It may never cross your mind, but there is another reason why jeans are essential for Filipinos. Considering the tropical weather, it's natural for Filipinos to be contingent on their dependable jeans, whether they seize the day under the heat of the sun or to get cozy yet stay in style on a rainy day.

Furthermore, jeans is culturally embedded in the Filipino lifestyle, according to Obee Ham, the Business Development Head for Retail Dynamics, Inc., the group behind the Manila revival of Girbaud.

“The Philippines is a very casual country. It's innate for Filipinos to wear jeans because our weekends are spent just wearing jeans, and for some, even in corporate attire.

"You can do a lot with it,” Ham told GMANetwork.com in an interview during Marithe Francois Girbaud's press launch last November 23 at Top of the Alpha in AlphaLand, Makati.

Jeans has definitely stood the test of time. It's a fashion article that everyone shares, and thus became a timeless trend that will forever stay in the hearts and permanently reside in the closets of Filipinos.
