Over the years blue jeans have become quintessentially American. They’re the fashion embodiment of our pioneer spirit—reinvented in every imaginable way: low-rise, high-waisted, boot cut, flared, bell bottom, skinny, straight, button-fly, pegged, acid-washed, distressed, dark rinse, neon bright, and floral print to name just a few. No matter what the style, it’s clear we can’t get enough of them. Except, of course, the dreaded “mom jean.” (We forgive you Jessica Simpson and still remember how hot you looked in your Daisy Dukes).
