The "It" Jeans
Brand-name jeans were once reserved for the fairer sex. Not so anymore! "It" labels like Seven For All Mankind, AG, Hudson, and Rock and Republic are now as popular with the guys as they are with the gals. So before you dash off to buy another no-name brand, try on an "it" label and see how they look. And trust us, fellas, the ladies really are checking out your backsides to see which designers you're wearing.
Slim it Down Now
Still swaggering 'round in uber-baggy denim? Perhaps it's time to trade those oldies in for a more refined, slim-fitting look. Now before you go conjuring up images of '80s hair band singers in skin-tight spandex, think again. By "slim" we simply mean a straight cut leg that sits just below the waist, and accentuates the butt and crotch. Your best bets? Try one of Diesel's many slim-fit styles or Levis Skinner Low Rise.

Holier than Thou
Take what you know about distressed denim, and then take it up a notch. Think faded blue hues, add a few strategically placed holes, and then toss in a few more holes for good measure. Whether you're hanging out with the boys, or hitting the party circuit, these worn and torn jeans are the must-have denims of the season. Feeling really trendy? Opt for a slim-fitting pair. Among our favorites destroyed denims: True Religion's Joey cuts, ripped jeans from Just Cavalli, and Hudson's Heavy Broken Jean.
