Forget Out-Of-Print Biographies, Now Amazon’s The Place To Go For Denim

Amazon launched a denim shop today, and for a limited time, will be offering free shipping on some of the brands and free returns (so get shopping soon).

They’ve got a good round-up of denim lines; some of the trendier options include Rock & Republic and Justin Timberlake’s brainchild, William Rast.

Of course, this being Amazon, they have’t failed to offer up a range of jeans to suit every taste, and that encompasses some of our favorite denim mainstays, like Levi’s and 7 For All Mankind.

We like the mega-site’s well-curated oasis of denim, though we’re always partial to our own picks. If you’re looking to update your jeans wardrobe this fall, you can’t do better than to peruse the best of skinny jeans, black denim, and Oprah’s favorite, CJ by Cookie Johson jeans.

Oprah Loves CJ by Cookie Johnson Jeans, And So Do We

Oprah cover with cj by Cookie Johnson jeans

Whenever Oprah talks about something, we feel compelled to check it out. Her affordable gift ideas and skincare advice have turned out to be quite good, so when it was revealed that Oprah loves Magic Johnson’s wife’s line of jeans, CJ by Cookie Johnson, we had to take a look. She even wore the brand on her October cover of O.

Cookie Johnson took up the torch to create the denim line after struggling to find jeans that accommodated her healthy, size 8 curves, so the fit is a top priority. As the designer herself says, these jeans are meant for “a mother, a daughter, a grandmother. She has curves, and she has style.”

Of Cookie Johnson’s classic looks, our favorites in the line include this hip black pair of Grace bootcut jeans and the Truth high waist jeans in a dark rinse.

What really impresses us about CJ by Cookie Johnson, though, is that the line doesn’t make you sacrifice a fashion-forward look in order to get a great fit. We love the very of-the-moment gray Love boyfriend jeans as well as the line’s Joy legging-style jeans.

Whether you want a basic bootcut or a trendy fit, CJ by Cookie Johnson makes jeans you can count on, so shop the full range to try out every style. Oprah recommends owning a complete set of lingerie, and we think pairing these jeans with the right skivvies might be just the ticket to never having to hike, push, pull, or tug at your outfit again.

Just in case you’re still on the hunt for perfect denim, take a look at the best skinny jeans, fall-appropriate black jeans, and boot cut jeans to cover all your bases.

We love designer jeans, but it’s tough to have real fun in them at those designer prices. For all the styles you love, look no further than Saks, now offering huge markdowns on denim from some of our favorite brands.

We love the trendy dark wash of these skinny jeans ($78 from $132) from Rock & Republic. Wear them with heels or tuck them into a pair of slouchy boots this fall.

A classic boot cut jean in a light wash will always come in handy. We like this pair from 7 For All Mankind ($86 from $215) for its useful contoured waistband – so you’ll never suffer embarrassing underwear sightings.

How To Wear White Jeans (Yes, It Can Be Done) This Fall

Taking those summer duds and making them fall-worthy is a careful art form; if you can don a few essentials all year round, you’re golden, literally and figuratively. So, in the spirit of saving some bucks, we’re here to dispel the age-old myth that white jeans can’t be worn after Labor Day. In a season when prissy style is out and tough chic is in, we think that if they’re done right, white jeans can make just the statement.

What to wear with white jeans COLLAGE

For a tough-chic but still classy look, we suggest starting with a fitted pair of cigarette jeans in white. To offset the summery pant, go with grays and blacks on top: a loose-fitting, softer than soft button down, and a more structured faux leather bomber. To get in on the cut out trend we’ve been loving, try a sleek pair of peep toe booties and to top it all off, a very fall chunky gold necklace.

7 For All Mankind Gwenevere Skinny Jeans, $169

LNA Button Down Blouse, $121

Silence & Noise Faux Leather Jacket, $98

Nine West Phantom Bootie, $99.95

Banana Republic Layered Chainlink Necklace, $86

Experiment with summer styles for fall and browse our choices for the best in tees for your shape and sunglasses. And don’t forget to pick up a versatile blazer to throw on over those chic summer frocks.

Citizens of Humanity expertly uses a unique wash and zipper detailing to make this a particularly stylish, notice-me pair of jeans ($129 from $216).

A pair of pencil leg jeans works all year round, particularly if they’ve been made by J Brand ($125 from $209).

Trompe l’What? The Hot New Trend Not Just For French Speakers

It’s official – the couture houses are obsessed with trompe l’oeil. French for “trick of the eye,” this art world technique uses prints to create fabrics that are not always what they appear. So far this look hasn’t been seen much outside of the runway, but we managed to track down some very wearable alternatives to the designer duds.

1. Mary Katrantzou’s perfume bottle inspired dress ($1,115) accentuates -or creates – the sexy curves of the (probably rich and thin) wearer. Accentuate your own curves for less with a Mara Hoffman frock ($297) and look a little like a chandelier while you’re at it.

2. Sure, Inside Out’s zipper print jean ($310) has the grungy cool look down pat, but Free People’s Lace Stencil Skinny Jeans ($98) offer a slightly girlier take on the trend.

3. So far, none of the ready-to-wear brands are making anything similar to Comme des Garçons’ blue illusion jacket ($1,240). We know that Forever 21 is always the first to produce carbon copies inspired imitations of high fashion, so for now we’ll have to do with their trompe l’oeil inspired zipper tee ($12.80).

Ask SheFinds: Can I Wear Dark Jeans In The Summer?

A reader recently sent us a very timely query-

Dear SheFinds,

Can you wear dark jeans in the summer?

We feel your pain here. Dark jeans are so flattering, but they can look out of place in the summer sunshine. Just remember, light and flowy on top balances dark on the bottom.

For a night on the town, try pairing your dark skinny jeans, like this flattering pair ($90), with a loose tunic ($42) and some open-toed heels.

Another great time to break out the dark jeans in July – casual Friday. A tailored wide-leg jean makes you look professional. Try this trouser by Anlo ($207) – which I happen to own and adore – with this breezy, yet structured J. Crew cami ($88).

Browse our choices for evening tops and flattering denim to go with them.

Have a style question you need answered? Send to tips@shefinds.com and we’ll get on the case.
