Denim clothes - fashion foundation

What is it with denim? Ever since it was first introduced it has been worn by nearly everyone ever since.

Denim jeans, jackets, hats, skirts, dresses, shirts, bags, leggings (jeggings). You can even get a result if you put the term denim wedding dress into a search engine.

What I'd like to know, though, is: what is the strangest denim clothing you have ever owned?

I remember when I was about 7 and my gran worked in a clothes factory and used to bring stuff back for us (possibly at heavy discount from the quality control bin, but I don't know for sure). And one time we got these green workwear style jeans - you know the kind of jeans that have weird angular pockets for hammers, saws, etc? Well, that's the ones. They were actually a very good pair of jeans apart from the colour, although the only saws and hammers I owned at the time were plastic Fisher Price ones.

Jeans world!

Denim's been around since the 1800s - who'd have thunk it would stick around, in fashion, all this time?

Some go for your real-deal cowboy western jeans, some go for high-end fashionista jeans, and some go for inexpensive yet cool denims, as seen on this excellent blog called Uptown Denim.

With so many types and styles of jeans going around, it's difficult to keep up with all the stuff that's available. Just as well there's the internet - checking out all the stuff available by physically going round all the retailers would be one heck of a trek!

<-- We like these workwear style jeans, just the thing for the summer round of barbecues and general fun!




Of course, with the brilliant amount of choice around at the moment, style-wise you'll have your own favourite type of jeans. Let us know in the comments which jeans-type you are. Or if you're into multiole styles, just send us a list of them...
