans to counteract the loud colors. If you’ve been wondering how to rock some color this fall, we bet you’ll get some style ideas here.
Models featured: Alexandre Cunha, Bastiaan Van Gaalen, Christian Plauche, Christophe Ribbe, Joan Pedrola, Leebo Freeman, Luke Briggs, Malthe Lund Madsen, Sebastian Sauve, Tom Lander and Tommy Kristiansen. Images via The Fashionisto.

Admit it. Men in jeans who wear an apron are hot. Japanese denim brand Factotum seems to think so, too, and it’s highlighted in their Autumn-Winter 2011 lookbook. Inspired by “Caf? Time,” you get more than a hint of the often beguiling allure of the caf? busboy, or the handsome stranger who might be seated alone nearby. Is he a regular, or is he just passing through? Well, at least he makes an impression.
