The name of modern trousers is a kind of straight crotch trousers made of indigo denim, with narrow legs and tight hips after shrinking. Because it first appeared in the western United States and was welcomed by local miners and cowboys, it got its name. At present, jeans are mostly made of denim (also known as denim). Two orange stitches were made along the seam edge, decorated with copper nails and bronze trademarks. The styling of jeans has now become a fixed pattern, which can be worn by both men and women.
The origin of jeans
Jeans, named "Jeans" in English, was first recorded in 1567, which is the name of the trousers worn by merchant sailors from the Italian port city of Genoa, that is, the "Genoese" gene. The famous name "Jeans" was officially adopted by Levi's Company from 65438+1960s. Before that, people called them "high-waist pants" and "Pantaloons".
The history of jeans
Speaking of jeans, people naturally think of 1849 gold rush in America. At that time, the first immigrants who set foot on the American mainland were poor and had to work hard. Strenuous labor makes clothes wear easily, especially in 1849, when miners flocked to California, which formed the famous gold rush at that time. Because cloth breaks easily, people are eager to have a durable dress. At this time, some factories use Genoa canvas to produce work pants, so they call that canvas Genoa canvas, which means "Genoese". Later, the trousers made of that canvas were simply called Genoese. Later it evolved into "jeans". So durable jeans came into being. Levi Strauss is recognized as the inventor of jeans. 1850, the 50 1 jeans produced by Levi's Company, which he founded, is the world-famous originator of jeans. In the mid-1930s, jeans, which were worn by almost everyone in the agricultural areas in the midwest of the United States, were first brought to the bustling cities east of the Mississippi River, and jeans began to enter the ranks of popular clothes.
During World War II, the American authorities designated jeans as uniforms of the American army, and a large number of jeans went deep into the hinterland of Europe with the allied forces. After the war, soldiers returned to the United States, and a large number of accumulated jeans were sold locally in limited quantities. These trousers are very popular in the local area because they are beautiful, practical, durable and cheap. As a result, local European overalls manufacturers are scrambling to imitate the original products of the United States, thus making jeans popular and popular throughout Europe. The film and television entertainment industry in Hollywood has played an important role in promoting the international fashion trend of jeans. In the famous movies during the 1950s, such as Rebellion for No Reason and Family Dream, the protagonists in the movies all wore comfortable and generous jeans. Under the influence of big-name stars who led the trend, jeans became the fashion symbol at that time.
In people's impression, the classic jeans should be like this: indigo blue, pure cotton twill, tight hip, low waist and short crotch design, slightly smaller trouser legs, buttons, stitching, patch pocket, nails and other decorations. However, the earliest jeans were not what we thought. Levi's, the originator of jeans, introduced 50 1 jeans, which can be said to be a classic of jeans. Let's review the evolution and development process of jeans from birth to classic:
1855- The earliest jeans had only one back pocket and no York.
1872—— It is the first time to reinforce the stressed parts of jeans with metal rivets.
1873- Jeans changed from gray to indigo. The back pocket is decorated with orange double arch stitches.
1886- changed the pattern of waist tag from dwarf to horse.
1890- plus a watch bag and a back York.
1905- With the second back pocket, jeans are fixed in the form of five pockets.
1922- Add a belt loop at the belt.
1937- The rivet in the back pocket is hidden inside.
194 1 year-the rivet on the lower part of the front placket of jeans was cancelled. During World War II, the bow of the back waist and the rivet of the watch pocket were removed, and the double arch seam of the back pocket was replaced by a printed similar pattern. A laurel leaf replaced the sign of "l. s&"; Company terms.
1947- Arched suture reappearance.
1950- In order to keep up with the fashion trend, the trouser legs were cut into thinner styles.
1955- Start production of 50 1 zipper jeans.
1959- Pre-shrunk jeans developed.
1966- Fix a short strip trace instead of a rivet at the corner of the back pocket.
197 1 year-the red sign was changed from "Levi's" to "Levi's".
1983- due to the improvement of loom technology, the width of the door is widened and the red hem disappears. In the 1990s, with the rapid development of science and technology, the technology of making jeans has been greatly improved, and with the accumulation of time, jeans have today's perfect structure.
The exact date of the birth of jeans is1May 20th, 873. On this day, the Patent and Trademark Office granted two immigrants, Levi Strauss and jakob davies, their work clothes patents. This kind of overalls is made of a kind of denim, which has been reinforced when sewing, and the trouser pockets and trousers doors are all made of brand-new copper buttons. The idea was put forward by Davis, a tailor in Nevada. Davis is a customer of Strauss. Strauss is the owner of a small department store. Strauss hopes to use this new trousers style to meet the requirements of gold miners, because gold miners often complain that their trousers can't hold gold particles inside.
Because this kind of trousers that can hold things is so popular, he has to apply for a patent for it soon, but to realize this dream, Davis still needs 62 dollars. Davis came to Strauss's house for help when he was in trouble. The shrewd businessman Levi Strauss gave him the money without saying a word. Because he knew in his heart, as Davis assured him, because of the huge economic potential of this new work clothes, the two of them would definitely make a lot of money. No matter how clever these two businessmen are, they didn't expect their future income to be so much. Not only that, with the passage of time, the clothes they designed were no longer the clothes worn by people who did rough work, but began to spread to other places, and finally people all over the world put them on. From shepherds, workers and students to wealthy entrepreneurs, athletes, artists and members of the royal family, they all wear this kind of clothing. It can be said that it has now become a symbol of the 20th century. Who would have thought that the patent fee of $62 would get such a high return? As Levi's website said, it wasn't that miners didn't wear pants made of coarse cloth before, but the latest one was that the first batch of jeans used metal buttons. This is the real jeans that people all over the world see today. However, the first batch of trousers that were firmly sewn and welcomed by workers were named "denim tight waist overalls" because they were really called "jeans" after 1960. At that time, the generation who went out to work especially liked to call it that. At present, no one knows when the first pair of "waist-tied denim overalls" was sewn and sold, because the company lost all its historical files in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. People can only be sure that it was a day in 1873. It was 130 years ago. Levi Strauss didn't live long enough for his company to try its best to recover from the earthquake. He died a few years before the earthquake. Davis didn't live to that time either. Many years ago, he sold some shares in the company. If we look at the history of the company, it is not difficult to find that the popular 50 1 model is the continuation of the first batch of jeans produced by 1873. Later, various styles of jeans appeared on the market, but none of them were as popular as this brand. With the passage of time, after the company's patent period expired, many companies appeared, which also produced pants made of this fabric. At present, tens of thousands of factories in the world produce this kind of work clothes, and more and more people wear them. Especially after movie stars and singers put them on many occasions, jeans seem to be everyone's uniform. It is no exaggeration to say: men, women and children wear it. Which family doesn't have many denim clothes in the closet? This shows its popularity.
Nowadays, jeans are constantly innovating, and washed jeans, patched jeans, raw jeans and various denim tops can be seen everywhere in the market and on the street. Cowboy clothing generally gives people a firm, rough and energetic feeling, which is suitable for work and leisure. Although cowboy culture has been popular in the United States and European countries for many years, today cowboy clothing is still a popular choice in other parts of the world. According to experts, with the development of economic globalization, the status of cowboy clothing in world trade will remain enduring.
Jeans show all kinds of female customs.
Jeans are a must for men and women from the upper class to the ordinary people. However, as far back as 100 years ago, jeans were not even the invention of countertops, but a symbol of the blue-collar working class. Looking back at the tanning along the way, they are not fuel-efficient lamps, they are undoubtedly the Dong Fangbubai of the clothing industry. Especially with the improvement of design and the research and development of materials, jeans can interpret all kinds of customs and make the ass.
Miss Sixty in Italy boasts of creating a "delicate curve" for women. Wichy Hassan, the designer and founder, has been rolling around in Daning since he started his business. His ideal state is to let jeans enter the elegant hall of the banquet. In any case, a beautiful woman will give up the designer brand and choose to walk down the red carpet of the stars in her tannins. A large number of lycra and splicing arcs are the most important materials, which really help tannins to show more perfect and beautiful curves. The hip-shaped round boat stands upright and the sexy index is greatly improved. The most popular styles are bell-bottoms and boots, while the low-waisted and ultra-low-waisted pants, which have been popular for many years, have a minimum front crotch of 5.5 inches and have a very good wearing effect.
Fornarina, another Italian women's clothing brand, is also famous for its visual effect of hip repair, with a lot of decorative details. Sometimes it is changed to the waist, sometimes it is decorated with iron rhinestones in the waist and hip pockets, or a long chain of hip-hop metal is added to show all kinds of gorgeous embellishments. In short, if you want to find a different pair of jeans, you should go to Fornarina!
In addition to easy-to-use small speakers and long trousers, the proportion of the two brands in medium and large bell-bottoms is not low. This kind of trousers fits the buttocks, but does not emphasize the trousers that fit the legs particularly. Paired with stiletto heels, it has the effect of long legs and long legs. Miss Sixty also introduced straight pants that fit and are loose. The former can be stuffed into boots of various heights, rolled a few times, and paired with colored socks and high heels, which is also a fresh level appeal of the season. The wide version of straight pants is even more amazing in length, intentionally folded into a big roll, and it is also a handsome and feminine temperament.
Chao Liuxing hemmed jeans
Since Spice Girl Victoria and many Hollywood stars put on high jeans with hem, the hemming trend of jeans has been greatly promoted. In summer and autumn, this way of dressing can last for a long time.
Fold the legs of straight jeans, and the pants will become cropped pants suitable for summer and autumn. This can expose the calf and ankle, which is very clear and refreshing. Many jeans on the market are specially designed for wrapping, and some add silver money to the bottom of the jeans fabric, and after the trouser legs are pleated, a little silver light is exposed; Some add color to the seams of trousers, which will appear after pleating; Some also have rhinestones embedded in the hem, which is particularly thoughtful. Even ordinary jeans, as long as they are straight and elastic, can be converted into drum jeans, as long as they are folded at the hem.
Pleated jeans are casual enough, but they must be paired with refreshing high-heeled open-toed sandals to look good. After the trouser legs are folded, the visual focus falls on the sandals. You may wish to choose some shiny and sexy sandals, such as the thin belt style, which can make your feet look slimmer, and the gold and silver sandals add a little luxury. High-heeled slippers are also an option, which is more casual than sandals.

The typical collocation is a small suit with white sleeves and a small vest, which is not rude to go to work. It also looks good with a mid-sleeve knit pullover, knit cardigan, V-neck tight T-shirt, tube top vest or POLO shirt. A more wonderful dress is to make shoes echo some colors of handbags or tops, and use jeans as a transition, so that the overall feeling of dressing is much stronger.
