Summer is pretty much over. The temperature may still be in bare leg territory, but that doesn't mean it isn't time to start restocking the pants section of your wardrobe.

Good news for those who like to keep things minimalist in that department -- a flexible dark blue wash is one of the upcoming season's hottest denim looks. Combine it with a fresh update of an old-fashioned, trouser-like cut -- such as this elegant design from Citizens of Humanity -- and you've got a hip pair of jeans that function equally well as casual office garb.

Figure in a hundred buck discount, and that fall wardrobe revamp isn't looking so daunting after all. ($97 from Tobi.com)
