Jeans became a component of everyday attire for all people in the 19th century. Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss produced them; they made them in 1873 as working-class, hard-wearing clothes for workers and miners. The jeans were made from denim cloth, a strong rough fabric at the time named “serge de Nîmes” from France, and riveted with rivets to reinforce it.
By the mid-20th century, jeans were a shift from workwear to one of culture after youth and rebels embraced them after Hollywood legends James Dean and Marilyn Monroe. They later became symbols of rebellion and nonconformity.
The 1970s and 1980s were the jeans decade of the world, when the bell-bottom and skinny exploded on the fashion world, a hallmark of fad-resisting fashion. Jeans in current times have various cuts, washes, and styles for every demography and every use.
From labor to lifestyle fashion, from utilitarian working gear to designer staple, jeans symbolize the essence of flexibility-from age-honored custom to cutting-edge creativity. From utilitarian purposes to fashion craziness, their history is proof of their durability through the years.
