Blue Jeans Day is celebrated annually on December 5th every year! This holiday is celebrated by wearing blue jeans all day long and honoring the great people who designed the denim material and all the blue jean styles from the past as well as the styles of today.
How did Jeans come into use ? Jeans was a blue twilled cotton cloth milled in Geneo, Italy. The French weavers called the town “Genes” – and that’s how we got the word “jeans”. Blue jeans were invented by Levi Strauss during the Gold Rush of the 1850s. Selling canvas to the miners, he started stitching it into pants. In the 1860s, he replaced the canvas with denim. Worn as work pants for years, they became fashionable in 1935 when a model wore then in Vogue magazine.
