Fashion is an extremely capricious lady. As soon as we get used to new trends, everything changes immediately and it is necessary to update the wardrobe again. To look stylish, girls around the world do not resort to anything! And it always has been! Remember: our grandmothers and mothers redrawn, cut, repainted, sewed ... A new image was created in a matter of nights.
Fortunately, there are things that will never go out of fashion, and if you don’t know what to wear, they will certainly come to the rescue. So, in the wardrobe of every girl there should be a legendary little black dress, a classic three-piece suit, a white blouse, chino pants, as well as jeans, but only necessarily high-quality. Fashionable magpies chasing Swarovski and Tiffany, and connoisseurs of real quality sleep and see jeans named after Levi Strauss.
In the seventies of the last century, denim products flooded our markets thanks to the underground and speculators. Before that, for our compatriots, blue trousers were a cherished dream. Now many designers are fighting to ensure that jeans are worn absolutely everything regardless of social status, gender, age, occupation.
Denim is what?
The area in which the French planters used to pick cotton was called Nimes. And the resulting fabric is denim. She would have remained in the shade and would have walked on the coarse trousers of the workers ... If not for the American entrepreneurs who had enriched themselves during the gold rush, Levy Strauss and Jacob Davis. Workers had to work in leather trousers - clothes that were not very comfortable in terms of care. But Levi's jeans were incredibly comfortable: they did not hold back movements, had pockets that came in handy, and a harness for a hammer.
Farmers also admired these clothes. The threads were very strong, so much so that a well-known experience appeared: two horses pull a pair of jeans. Navy blue pants, however, quickly became popular with American fashionistas. And the interesting property of the dye to blur and leave stains was taken only with a bang, because it allowed to be, so to speak, in a trend and stand out. Since then, the descendants of Strauss put on the assembly line the production of comfortable and stylish clothes.
Fabric properties
For many of us, denim and jeans are identical. But actually it is not. Denim is gossip of blue threads interwoven with white: the wrong side is white, and the front part is blue.
Denim is what? Natural cotton. Moreover, this cotton comes from two main areas. One comes from the United States. The second is from the distant African country of Zimbabwe. It would seem that the material is the same, but the properties, as well as the price, are different. American denim is characterized by density and strength, as well as stiffness, because it may seem uncomfortable when worn, it will rub and crash into the skin. Such jeans, shirts, vests have a characteristic color, because the thread is thicker and tougher, so it is harder to dye. Things will cost more, but also worn longer.
And African denim is what? It is recognized for its softness and beautiful bright color. Very comfortable to the touch, it is also relatively cheap. There is a minus: it is not so durable and is wiped with frequent wear.
Fabric care
Denim is pretty finicky. In addition, some models are very cool painted. By the way, this is a sign of a very high-quality thing: indigo jeans should be painted. Therefore, one of the main rules must always be observed: jeans should be washed separately from other things, unless, of course, you want to experiment with the colors in your wardrobe.
Another point: everyone knows that jeans have an undesirable property to sit down. Therefore, it is necessary to control the washing process. Manual will work best. Although you can trust the washing machine with the appropriate mode. Use only quality powders and other products. And be sure to adhere to the rules written on the product label if you do not want to take away the brand treasure to live out your life in the country.
All faced with such a problem as the untidy bottom of the leg. To avoid this, choose the correct length and shoes, wear a belt. But, of course, care for jeans made from raw denim will bring you particular trouble (the names are different in different sources, the principle is the same everywhere). Raw denim is what? This fabric, taken directly from the machine, has never been erased and not processed in any way. Very few things are made from such material, and indeed they are very expensive. It is possible to wash such denim only after a year of socks, so you need to monitor the clothes very carefully.
Japanese fabric is a legend
There are two types of fabric: American and Japanese. American is used all over the world, but Japanese denim has taken root only in its homeland. He is insanely expensive, but insanely pleasant. You will appreciate such a pair of trousers, a shirt, a jacket. These jeans are for true style fans. Having them is a luxury. What is the secret to the popularity of Japanese denim? It's simple: it is produced on vintage machines of the old type. This exclusive!
Denim - clothing style
As they say, not single jeans. Denim is not just a material that is used to sew favorite jeans by everyone. There is also a style - denim. Its basis is, of course, denim. First of all, get high-quality classic denim trousers: they can be easily combined with tops, and shirts, and with a variety of T-shirts, with sneakers and with boats, with boots and sandals.
Another popular item is the jacket. It should be short and bright. It fits perfectly under a dress and pants, especially in the off-season. Shirts should be slightly loose. With their help, you can create a relaxed and concise image. Think about what will be worn under it - this thing must necessarily look out.
Shorts - this is a difficult element of the wardrobe. Choose either oversized things, or with fringe or lapels. Do not overdo it with short shorts - such, as a rule, are necessary for performing on stage, but it is obscene to appear in society in them. Combine with T-shirts and all kinds of tops in the summer, and in the fall, try to wear with tight tights and warm shirts or sweaters.
Dresses should be imposing and relaxed, but below the knee. Vests are things that are indispensable in the summer. They will suit any image: from romantic to explosive and biker. Remember the variety of colors, textures and prints, then you will create your own image, and denim will become your favorite style.
Where to go in such things
Denim is something incredible, it is universal! Put on a cotton shirt and jeans for a picnic; light dress with a vest - for a date; shorts - for a summer walk in a cafe or a trip to the beach. Denim is not just fabric. We create it. Denim is something special: a true legend, a classic, and modernity.
