Something that came to me earlier today.
How common, let alone popular, is denim clothing outside of the US?
I understand that it's popular in Latin America and Japan, but that's about it.

I remember in the 90s, the common thinking was if you were traveling overseas, you would fill your suitcase with Levis jeans and trade them for any clothing you wanted. |

In Scandinavia, it sort of depends whether you just mean jeans or if you're including jackets as well.
Denim jackets were popular in the 80s and 90s, but you don't see a lot of people wearing them anymore. Jeans are still widely used by pretty much all age groups, although there's been a tendency lately for young women especially to go for thinner, more stretchy fabrics. I don't mean spandex or something like that. Just fabrics that are lighter than classic denim. Some of them are still made to look like denim, though.
May I ask why you're interested in knowing this...?

Here, it’s everything from clothes to computers to even cars. But to be honest, I haven’t seen any ads so far this year for denim. Not that I’ve been looking.
