Denim Goes Bold for Fall

Are you ready? Denim junkies will be thrilled by what's on tap this fall. Gone are garden-variety jeans and in are the crop of unexpected colors, patterns and details that take basic denim in an entirely new direction. From fierce animal prints to skintight cuts, these aren't 2011's jeans, ladies. Witness the evidence - and then decide if any will work for you.

Here's what we mean: These Goldsign Lurex Lace Coated Skinny Jeans ($278) offer it all in one package. What might have been a case of way too much manages to work with amazing success, thanks in great part to the dark color palette, edgy snakeskin print and flawless silhouette. The Lurex coating lends it a faint sheen - just enough, but nothing overpowering.






Amazing what a mere zipper can do, isn't it? These 7 For All Mankind Skinny Savanah Jeans ($198) aren't for the timid - and not just because they negotiate your curves in show-stopping fashion. They're also accented by visible, high-shine zippers on the front for a cool, confident finish.

So complex you won't even know they're jeans! These Limited Printed Skinny Jeans ($74.90) are available in four fantastic prints, including this vivid blue (there's also a timeless lace print). We love the slightly houndstooth-style quality of this pattern. Imagine the possibilities of a pair of jeans that don't really even look like jeans - you might even wear them to the office!

Consider it required wearing for fall: a pair of bold jeans in a radiant color. These LOFT Color Pop Modern Skinny Jeans ($59.50) are available in a variety of mouthwatering colors, from teal to this brilliant orange. Envision them with anything brown, taupe, rust, red...you get the picture. Enjoy.
