Scion of Parisian cool ALAIN FABIEN DELON rocks the season’s finest designer denim.

DRESS BLUES

Donning a denim suit doesn’t have to evoke the dreaded “Canadian tuxedo,” a denim-on-denim disaster that has unfairly plagued our neighbors up north for decades. In truth, not only is the blue jean blazer roughing up the runways of Paris and Milan but it doesn’t require fussy tailoring and has an undeniably rakish appeal. Consider it a “jean jacket” fit for the boardroom and the bar. — chris wilson

BLUE AND BOLD

Here’s a fashion-forward way to avoid the denim blues: Mix up your favorite jeans with some stylish signature pieces. Whether it’s the perfect Western shirt, a well-worn denim vest, or even a trench coat that looks like something Bowie would have worn on the streets of 1970s Berlin, denim is all about exuding confidence and cool. — c.w.
