Movie stars wore jeans in their films. Teenagers everywhere loved them. Some schools banned（禁止）jeans because of their "rebel"（叛逆）image. But casual clothing, including jeans, became popular for more and more occasions. Eventually, jeans were so common that it became okay for anyone to wear them. You can even find pictures of the president wearing jeans.Today, all kinds of people around the world wear jeans. People wear them everywhere.
