Growing up with films set in Europe it’s not a stretch to say my style is very Euro-Forward. Don’t get me wrong i’m as American as apple pie and gunpowder but, I must concede that it’s European counterparts who have the best style. All that to say for my outfit to the office I went with an all black look with my Scottish Tweed coat reminiscent of a London style.

It’s a recognition of the jeans’ rich legacy of being both practical and stylish. Initially designed for tough outdoor jobs, their lasting quality and comfort soon turned them into a symbol of rebellion and, later, a fashion essential. Today, jeans hold a unique spot in fashion—they’re loved by everyone, regardless of age or style preference. This day reminds us of jeans’ unique role in fashion and culture. Their adaptability allows them to blend with any wardrobe, earning them a permanent spot in fashion. It’s not just about wearing jeans; it’s about celebrating their journey from workwear to runway​. 👖History of National Blue Jeans Day👖 National Blue Jeans Day marks a significant occasion for denim lovers everywhere. The history of this day is closely tied to the very origins of blue jeans themselves, which date back to May 20, 1873, when Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss received a patent for adding metal rivets to men’s work pants. This innovation significantly enhanced the durability of these pants, paving the way for what we now recognize as blue jeans. Over the years, blue jeans have become an integral part of fashion and culture, evolving from practical workwear to a symbol of style and rebellion against the norm. Cultural icons like Marlon Brando and James Dean popularized them as casual wear in the 1950s and 1960s and have since become a wardrobe staple across the globe. Their appeal lies in their versatility, durability, and comfort, making them suitable for all ages and occasions. National Blue Jeans Day was established in the late 1990s by a company called Cotton Incorporated, to celebrate this iconic piece of clothing. The day encourages people to wear their favorite jeans, reflect on the impact of denim in fashion and culture, and recognize the timeless nature of jeans as a fashion statement.

Admittedly, California doesn’t get “cold weather” like my fellow counterparts to the South, East and Middle states but, when it’s crests below 60° I begin to reach for the coats. Like I said in our call yesterday many of my clothing items come from second hand places, Ebay, Poshmark, Goodwill, Etc. Ironically this Camel coat, which i’ve now worn for the first time was purchased during a heatwave!
