ROAD TRIP: AG Jeans, Spring 2012

Adriano Goldschmied is taking a road trip this season, creating a relaxed vibe perfect for spring break and high summer. Easy layering and laid-back styling show how the label can translate fashion-forward trends into marketable retail assortments. 

For women, gauzy tissue tanks are perfect summer complements to AG's pleated gardner and retro palazzo jeans. Along with the cropped denim leggings, I love these ladylike silhouettes infiltrating jeanswear lifestyle. 

Patch 'n' repair effects further the chilled-out feeling for both guys and girls. Destroyed surfaces include bleached whispering, knee rips and heavy pocket abrasion. Western denim shirts in dank to light blues remain staples.

For the fellas, the rugged "Matchbox" style remains classic in ten-year-old-blue. And I love the Nantucket red twill pants. Cotton check in brick or dark navy, poplin and oxford cloth are essential shirtings for SS12.

I was just checking out AG's site… looks like free shipping right now!
