As temperatures cool down this fall, designer denim is set to be hotter than ever. This is due in part to the resurgence of old school denim brands that are making a comeback by updating their classic designs. So these are the brands your mother wore, but they€™re definitely not mom jeans. Here are our top picks:
#1 Dittos
Flattering cuts and candy colors make a sweet comeback as this 1970s must-have is back and better than ever. They€™ve kept some of their original high-waisted and wide leg cuts but have added some fresh styles like low rise skinnies, and classic shorts. Then there€™s the Ditto keychain looped onto each pair- it€™s like the cherry on top of this denim delicacy. Time to raid mom€™s closet!Where In The Hive: bookmark/158962
#2 Jordache
Jeans are worn for every occasion these days, but in the 1970s they were all about fun. And no one did fun better than Jordache, who basically made jeans and a t-shirt the uniform for kids (and kids at heart) at play. These days Jordache is creating new contemporary styles but of course never forgetting their signature quality and fabrics. With Heidi Klum as the face (or shall we say€¦ legs) of the new campaign, the line is sure to be popular when it finally debuts this September.Where In The Hive: bookmark/218370
#3 Levi€™s
No list of denim designers would be complete without mentioning Levi€™s, the name that started it all. While they€™ve always been reinventing their classic 501s, they€™ve undergone a true revival over the past few years as designer denim has skyrocketed in popularity. Their latest collection takes us back to the 80s with the 471, a Madonna-inspired high-waisted skinny cut that has just enough modern appeal. Always classic, always cool, yet always changing- Levi€™s does it so well.Where In The Hive: bookmark/218369
#4 Guess?
I remember wearing Guess clothes in the 1990s, thinking I was soooo cool with the question mark logo. While the label didn€™t experience as much success in the 90s, 2000 represented a new turn with sexier ad campaigns and the Marciano line a few years later. Now, with premium denim at prices as high as established designer denim-specific brands, Guess has jumped on the designer-quality bandwagon and is moving at full speed, no question about it.Where In The Hive: bookmark/218367
#5 Made In Heaven
Originally launched in 1969, Made In Heaven jeans pioneered the fashion denim trend. What sets this label apart from the rest is its European chic style which is understated but always sexy with a great fit. These days, Chloe Lonsdale, daughter of Made In Heaven's creator, runs the label, maintaining the same feel that the jeans had in the 70s but giving them contemporary details for a slightly retro but undeniably modern result.Where In The Hive: bookmark/218373
