Why is it that no matter how many pairs of pants you have, or how many pairs of jeans, there is always one pair of denim jeans that you wear over and over.  That one pair of jeans that fit perfectly, hug your body, but are so worn in that they are soft and comfortable.

I know for me, that when I want to be my most comfortable, I always pull out the same denim blue jeans, day after day, evening after evening.

When my parents grew up, blue jeans were called dungarees, and were only worn as men's work clothes, but by the time I was a teenager, everyone was wearing blue jeans.  Denim became a fashion, and has never stopped since then.

During my high school years, bell bottom pants were in, and everyone I knew had at least one pair of bell bottom jeans.  The pants hugged the hips tightly, and had skinny legs until the bottom half of the calf when they went into the bell bottom.  It wasn't the smartest fashion.  I remember tripping over my pants many times, but they were cool. 

Today women's denim jeans are still sexy, and comfortable, but women have much more freedom in choosing styles that fit, and look great.  What is it exactly that makes the right pair of jeans look so sexy on a woman or a man.  They seem to be the all purpose pair of pants, durable, easily washed, yet sexy and fashionable.

Luxury jeans come in many colors besides blue, although blue is still the all time favorite color for denim.  There are some really knock out colors available like burgundy, black, and green that look really good in the right style.

And just like anything else, styles change all the time, which makes some hard to get denim jeans very pricey.  As styles become vintage, sellers can charge a premium to buyers that are looking for those particular styles, and jean year.

To me, one of the best features of denim is its washability and durability.  Because it was originally a fabric made for working in, it is a tough fabric that just gets softer and more comfortable with age.  That feature lends itself to vintage jeans staying in good condition, and looking good.

Do you live in your jeans?  Are they the mainstay of your wardrobe?  If you had the chance to redesign the way jeans were made what would you change?
