Jeans started as rugged workwear in the 1800s, worn by miners and cowboys for durability. By the 1950s, they became a symbol of rebellion, thanks to icons like James Dean and Marlon Brando, leading schools and restaurants to ban them for being too defiant.
Over time, fashion embraced denim, and by the 1970s and 80s, jeans became a mainstream staple. From baggy to skinny fits, they evolved with every trend—going from outlawed attire to a must-have in every wardrobe!
