Every day I see countless people wearing jeans. Men, women and kids of all ages sporting jeans in all sorts of ways, all over the world, at any hour of the day. Jeans have got to be the most worn item in the world, and one of the largest money spinners in the fashion industry by sheer production volume alone.

So what would happen if we suddenly lived in a world without jeans? Total chaos! Half the population wouldn’t know what to wear. People would need to think much harder when picking an outfit in the morning. Shopping would be harder because stylish casual pants are hard to find. At least women could fall back on non-denim dresses and skirts. Blokes would have a much harder time of it.

As much as I love wearing jeans and enjoy sporting them regularly, every year I wear them less frequently than the year before. It’s quite liberating actually and definitely part of my style evolution. There is fashion and style life beyond jeans if you force yourself to choose other options. Could you live in a world without jeans?
