The word jeans comes from a kind of
material that was made in Europe. The
material , called jean, was named after
sailors from Genoa in Italy, because they
worn clothes made from it. In the 18th century
jean cloth was made completely from cotton
and workers at that time loved wearing it
because the material was very strong and it
did not wear out easily. In the 1960s, many
university and college students wore jeans.
Designers made different styles of jeans to
match the 1960s’ fashion:embroidered jeans, painted jeans and so on. In the 1970s
more and more people started wearing jeans because they became cheaper. In the
1980s jeans finally became high fashion clothing, when famous designers started
making their own styles of jeans, with their own labels on them. Sales of jeans went
up and up. But in the 1990s the worldwide economic situation got worse, and the sale
of jeans stopped growing. However, jeans have never been out of fashion, and
