Denim clothing is always good to have in the wardrobe. With denim you can emphasize different styles, denim is indestructible and denim is timeless. Granted that certain denim clothing is occasionally “not done”, new designs regularly come into the picture. Except for jeans, almost every item of clothing is available in denim.

Where is the basis of denim clothing?

In the United States, at some point (2nd half of the 19th century) people needed sturdy material for clothing. It was mainly the gold diggers who needed trousers that could take a beating. Levi Strauss who moved to the US in 1847 was one of these trouser makers and he initially made them from sailcloth. When there is no more sailcloth available, he uses another strong material, namely the cotton type Serge de Nimes. Later this became the Denim, which is still well known today, or the denim fabric that we still wear today.To make weak points in materials (for example bags or other mounted pieces) even stronger, a certain model of rivet was used by Jacob Davis and a patent was applied for in 1873. The most successful garment of all time was born. By the way, it wasn’t until the middle of the last century that jeans became really successful in other parts of the world.

Every item of clothing in denim

Pair of trousers

We know jeans in all shapes, sizes and models, they are immensely popular and they are wonderful to wear. That’s probably why jeans will always remain in everyone’s wardrobe. Another reason for the popularity is that the jeans can emphasize different styles. Informal with a sweater and slightly dressier with a blouse and jacket. Nice and cool with a short leather jacket and lovely with a wide embroidered blouse.The short jeans are also possible. Nice for the summer on a nice blouse or shirt. For men, depending on the fashion trend, they usually wear a piece of trouser leg, but for women the short jeans are usually high cut. Since many women find their thighs too thick, not all women will wear short jeans.The worn-out long jeans can still serve a short version for a while. Cut off and either leave the frayed edges hanging or add a small hem .

Jacket

The denim jacket is also a piece of clothing that hangs in almost anything’s wardrobe. The short jackets that are worn with tight pants or skirt or with a nice dress. But if it’s a little too chilly for just a blouse, a denim jacket without sleeves is a great addition. In this context, the waistcoat is also sometimes worn in denim. It gives just a little more warmth to the body and, if fitted well, can nicely emphasize the waist.The long denim jacket is less popular and appears every now and then as a fashion item. Long and fitted with a large belt or without a belt, but well fitted.

Blouse

The denim blouse is also largely subject to fashion, but if the denim blouse is allowed again, we will go all out. Tightly fitted models, oversized and nice and long (can possibly be worn with a top), short sleeves, long sleeves or even without sleeves. But sometimes also equipped with a hood and everything in all washes.

Skirt

The skirt that reaches just above, on or over the knee is always possible. Sometimes in the form of a button and sometimes with a zipper in the front (as if it were pants), but you also often see the skirt in stretch form. Can also be combined with everything from a cool sweater to a chic jacket.The longer skirt, just like the long coat, is more subject to fashion moments. Because the long skirt (up to ankle length) is usually fitted, it is not always an easy-to-use garment. The only place where the long denim skirt continues to do well is in the cowboy’s own world, but there they practically breathe denim.

Finally

You can go in any direction with denim and because there are all kinds of washes, you can come up with so many options in terms of color, design and flexibility that you will definitely never see denim disappear from your wardrobe. It goes without saying that in addition to the beautiful design, the strength of the fabric is still experienced as very pleasant. No different than the gold diggers in the US.
