This is an exciting time of year if you enjoy fashion. At INDi we’ve been checking out all the fashion week runway shows and have picked out some of our favorite trends. Quirky printed pants and colorful suits were a popular alternative to boring work wear. Also bold colors, including cobalt blue and stark black and white, dominated many shows. Fall/Winter 2012 is going to be all about strong statement pieces. What trends did you love or hate?

At INDi reading style blogs is one of our favorite ways to stay inspired about denim. With the weather getting miler, a lot of our must-read bloggers are rocking their denim jeans with cuffs. Whether paired with a comfy sweater and flats or a fitted blazer and pumps, cuffed jeans can work double duty. Cropped, ankle length pants will be popular once the warm weather really arrives, and cuffing your jeans is an easy way to test the trend before your commit. Any color denim is good for this trend, with the lighter more distressed washes reading as a boyfriend-style jean and the darker washes as more formal.

Denim From Day to Night
Finding the perfect pair of flared jeans is not an easy feat. They need to be the right wash, have a tight fit around the thigh, and just the right amount of flare. When I found this pair below, they quickly became a staple in my closet. They’re polished enough for work, yet sexy enough for a night out (plus they’re super stretchy and comfortable, which always makes me happy!). With my 9-to-5 work days and nighttime adventures out in San Francisco, I’m always thinking of new ways to wear my jeans. So below I’ll show you how to wear this classic trend for different occasions in your everyday life.
Day Look:
Tucking in a chic blouse is a classic way to achieve a polished, work appropriate look. Add a sleek belt, your favorite trench, and some lace up wedges to complete the look. This outfit is polished, professional, and perfect for a day at the office. 
Night Look:
To transform your jeans from day to night, start by adding a fun, sexy top like a gold sequin tank. Throw in a pop of color to brighten up the look even more, and of course, finish it off with a pair of your favorite pumps.

After 6 months of NFL football the winner is about to be decided this Sunday, February 5 in Indianapolis. The final game is between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots. Both teams have blue and red color schemes, so here at INDi we’ve been thinking about ways to NOT get mistaken for a fan of the other team. And, of course, we’ve also been thinking about what to eat! Any good football-watching party includes something to snack on, so we tried out this recipe for black bean dip. Everyone can agree this dip’s a winner, regardless of which team comes out victorious on Sunday.
Follow these easy steps to whip up your own black bean dip, serve with tortilla chips and snack happy!
If you’re a Giants fan you know that bright red is the key to this outfit. Add in some blue wash jeans and you’re ready for the big game.
Patriots fans know you have to wear navy and red – paired with New England worthy grey jeans this outfit is comfy and cute.
So go on with these tips! We here at INDi hope you enjoy the Super Bowl (whether you love football or not)!

Paris is known as the City of Light and for it’s fabulous fashion. What better place to look for outfit inspiration? Parisians know that denim is chic especially when worn paired with well-planned accessories. Denim worn fitted through the leg for both men and women is a popular and stylish way to contrast bulky scarves and flowing tops. Of course the super trendy flare leg jean also makes an appearance in a city this fashionable. The overall denim trend in Paris is to keep it fitted and dark; but don’t shy away from the occasional pop of color for a change of pace.

Hey guys, we’ve talked a lot on the blog about how to style INDi women’s jeans but we haven’t given you much help. Today we’re going to change that—we’ve talked about what raw denim is and how to care for it before—but we’ve never really discussed how to actually wear it. At INDi we make it easy, in addition to our regular blue raw denim we also now carry raw denim in a black wash. Both of these fabrics will wear to your lifestyle and become even more unique to you. We decided to make this simple by taking some real street style inspiration. Whether you choose to pair your raw denim with a blazer and nice shoes for a more formal look or layer with a utility jacket and a beanie, raw denim is an easy statement maker for any outfit.
Look 1, Look 2, Look 3
So these were our thoughts on raw denim, how would you choose to style them?

Whether on the streets of Paris or Milan, men favor a more fitted jeans paired with slightly retro feeling clothes. Women’s street style is even more versatile – skinny to wide leg all can be worn this fall. But the one thing all these stylish denim wearers have in common? Their own unique take on how to wear jeans. Obviously, anyone who doesn’t think street style influences major designers should think again!

Fall is fast approaching so here at INDI we’ve started thinking about how our wardrobes will change. Taking a cue from last fall we wanted to continue wearing light wash, distressed jeans (check out a pair of custom jeans in our vintage with distressing finish?). Inject an element of fun into a pair of straight leg jeans by taking a cue from recent menswear trends, loosely roll the cuff of your jeans above a moccasin or oxford and show off your socks. Paired with a plaid button up or cute tank top and cardigan, this style plays on several recent trends, Americana and menswear, but is most of all it’s comfortable! Another look we’re loving for fall is the 70’s high wasted flare or wide lef jean. Go full on retro chic with a suede jacket and tucked in button up or head towards a softer, more hippie, styling with a loose boho top. Take a look below for some more denim ideas this fall:
Now that you have some ideas, why not try out a pair of custom jeans?
