Rad Skinny Checkerboard Jeans from Ksubi

The 8 year old Aussie cult brand recently relaunched their website, with denim, sunnies, limited edition items, and even books reflecting co-founders Dan Single & George Gorrow's vision of the brand as a culture of fashion, music and art. Modeled after Google, the Ksubi site makes it easy to find out about brand history, past collections, and, of course, shop for these happenin' high-waisted skinny stretch jeans are available at Ksubi.com.

The checkerboard pattern is visually associated with early 80s New Wave music, itself "an energetic reaction to the supposedly overproduced, uninspired popular music of the 1970s. It's a fun way to rock the season's black & white trend and standout in a sea of girlie silhouettes and sugary pastels. 

Here are some other fun checkerboard accessories that will help you take one (fashion) step beyond:
