Why Are Jeans So Popular?

this is where I really learn a lot about it and it answer all my questions not only for me but for anyone else who had questions about it which I think there was a lot of people who had the same questions. This was actually my favorite part in this term and I got a lot  of feed back from this because it was a question that not only me was trying to understand but others were wondering too.

 

I always wonder to myself since I was a kid why are jeans so popular in the world. I started noticing as a kid that jeans is not only a fashion in America but in the whole world. Everyone knows what jeans are and i always wonder why they become so popular? the fact that jeans for some people are common and basic fashion makes me wonder how did it all started and who created this idea and new look. I did some research and found out that jeans were invented in 1873 by Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss. In 1848 when the California gold rush became big people need working clothes that would last long and can take damage. They are people discovered jeans they became working clothes for everyone who wanted to work hard all day long. ” Jeans were working clothes at first. They were made from durable materials and could last long” its what they described. At the year 1960 the clothes came back from the dead and became fashion in peoples eyes. They said that a movie call “Rebel without a Cause” become a great reason why they become so popular. After that jeans became a high fashion design that people will say that it would never run out style. Now a days jeans can be worn by mostly any one of different ages and genders.

    I agree. sometimes things are used for one purpose and then someone somewhere gets a lot of attention using it and a lot of people start following it as a trend. nowadays it’s just almost anything people turn into stylish. such as crocs.

    I like your topic about what interests you. I never even knew jeans were invented for that reason; to be used as working clothes throughout a long hectic day at work.

    Nelson, great topic. Why are jeans so popular? How have they changed? Why do some cost thousands of dollars, while you can buy others for about $10? How did wearing jeans become a status symbol instead of being used as work clothes?
