CLASSIC WORKWEAR STYLE

Originally designed for those working as miners, cowboys and railway workers way out west by Levi Strauss, denim jeans and jackets were a go-to workwear staple in the late 19th century. Changing little over the subsequent century, apart from cut and fit, many brands still create denim pieces that retain the fabrics traditional workwear sensibility.

GRUNGE REVIVAL DENIM

While denim has been a symbol of countercultural movements throughout the second half of the 20th century, the ‘90s saw denim return once again, connecting grunge aesthetics with washed denim, baggy fits and faded patinas. Forever connected to musical subcultures, denim remains as popular as ever for its stylistic impact.
