No matter what the weather is or the time of the day it is,
there is one piece of clothing that is always comfortable. Our beloved denims
never ceases to be our favourite thing in the wardrobe. At the very beginning,
they used to be the work clothes of gold miners. The foundation was laid from
the need of some sturdy fabric that won’t get torn easily in the mid of a hard
work’s day. And so was the legendary denims.
Eventually they became the very embodiment of casual fashion
and everyone across the globe is wearing them today. However, it was in 1950s’
that jeans were given its due credit and got features in leading fashion
magazines like Vogue.
Through the decades the fabric has gone through numerous
modifications and styles but this is a style that never once did go out of
fashion. They symbolize the rebellious spirit of the youth and were once worn
by the ones challenging conformism. Nevertheless, the fabric has always been in
the midst of controversies. Till date you will not see a person wearing their
pair of jeans to any meeting or any formal functions. And if you challenge to
break that tradition you will be looked down upon. The Canadians thus came up
with the famous Canadian Tuxedo, which is basically when you are covered in
denims from head to toe. Jeans shirt, jacket and jeans pants and maybe a hat
too; there you have your Canadian Tuxedo.
Let’s look at the trends that denims have gone through theages. In the 50s’ the movies like ‘Rebel Without A Cause’ and ‘The Wild One’
popularized the fabric. And in the movies the lead actors James Dean and Marlon
Brando portrayed young people with rebellious nature. And so was the fabric
trademarked as something that stands against conventionalism. Later they were
picked up by music icons like Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly only further
confirming its image.
Denims did not take a back seat during the summer of love.
They were in fact very much in trend with stars like the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix
and Janis Joplin often seen sporting them. The trousers were cut in big flares
and some sported them with threads hanging out from the seams.
In the 80s’ and 90s’ came the period when tight fitted jeans
were in. Later in 90s’ the jeans became more and more ripped with the grunge
generation catching up. Denims only saw a dip in the period of 2000s’ when the
fabric came in numerous pastel colors and were jazzed up with a lot of junk
jewelry.
