Sweep through is a common term to use when describing the weather. The jeans at work trend swept through the workplace pretty quickly. At my job, which is with a pretty conservative firm, you can wear jeans any time you like-as long as you’re not going to an important meeting. Then, companies on the west coast, in places like LA or San Francisco or Seattle, said people could wear jeans-but most of the rest of us couldn’t wear jeans to work.īut now that’s all changed. Even just a few years ago, most offices here would let you wear jeans only on Fridays or holidays. The trend of wearing jeans to work is sweeping through the workplace in the United States. Let’s see if we can think of another trend that’s sweeping through the United States. The trend is moving quickly across America-teenagers all around the country are now following this trend, so the trend is sweeping through schools. I said the latest trend sweeping through America’s schools is Juul. Let’s start with the metaphorical way, which is how I used it at the very beginning of today’s episode.
