MUMBAI: Jeans are one fashion item that have definitely had ups and downs and evolved significantly throughout time. In the late 1800s, denim trousers, typically worn by male workers and originally referred to as ‘waist overalls’, were fairly commonplace as rough and tumble work wear.
Today, denims have become a fashion staple over the years, and history is testimony to the fact that it has been best friends with one and all, from labourers to all those who look for comfort in their work wear. It has become that number one fashion essential in the closets of women and men worldwide.
Today, we take a look at how different denims have made a place in the hearts of many, including the paparazzi! Light washes, cuffed denim styles, and black basic jeans were the regnant jeans trends in the 1950s. Although women seldom wore jeans in that era, here’s a glimpse of the shade of jeans that men took fancy to.
Jeans were accepted as a counterculture fashion in the 1960s. Giving birth and nurtured by the hippie culture, the youthful movement represented freedom from more structured pieces of clothing. Popular cuts included bell-bottom flares and low-rise hip huggers.
Baggy pants are heavily trending these days and we have actress such as Reem Shaikh, Gauahar Khan, Surbhi Jyoti, Jasmin Bhasin, Jannat Zubair, Anushka Sharma, Hina Khan, Surbhi Chandna, Priyal Mahajan and Mouni Roy nailing this trend and how!
