　　In 1964, a writer for the magazine American Fabrics said, "Denim has become a symbol of the young, active, informal, American way of life." In many respects these words are still true more than forty years later. Nowadays, active and informal young people all over the world wear denim jeans, and they are popular with older people who want to feel young too. In the UK for example, a recent survey found that 6 out of 10 men and 46% of women regularly wear jeans, but it is with young people that they continue to be most fashionable. Jeans are the first choice for 72% of those in the 15-19 age group, whereas less than half of the teenagers in the UK wear other types of casual trousers. Denim jeans are a symbol of the global teenager and it seems likely that they will remain part of international youth culture for many years to come.
