Denim never goes out of style, but this year the working man's fabric has really woven its way into runways. Bell bottoms are back, Canadian tuxedos are no longer scoffed at, and designers found a way to make everything, and knee length jean skirts are back. (The key word here is knee length, NOT your inch-long A&F skirt from 2005).

Returning this year is our denim map, a comprehensive list to guide you through your search for the perfect pair of dungarees. We added a few more fan favorites to the list–Joe's Jeans, Diesel, and Bloomingdale's– and tacked on two local boutiques that specialize in the fabric, like Sunset Clothing Co. and the recently opened Lost Boy Dry Goods in Downtown.

As always, scroll through our list and let us know if we missed any in the comments. And if you're really curious, here's the complete history of how denim came to be.
