denim jeans
Casual cotton pants
Denim jeans are pants made from denim, a sturdy cotton twill fabric traditionally dyed indigo blue.
Originally workwear for laborers and cowboys, jeans became casual everyday clothing in the mid-twentieth century.
The word jeans alone usually means denim jeans: I need a new pair of jeans.
Designer jeans, ripped jeans, and various cuts—skinny, bootcut, relaxed—reflect fashion's endless variations on the basic form.
