For those of you who have been following Canadian-based Fidelity Denim over the years, you know they’ve been called the butt bra of jeans and have a celebrity following. Fidelity, now distributed stateside, has a mens jeans collection as of 2009. As much as we’re coveting the Spring-Summer 2012 jeans collection (stay tuned for our denim review!), we can’t help but fall in love with the styling in their fall lookbook. You’ll see the requisite skinny jeans, along with a slick burgundy coated jean, flared jeans and even some velvety fine-wale corduroy jeans in skinny silhouettes. Rich, saturated hues along with faded fall shades are at your disposal. Check out the gallery to peruse all the Fall styles.

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.

This winter, Notify Jeans wants to keep you covered in denim the French way. Designer Maurice Ohayon, who made his way through Ungaro, Vanessa Bruno, Stella McCartney (with whom he created a capsule collection of jeans) and K Karl Lagerfeld (where he was Artistic Director), founded Notify, incorporating his love of art, design and desire to mix classic sartorial handcrafts with modern innovation. Made in Italy, Ohayon does not sacrifice much in terms of creating luxurious jeans. For Fall-Winter 2011, coated purple jeans, elegant trouser fit silhouettes and the trademark Notify front pocket panel top-stitching promises not to disappoint its legions of fans in Europe and abroad.

Easy A star Aly Michalka (who definitely looks more like a wild “HellCat” in these morning-after style shots) is seen wearing the David Kahn Katharine Trouser while out and about in West Hollywood. We like how she turned a trouser jean into a casual pant with her flats and simple white shirt (although she might need a bit of hemming from Denim Therapy). Grade change for extra credit = A+

“The Hangover Part II” actress Jamie Chung was recently snapped wearing the David Kahn Katharine denim trousers in Monaco Blue, with a Sunner Classics Compass Tunic in Rustic Floral. We love her effortless L.A.-chic feminine ensemble. The trouser jeans made Jamie look sophisticated and the elegant floral blouse breathes life into her ensemble. Do you want to mix it up with some florals? Throw on a statement necklace to match your hair color, wear a bright lipstick, and you could pretty much rock the look all summer long. Want to get Jamie’s look? We have a few ideas for you to try!
2. We think these dark-washed wide leg jeans would be a sophisticated and slimming alternative. David Kahn Jeans Wide Leg Stretch Jeans ($168) – buy it at Nordstrom.
3. The key to Jamie’s look is wide sleeves. Try this red number! Zara Floral Kaftan (on sale for $39.99) – buy it at Zara stores.
4. Boatneck blouses not for you? Try this v-neck floral top! It will go with just about any jean you have. Weston Wear Languid V-Neck To ($68) – buy it at Anthropologie.
