7 for All Mankind

Forever in Blue Jeans, Babe

They started off as workwear for coal miners, but like leather jackets and Dr Martens boots, Levi's jeans were hijacked by young rebels in the 1960s and transformed into fashion icons.

As they sold in their millions, jeans have become a garment that is accessible to everyone despite class, race, gender and age..

Many leading fashion designers such as Ralph Lauren, Armani and Versace, have incorporated a casual jeans range with their more formal wear. Celebrities like Britney Spears, Claudia Schiffer, Gwyneth Paltrow and Sarah Jessica Parker have been pictured wearing slim-cut styles from their favourite brands such as 7 For All Mankind, Earl Jeans and Miss Sixty.....

...Slim-cut jeans are still the style that most stars will want to be seen in, so check out 7 For All Mankind or Joe's Jeans...

Karol Solomons, womenswear buyer at London boutique Harpers, reveals that its best-selling jean is the pink A-pocket Niagara Wash, £145, by 7 For All Mankind. .

"These have been flying off the shelves since we brought them in," she says. .

"The style means that it fits curves well and flares just a little after the knee to make legs look skinnier and hip and bum smaller." .

"The ones by 7 For All Mankind have been very popular, because I think they are easy to wear," she says. .

"You can wear them easily with a black jacket in the evening for a smart look, and they can often pass for work trousers." .

"Whether belted, buttoned or bomber, a denim coat is just so now," she says..
