Okay, so last week I talked about what shirts are popular right now, today I am going to talk about what JEANS are “in”. It'll be surprising to see what jeans came from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s; just like the shirts I introduced last week.
The first type of jean I will be talking about is the “skinny”. When I went to google to find some information about these jeans, I was surprised on what I found. The skinny’s originated from the 50’s! Guess who strutted them first, Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe! There were a few others but these were people who surprised me. The skinny jean use to be called the “drainpipe” jean. People who wore them back then were thought to be rebels or punks. The same idea is thought to be true today. What people do not realize is the jean is becoming popular for all types of styles. A lot of women are wearing this type of jean today to show off what their momma gave them. (: I personally do not like the jean on myself. The only time I wear them is when I wear my boots. They make it easier to slip my boots on and off. The jean looks great with just about any shoe though. Wedge heel, flats, converse, flip-flop, moccasins.
The next type of jean is the FLARE. This is my absolutely favorite jean of all time. This jean was first worn in the 60’s! It was known as the “bell bottom” jean. The flare jean has changed a little since its bell bottom days but it still has the same concept; it gives a curvy look. I don’t have much of a curve so that is why I like to where them. These jeans too, look good with any type of shoe.
Thirdly is the bootcut or “straight leg”. Some might think that they are the same as skinny jeans but they are not. They are a mix between skinny and the flare jean. This is for people who do not like a lot of flare or think the skinny jean is too tight at the ankle. The boot cut jean was invented in the 50’s! That is the oldest jean so far. Back then it was probably the easiest way the make jeans. The boot cut get’s its name “straight-leg” because of exactly how it sounds. The leg of the jean is completely straight all the way down. Most men wear this style of jean.

Also, the font is small enough that the side bar is actually larger than the main event (your blog)- which is distracting. Please make this font bigger and/or increase the area for the blog entry because otherwise it feels SUPER long because the reader needs to scroll down so much.
