I recently bought myself a chic denim jumpsuit and wondered where and when did the first copy of this wardrobe item appear? Let's figure it out!

It turns out that the first overalls appeared in the Middle Ages. These clothes were mainly worn by clowns, jesters, magicians and alchemists. Such costumes protected their owner from injury while performing tricks.
In the 13th century, only rich people ordered overalls and only for their children. The poor population could not afford this item of clothing. Not fair, right?
The next surge in fashion for overalls occurred in the 19th century - during the gold rush in America. Industrial entrepreneur Levi Strauss creates a durable, reliable and hard-feeling suit for workers in the gold mining industry. So the quality of such overalls was extremely low, but you didn’t mind getting them dirty. Thoughtful and intelligent Levi Strauss began more intensive production of this piece of work clothing in the 70s. Denim was chosen as the material for the robe - it is not only practical to wear, but also pleasant to the body.
This item of clothing is quickly becoming popular among farmers and workers due to its comfortable cut and many pockets. The first overalls were made and used in the United States.

During the First World War, these clothes became part of the women's wardrobe. At that time, all men were en masse called up to the front, and the weaker sex had to stand at the machine and work for the good of their country. Also, this industrial suit became the favorite clothing of pilots and was an element of their equipment for many years.
With the development of scientific and technological progress, changes occur in all spheres of human life. “Evolution” didn’t even pass by the overalls. For several decades, developers puzzled over the material of the suit and decided to settle on latex. Due to the fact that such clothing was most often used in chemical plants, elastic and ventilated latex was ideal.
And here comes the culmination! The explosion in the fashion industry occurred in the 60-70s of the last century. Designers began to show their models in overalls on the catwalk. Pierre Cardin, Yves-Saint Laurent, brothers Gerard and Patrick Paryant made more and more combinations that were worn with pleasure by both men and women.

Probably the most common and varied are the women's versions, which differ not only in the composition of the material, but also in the cut.
Men's models are most often used by young people, as they are made mainly of denim. Such products are most often decorated with rivets, zippers, pockets and other stylish accessories made in the same style.
Children's overalls are generally a separate form of art for today's designers.They are made from high-quality materials, they are easy to care for, they are bright and stylish.

And let’s finish the story about special overalls for work. They are made from very durable and wear-resistant materials. Such clothing is intended for builders, electricians, mechanics, chemists and representatives of many other professions.
So I don’t know about you, but I found out for myself where such a wonderful and comfortable thing as a jumpsuit comes from. With all the variety of modern models, each person will be able to choose what is right for him for work or leisure.
