What are "jeans"?

Jeans are a type of pants made from denim or dungaree cloth, which is a sturdy cotton twill fabric. Originally designed as workwear, jeans have become a popular fashion item that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. They typically feature a zippered or buttoned fly, belt loops, and pockets. Jeans come in a variety of cuts, including skinny, straight-leg, bootcut, and flare, and they can be distressed or embellished with embroidery, studs, or patches. Their versatility and durability have made them a wardrobe staple for people of all ages and genders.
