Photos: The Summer 2013 Denim Guide

Edited by Kelly Connor

From Louis Vuitton to Alexander McQueen to Givenchy, the resort 2014 runway collectsions were a friendly, fashionable reminder that denim, once banished to the province of the weekend, continues to stake its rightful claim on new territory, showing up—and appropriately so—everywhere from the office to a big, big night out. But, despite its omnipresence, is there anything harder to find than the right pair of jeans? With that in mind, we pulled together the absolute best of the best for our look-no-place-else denim guide.
