Trend Alert: JEANS LEGENDS

June 5, 2017 Jill Lawrence

Legends in Blue Denim from way back influencing today's fashion jeanswear.    There were fewer variants in the indigo shade but the indigos were natural, bluer and brighter.    Slims and skinnies were born of the cowboy fit which in turn influenced rock n' roll jeans - slim legs; high waists; cuffs up.     The flying suit for women, born in the early munitions factories of the USA, reborn as 1950's denim wear, again has become the hottest denim fashion item on the street.                                                 

The Western shirt and Trucker jacket - are they original workwear? Yes!     Are they now universal everyday wear? Yes!     Are they current fashion denim wear?  Yes!  

So nothing changes, just the when and the where.

Legendary style of jeans and vest hasn't changed.

The recognisable Levi "swoosh" stitching matched with cowboy boots strikes a chord with denimistas every wear.   As does the re-inforced pocket stitching which replaced the original pocket rivet.     Real vintage jeans are dateable by button and rivet style and colour.
