There's something about a pair of great jeans can make your cold-weather wear entirely effortless. So, as we head toward Fall, we're admittedly a little obsessed with our denim pieces. Along those lines, certain icons come to mind when we think easy denim, women who epitomize the perfect fit with silhouettes that flatter and styles that feel entirely their own. Think Claudia Schiffer in her signature '70s cut, Cher giving hers a bohemian spin, and Brooke Shields and her world-famous Calvins. There's more in store — from Jane Birkin's flares to Jennifer Aniston's boyfriend jeans. This crew provides the style cues to take you straight into Fall. Click through to get inspired by 20 of our favorite denim icons.
See Claudia Schiffer Model in Her New Cashmere Collection Lookbook
>> Claudia Schiffer's new knit collection — designed with German cashmere specialist Iris von Arnim — made its retail debut at Colette during Paris couture week, and it's hitting 50 doors worldwide shortly — including Net-a-Porter later this month. Camilla Akrans captured Schiffer herself modeling the tube dresses, chunky cardigans, and cableknit sweaters (which range from about $400 to $1,600) for the collection's lookbook, and the new designer says of her offering: "I wanted to make easy pieces that are practical yet chic . . . It’s been a huge learning curve, but it’s something I have wanted to do for a long time."

Altogether easy in the chicest way possible. Just click the items below to shop a similar style.

Claudia Schiffer Addresses Husband Matthew Vaughn's Rumored Relationship with January Jones
>> In part fanned by her skinnier-than-usual appearance at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this month, rumors have emerged surrounding the state of Claudia Schiffer's nine-year marriage to director Matthew Vaughn. Some have suggested that Vaughn is the unnamed father of January Jones's baby, which she conceived while filming the Vaughn-directed X-Men: First Class. But Vaughn's lawyers have called the rumors an "absolute lie," and Schiffer's spokesperson has likewise called the claims "complete nonsense." [NY Post, Vogue UK]

Which Model Does Peekaboo Best?

At the Cannes premiere of This Must Be The Place, legendary catwalker Claudia Schiffer and runway stunner Anja Rubik went head-to-head on the red carpet, both clad in sexy black gowns — and both with little left to the imagination. Claudia sported a lace bustier Dolce & Gabbana gown, accessorizing with layered diamond necklaces and a pair of black pumps. Anja's dress may have been full-length and long-sleeved, but it wasn't exactly modest. The Emilio Pucci gown was covered in sequins, and featured an ornate pattern made up of tiny holes. Both models looked gorgeous — but who did black peekaboo best?
