Fashion classics, first one that comes to mind is of course a nice, reliable, good ol' pair of jeans. I hate wearing jeans, I hate buying jeans, I hate sitting down in jeans, I hate bending over in jeans, I hate just about everything about jeans. But when I found this one pair, light wash, boyfriend fit(they're my dad's old jeans, you've probably seen them in a couple of my OOTDs), then I distressed them to how I wanted because sometimes stores go overboard or do a weird arrangement of tears, but I got them to how I wanted them to look and now they are actual heaven. So comfy, so great, so soft, they look good on me and I love them.
Now jeans weren't popular for the common person when they were first made. They were originally designed during the Gold Rush in the 1850's(thanks 4th grade history) after they discovered a use for the indigo plant dye, and used it to stain the jeans for the minors and workers who came to California looking for gold. Then from there, they were mainly used for the working class, especially for manual/physical workers. Not until the 1950's were they finally worn as a fashion statement for teen rebellion. Guys, jeans were considered rebellious in the '50's. But after their rebellious phase, they became practical wear for everyone in the 1960's and since then, have always been in fashion, just with little variations from bell bottoms to acid wash.
