Jeans are a must-have basics for all.The more you wear and treat your jeans, the more beautiful they get. Jeans can be compared to other classic garments, like the white oxford shirt or the little black dress. However, jeans have one characteristic that has contributed to their huge success in the fashion industry, namely “attitude.” Some Facts about Denim jeans *Denim jeans are made of indigo-dyed and white cotton threads. *Dry denim is the strongest denim. It also gives the most personal fit after being worn for a couple of months. *Wait at least six months before washing your denim jeans, especially if they are raw denim. This way, you will be ensured of a fit that is perfectly suited to your own unique body type. *Sweden’s fashionable crowd has nicknamed a baggy denim style “the carrot trouser” because its silhouette, featuring a voluminous waist and narrow leg, resembles a carrot. Other basic denim facts: *The word denim is an Americanization of the French name "serge de Nimes," a fabric which originated in Nimes, France during the Middle Ages. In 1864, Webster's dictionary listed the shortened English version: DENIM. *Italian sailors from Genoa wear cotton trousers and the French call Genoa and the people who live there, "Genes." The name "jeans" was applied to the pants as well.*The word dungarees (usually plural) is one of the few mainstream English words to have come from Hindi, one of the major languages of India. The source word in Hindi is dungrí, and refers to a type of coarse cloth. *In English, dungaree is usually used to refer specifically to blue denim fabric, and in plural to refer to clothes, especially trousers, made of such material. Wear Jeans-Always-have fun Oh i was asking,how many pairs of it have you got.

Hi Coolgeth. (grins at the mention of the nick as it rhymes with 'Colgate').How you doing? and what you doing with those so many pairs of jeans? I just own 3. I dump them when they are too worn out.

I have probably 11 or 12 pairs of jeans. I practically live in jeans. Nothing else is comfy to me. Occasionally, I wear a skirt instead. But I'm always afraid I'll get caught in a windstorm & my skirt will fly up without warning!

A bootleg - A bootleg jeans.Faded
Thats quite a number of pairs! Pink might be sexy on girls,although i havn't came across any of it in that shade.Bootlegs are very '60s to 80s' but then they are never out of style.

I have six pairs of jeans. Three of them are nicer jeans, that I can wear to the office, and three pairs are more casual jeans, that I wear on the weekends. I actually wish that I had a couple more pairs for the office, because our work environment is very casual, and most people wear jeans every day.

Miners in Jeans - The last chance miners in levis jeans 1882
They freaking don't go out of style.All thanks to the 'The last Chance Mine' workers who'd worn Levis durable pants(1882) and popularise them and made them possible to come into the fashion world or as a basic clothing.
