Denim jeans have come a long way since their origins as a kind of durable workaday item for miners and farm hands. Today, jeans are an ubiquitous part of any man's wardrobe and come in a variety of stylish designs. Whether it is the standard-issue bootcut or the current fashion for skinny fit jeans, the adaptability of denim means that designers have been able to create a huge array of iconic fashions for mens jeans down the years (think of the drainpipe or the flare).
Today's jeans styles play up to the rough, working origins of denim wear. Relaxed fits are enlivened by making details like stitching and studding part of the design rather than just functional elements. Firetrap jeans for example play to the working heritage of denim and have a tough, urban look while Voi Jeans include graphic design elements in an innovative way to create a fresh, modern look.
