How to Wear Cropped Bottoms

Cropped bottoms are a growing style trend and have been all over the spring runways. The tapered trousers and a straight cargo are very in right now and feel fresh and new. Unfortunately, this trend can look unfaltering and dated if not done right.

Leggy women can pull off the tapered cut, but should insure that that the crop hits low on the calf and slightly above the ankle. This will keep the look like purposeful and not like you have grown out of your pants.

Those with shorter legs or who are pear shaped are best suited with a straight cut or wide leg style. This will elongated and slim the leg. A nude heal will also help in this department!

Juicy Couture Carmella Ankle Jean in Black

If you have heavy calves, you can still work this trend. Just insure the crop hits at the smallest part of your calf as this is where the visual focal point will be. The smallest part of the leg will tend to be right above your ankle.

Alternatively, if you have thin calves a close fit cut is better suited for you making your legs look proportionate and shapely. A wide cut will only make you leg look scrawny.

If you're wondering what to wear with this cropped style, a flowing top is very of the moment. Chose a peasant top, loose tee, or ruffles. A jacket or blazer can be worn over the top and will perfectly nip in the waist.

Photogs caught up with Jennifer Aniston wearing a pair of Hudson Jeans on the set of her latest film 'Just Go With It' which centers on a man (Adam Sandler) who enlists a mother and her children to help him get the woman of his dreams.

Jen is probably one of the few women who could make this kind of shot look good - or is it the denim? See for yourself by scoring your own pair of her Signature Bootcut in Dakota from Hudson Jeans.

Diesel Does Stupid

Diesel denim launched their new 'Be Stupid' campaign last week with a huge bash at the Cosmoprof Worldwide in Bologna, Italy. The event included a total of five DJs and an inexplicable collection of colored ball pits. Francesca Chillemi, Katy Saunders, Melissa Satta, Nicola Balestri and Cesare Cremonini, Caterina Balivo, Aureliana De Santis, Pino Pace, Cristina Lucchini and DJ Kleopatra were all in attendance. Francesca is pictured above wearing the new and ever popular 8B3 wash that has been seen on AnnaLynne McCord Elle Macpherson.

Dance for Diesel

What I love best about fashion shows is the presentation is often as spectacular as the designs themselves. Diesel takes it a step further with the production of this promo video. The clip doubles as a way to preview the brand's spring/summer line and a debut for breaking musical talent Josep Xorto. All I can think is that this must have been fun to create.

The tune is downright catchy and the denim not half-bad either. Watch the video here, or click here to shop all the latest Diesel at UrbanMinx.

Celebrity Sighting: Michael Phelps in Diesel

USA multiple gold medalist Michael Phelps was spotted wearing Diesel denim while attending a book signing at Barnes & Noble.

We think he'll always look a little like a fish out of water with his swim duds absent, but these Diesel jeans have our stamp of approval as far as land-faring attire goes. Now about that pink shirt...

Staff Pick: The Skinny on Kensie

Minx model Robin is all about London style, which is why she loves these new Miss Me Skinny Jeans in Griffith Park.

Set at a sensible mid-rise, the jean is a flattering classic skinny cut in a modish black wash. This pair would be a perfect addition to any fall wardrobe when worn with luxe ankle booties or some statement heels for holiday.

Celebrity Sighting: Elle Macpherson in Diesel

Elle is rocking one of our latest styles from the coveted Diesel denim brand - the Louvely.

The Diesel Louvely is a spectacular leg-lengthener and the wider bootcut will go great with whatever footwear that takes your fancy. The wash is a lightly distressed, yet refreshingly lucid blue.

Look Louvely this fall with your very own pair. Shop Diesel at UrbanMinx here.

Celebrity Sighting: Hayden in Paige Denim

Red Engine Made Simple

The fabulous Red Engine jeans were featured not once, but twice in the women's staple mag of Real Simple's August issue!

On the list was the ever-popular Red Engine Boyfriend Jean in Cure, used as the article's cover jean for the popularity of the cut.

Also listed was the Garnet Bootcut in Midnight Vintage - recommended to flatter and enhance a woman's curves.

Each Red Engine jean featured, as well as every other jean in their collection, is composed of irresistibly soft Italian denim. You can pick up a pair of these coveted Red Engine jeans here at UrbanMinx!

Staff Pick: A Green Light for Red Engine

The Red Engine Scarlett is a classic low-rise jean. Form fitting, yet with a generously flared leg, the Scarlett balances body proportions beautifully. Unlike most second-skin style jeans, the Scarlett will rest easy on your contours, offering extreme comfort as well as that sought-after slim silhouette.

The Scarlett was selected by none other than UrbanMinx proprietor Melissa Walton for its fantastic fit and sensual cut. The sleek cut and darker wash render the jean just as fit for business as for pleasure, but this is definitely a jean to let loose in!

Hudson High Life

Jeans probably seem like a forgettable facet of your daily wardrobe. If that’s the case, you’re probably not wearing the right pair.

Finding the right fit and wash can do wonders with even the most casual of ensembles, though it can be difficult to locate both elements in one jean. Luckily, Hudson Jeans has done all the work
for you!

Each Hudson wash carries depth and a careful attention to detail that flatters the impeccable cut - and in turn - your figure. Between the pages of Vogue’s May 2009 issue, Gisele Bundchen confessed that she considered her Hudson jeans to be “the best in the butt, at the moment.”

Gisele is only one of many in the devoted Hudson following. Others include Anna Kournikova, Selma Hayek, Sandra Bullock, and Jennifer Aniston, who is pictured here in the brand's new summer-friendly crop, the Gabby Cuffed Flood Jean in DHA. The Gabby has also been featured in Elle Shop's denim guide in their selections of the "very best new jeans." Capture a bit of star style and pick up your very own Gabby Jean here at UrbanMinx.
