The word jeans comes from a kind of material that was made in Europe. The material, called jean, was named after sailors from Genoa in Italy, because they wore clothes made from it. In the 18th century jean cloth was made completely from cotton and workers at that time loved wearing it because the material was very strong and it did not wear out easily. In the 1960s, many university and college students wore jeans. Designers made different styles of jeans to match the 1960s’ fashions: embroidered jeans, painted jeans and so on. In the 1970s more and more people started wearing jeans because they became cheaper. In the 1980s jeans finally became high fashion clothing, when famous designers started making their own styles of jeans, with their own labels on them. Sales of jeans went up and up. But in the 1990s the worldwide economic situation got worse, and the sale of jeans stopped growing. However, jeans have never been out of fashion, and today- young generation is still fond of wearine them.
Dịch bài:
Từ “quần jeans” phát xuất từ một loại chất liệu được sản xuất ở Châu Âu. Chất liệu gọi là jeans được đặt theo tên của những thủy thủ từ Genoa ở Ý vì họ mặc những trang phục làm từ đó. Vào thế kỷ 18, đồ jeans hoàn toàn được làm từ vải bông và vào thời điểm đó, công nhân thích mặc nó vì chất liệu đó dày và không dễ bị rách. Trong những năm 1960, nhiều sinh viên đại học và cao đẳng đã mặc đồ jeans. Các nhà thiết kế đã tạo ra nhiều mốt đồ jeans khác nhau cho phù hợp với thời trang những năm 1960: jeans thêu, jeans vẽ . . . Vào những năm 1970, ngày càng nhiều người mặc đồ jeans vì chúng đã trở nên rẻ hơn. Trong những năm 1980, jeans cuối cùng trở thành quần áo thời trang cao cấp, khi những nhà thiết kế nổi tiếng bắt đầu tạo nên phong cách riêng của mình cho đồ jeans, với nhãn hiệu của chính mình trên đó. Việc buôn bán đồ jeans ngày càng tăng vọt. Nhưng vào những năm 1990, tình hình kinh tế toàn cầu trở nên xấu đi, và việc buôn bán đồ jeans đã ngừng phát triển. Tuy nhiên jeans không bao giờ lỗi thời, và ngày nay thế hệ trẻ vẫn còn rất thích mặc chúng.
