Denim has almost reached an iconic status amongst the
youngsters and whilst it is really difficult to point the
time of exact evolution of the outfit called "jeans" into a
youth icon, there is no doubt of their impact!
Jeans seemed to become a key fashion item for the mid-1950s
teenage generation, and since then they have remained
constant though, its fashion forms have changed slightly.
Denim is perhaps one of the most versatile materials that
have never faded into oblivion in spite of the mushrooming
of different materials and attires. It is almost an object
of worship all across the world irrespective of religion,
nationality or sex for that matter. Indeed, it has been
conceptualized by fashion designers and worshippers all
around the world in the form of skin tight jeans, shrugs,
minis, micros, pedal pushers, jackets and many more.
After much research, today the fashion world can wear more
than a hundred kinds of jeans fabrics including stretch,
ramie cotton, poly, chemical denim washes and mechanical
denim washes. Out of all these, stretch denim, according to
a survey, rates the highest in the popularity chart. It is
roughly 98% cotton and contains 2% spandex to create
desired stretch. The spandex imparts the wonderful fit and
the easy movement. The fashion world has caught the trend
for strength denim; especially the female consumer due to
skinny jeans causing rave in this arena.
Ramie cotton denim is not all that popular with youngsters
because of the slightly higher prices in the markets.
Mechanical denim washes are also popular among the
worshippers of jeans to attain the "torn and dirty' look.
The denims include stone wash and micro standing. In the
stone washing process; newly dyed jeans are put in a
special washing machine which is filled with pumice stones
in order to achieve the desired soft hand, fashionable look.
The different jeans styles available make them all the more
appealing. The trend that has spread like wild fire with
people all over the world is skinny jeans. Trendy girls
love to wear skinny jeans combined with high heeled pump
shoes and love to flaunt their figures. Skinny jeans are
best avoided for plus sized women as they stick to your
body. Even skinny flares caught on recently when
Mrs.Beckham was seen sporting a pair.
Some of the most searched brands of jeans that fall into
the "premium" category are True Religion Jeans, Red Monkey
Jeans, and Guess Jeans.
