Many years ago, jeans were only for cowboys and factory workers. No one would dream of wearing jeans for casual wear, to almost all and any events. But at the same time, many appreciated the durability of denim, its typical blue coloring and the “hand” of denim.
Somewhere around early 1960, some brave person decided to wear a pair of jeans with a jacket and tie. Although there was no Facebook or Twitter at the time, the jeans look almost immediately went viral. And from the simple Levi one-style jeans, designers began to exhibit new and different styles in the hope of offering a collection of jeans that would capture the hearts of all.
Originally manufactured in Nîmes, France, when others were told this hard-working material came “de Nîmes” (from Nîmes), they soon began calling it denim.
Jumping forward to our age, denim clothing is worn daily everywhere. While denim jackets and skirts among other articles of clothing have been popular for many years now, a pair of jeans is still not only the most widely worn denim material, but one of the easiest materials to care for, being tough enough to stand up to constant washing, and most love the way age and laundering seem to improve the appearance.
