Jeans became wildly popular in the 1950's mostly by young adults and the newly termed "teenagers" of that time. It became more fashionable to wear out and not just while working in the yard or something. Over the years jeans have taken on many forms. The cut, leg size, higher and lower waist, etc. Currently I think the most popular style has to be a dark wash and the skinny leg fit. Although this look may not be flattering on all body types, it is the hottest trend today and honestly, I don't see that changing anytime soon. The fact that leggings are now very popular again and the two have formed creating "jeggings" (jean leggings), goes to show the trend is only evolving. I think that because skinny jeans are very restricting on some people, the jeggings are a nice, more comfortable alternative.

The Skinny Jeans of the Present
As for the future, well I think that the overall style of jeans will stay the same as far as the current trend of stretch in jeans and what not. What may change is the embellishments. I see an increase in different embellishments on jeans for the future. The fact that "do-it-yourself" jean projects are popular again may bring a new look for jeans all together. So, all you jean lovers, let your creativity run free!!
