The tipping point.

Almost everyone in their lifes have ever used one of these pants, jeans. They are made from denim, but no many people know the origin of these casual pants. I was curious about how they became so popular and also how they are always so fashionable.

According to Wikipedia, its origin comes from Italy. Basically these pants were created for work clothes ,Nimes tried to reproduced pants cloth in a cheaper way, so they used denim.

The original jeans that we know nowadays were inveted by Jacob w. David and Levi Strauss in 1873. It was specially created for cowboys and miners, becoming popular also in 1950 in teenagers and hippies, punk , rock , and heavy metal. It was also introduced in World War II by US soldiers.

In 1950 jeans became a symbol of rebelion. In 1960 men's and women's jeans had zippers in the front part.

Jeans comes in various colors and styles. Although it was a particular identity of American culture; nowadays is part of everyones outfit, because they look casual or classic and you can combine them with a shirt or t- shirt. They are so comfortable, am I right that jeans became a tipping point in the fashion world?
