Denim. How do we love thee... let us count the ways.
Our closet would be a sad, sad sight if blue jeans didn't exist -- and we can imagine we're not the only ones.
That's why we'd like to thank one San Francisco businessman by the name of Levi Strauss today. Why? Because on this day in 1873 (yeah, we don't do math either), Strauss received a patent to create the casual work pants, which grew to become one of the most essential wardrobe pieces of all time.
So, thanks Levi, for making the idea of blue jeans possible and for making butts look good across the globe.
Can you imagine your wardrobe if it were denim-free?

Just sayin'
Who needs jeans when we can just wear a t-shirt?
