How Have Jeans Stayed So Popular Through the Years?
The iconic blue denim trousers known as jeans are found all over the world in a variety of cuts and styles. Jeans have been in demand since the mid 1800s, when they were first released onto the market. Their sales exploded in 1873, when rivets were introduced to jeans, making them much sturdier. Hundreds of companies today make jeans ranging in style and price, and the popularity of jeans seems unlikely to wane, although various styles may fall in and out of fashion. This is probably because jeans are versatile, sturdy, and culturally symbolic.
