The fashionable set abounded at an event held at the J.Crew Men's Shop in SoHo as most attendees and staff were in their trendiest denim.
For men, cuffs were prominent as the guys took their cue from women's fashion by showing off a little bit of ankle as seen here on Tremaine Romeo, J.Crew Visual Director. The look was jazzed up with euro-hip suspenders or ripped to shreds in the boyfriend's version of the boyfriend jeans.

Revelers came out in full force for Brooklyn's own Bastille Day celebration on Smith Street. The event started at 12p and ended at 10p with event-goers enjoying a festival that celebrated the French equivalent of the 4th of July. For several blocks, Smith Street was miraculously transformed into a sandbox with multiple petanque courts set up for a tournament that included over 80 participants. On a small section that wasn't covered with sand, a skateboarding competition was held featuring some high-flying, fearless teenagers. Overall, it was a day filled with great music, great food and great denim-trends.

The Sartorialist perused the streets of New York during Fashion Week capturing with his famed camera the looks that were happening off the runway. Check out what we thought was the best in denim.
1. There's no doubt that ripped, shredded and torn jeans are making a strong comeback. There's something about skin peeking through ragged tears, placed in 'strategic' locations, that provides an injection of sex appeal. As an alternative, bleached out spots on indigo give a similar effect and over time will shred perfectly.
2. If you're like the rest of us than you're sooo over excessively baggy jeans on men, however, don't discount this look just yet. Straight legged, abraded jeans that are cuffed at the bottom are a fresh take on this look for both men and women.
3. The jean jacket and the denim shirt. What can we say. They never really go away, but when they're not in fashion they're relegated to 'knock-around clothes' status. Here they are, fashionably worn as a layered piece and you know what? We kinda like it.
