Jeans seem like a fashion never fades out.

 

We see, the style of our clothing is always changing. Bell-bottoms came into fashion quickly and went away quickly, and then they came back and after a while they left again. Hot pants come and go.  But what happened with jeans? Jeans seem to have survived. They made impossible possible. It remains a major trend from the 18th century to the present day. In our days now, it is easy for you to find someone who is wearing jeans. The fashion of jeans start from America and it has been spread all over the world and the trend of this fashion never seems to stop. Sometimes, popularity usually come to the end after a certain period of time, but for jeans, it is apparently not!!!

 

What should we pay attention is that, jeans took a new role in society and pop culture in America in 1930’s. During that time, the Hollywood was emerging and the western was so popular then. It had been an icon of American pop culture. Since then, jeans were unstoppable!!

The first jeans

In 1873, the first jeans were invented by Levi Strauss, who is regarded as the father of jeans. At that time, the Americans were attracted by gold washing. Levi is truly gifted. Unlike the majority, he did not hurry to wash gold like the others, while he made money from the gold miners. So the first style of jeans is tight around the hip, straight trouser legs and low-cut ,and these features precisely meet the need of gold miners. They are made of canvas, which is not easy to damage compared to pants made of cotton.

Bleached jeans
There came a hot wind of yesterday-style. In order to make it seem retro, people bleached the jeans on purpose. Actually, jeans become white naturally because of long time friction. 




Jeans with holes

In the 1980s, economic prosperity and active thoughts had well developed. The Americans could no longer be satisfied with the beauty or casualness, they tried to make something unique. The new symbols of fashion were torn-offs, gaps, broken holes and rough selvedges. This new style can be considered as an extension of the bleached jeans which is more damaged because of friction. Of course, the holes are also artificial.  



Skinny jeans

So nowadays you can see more and more American girls get their charming statures back. They cannot ignore the good time to show their hot figures so that skinny jeans become popular again.

Lena is spending the summer in Greece with her grandparents; Tibby is staying at home; Bridget is going to soccer camp in Mexico; and Carmen is visiting her father in South Carolina.








On one of their final days shopping together, the girls find a seemingly ordinary pair of jeans that fit them all perfectly and flatter their figures, despite their very different measurements. The girls dub them the Traveling Pants and decide to share them equally over the course of the summer. They part the next day, and the film focuses on each girl's journey seperately.






These four girls spend the summer seperrately, taking turns wearing the pants. The most surprising thing is that each girl who wore the pants will met lucking things.

They change with the wind...but they're always bright

Bright eyes...Blue Denim

Bright eyes...Blue Denim
