Current trends in design, from clothing to interiors, are tending towards minimalism, androgyny and eco-conscious goals. But there is a rebel in the design world – a trend that refuses to go down without a fight. And amongst the homes of high fashion and global catwalks worldwide, we can still see the attitude and influence of rock and roll fashion.

Jeans are the staple of every women’s wardrobe. They are practical, durable, and versatile, but they can be fashionable as well. You can dress them up with a blazer for work or wear them with a hoodie for an impromptu tip out to the grocery store; you can add high heels and a silk blouse for evening or a turtleneck and sweater for going strolling around town. Whether you go to the mall or shop online, you can find jeans for every personal style and occasion.

In previous decades, the fashion trends were visible and apparent. The 1940s featured soft looks that were classic and feminine. The 1950s saw saddle shoes, tight waists and full skirts. The miniskirt and mismatched prints dominated the 1960s while the 70s were filled with bell bottoms and platform shoes. The 80s had skinny jeans and big hair while the 90s were casual and androgynous. Today, the trends are much harder to identify the current “look” is a mash-up of former decades. For those who love the fashion of bygone eras, it is easy to replicate the old styles with a modern twist.

From the original Levi jeans in 1873, jeans are now available in a dazzling array of choices. Different fits, cuts and denim washes mean that choosing a pair of traditional blue jeans can be quite a minefield, especially if you are buying jeans online.
