Denim itself may never go out of style, but some particular styles of jeans most definitely do.
So now that we’ve accepted the fact that denim will never go out of fashion. We’re just here to see how denim has evolved since it first came in to fashion. When it comes to denim styling ideas, there’s nothing like looking back to look forward. Here we go…
1920s + 1930s: Dungarees & Working Jeans

1950s: The Classic Blue Jean
1960s: Double Denim

Late 1960s: Bell Bottoms
1970s: Tight Dark Washes
In 1979, Madonna wore a black pair of jeans. The move away from blue was oh-so edgy!
1980s: Distressed, Ripped, Bleached and Acid Washed
1987 – Cher in acid wash jeans. What could be more 1987 than that?
1990s: Overalls
Early 2000s: Embroidery and Rhinestones
Okay, so there’s nothing wrong with a little bedazzling; it can be cute in small doses! But this era might have taken it TOO FAR. Fast forward to 2018 and we see this bling making a comeback on our denims.
