Hey everyone! I was just wondering if anyone could help me out with something. I'm in a bit of a debate with my friend about what exactly we should be calling items of clothing that are made from the blue fabric. Are they called jeans or denim? I always thought of them as jeans, but my friend is convinced that denim is the proper term. It's a bit confusing! Can anyone help clarify this for us? Thanks in advance!

Hi there! In my opinion, both terms are technically correct, but they refer to slightly different things. "Denim" is the fabric that jeans are made from, whereas "jeans" specifically refers to the style of pants. So, if you're talking about the material, it's correct to say "denim," but if you're talking about the clothing item, "jeans" is the way to go. As someone who works in the fashion industry, I often hear both terms used interchangeably. However, when I'm specifically referring to a pair of pants, I always say "jeans." I hope that helps!
