Do you wear jeans ?

Post Reply New Topic

Do you ever wear jeans (defined as , um , having those outside pockets on the back , not whther they're made of denim . I guess .) ?
There are so many kinds of jeans made now .
Myself , with my poverty and having very few clothes ~ I am " 100% " , as I just have , as I say below , 2 long bluejeans (Some " proper " media outlets like The New Yorker , by the way , still spell the phrase as one word , not two - " bluejeans " - when the term comes up . That an older spelling of it ?) .
It is funny , when I was young , like 10-12?? I found them too scratchy , and tried to stay away from them .
Then , when I was a teenager I found " EVERYBODY " wearing them a bit much ~ The phrase " sheep " came to mind , this is about 1975 ? ~ I remember an outdoor event at my school then , when I noted so many wearing them and I disliked that .
Later on , in the 80s , I wore them ~ and tried to starch them ! By putting starch in the washing machine , IIRC which I think is not what you're supposed to do .
I had some white jeans too , for a Beach Boys/Eric Carmen circa 1974:-) appearance .
Has anyone ever wore the kind of (as I said above) " raw " ones - really still , like old-fashioned ones - that some places here in SF sell ?
I read some years back that U.S. Navy work uniforms were a 97% cotton , 3% poly mix , back then . Maybe back-pocket-less or inside which would make them " not jeans " by my definition above ?
In some weird way maybe I'm in a mental time warp now ~ If not 1956 , when Jack Kerouac wearing jeans was radical , some 1971 Easy Rider/Two Lane Blacktop " Hey , man " " uniform of youth " concept ?
Yeah ~ I'm really up to date .

I only have jean leggings in several different colors. Regular jeans aren't dressy enough. I wear riding boots with mine and dressy shoes.

I'm always wearing jeans.

I wear them if I'm going somewhere. If I'm staying home, I usually wear softer pants.

I only own one pair of jeans, and I rarely wear them. I prefer knit pants, like leggings, or sweatpants.

I'm a 100% when it comes to wearing jeans, as well... For a pretty long time, too.

Never. I prefer shorts, and living in Texas, I can pretty much wear them year round.

But in general, I don't like wearing anything that isn't loose fitting.

wore then always as a kid and young person but never as an adult. I gotta have breathable and loose-fitting clothing on me if I am to be dressed at all.

Tim_Tex, I spent a week and a half in Texas in Late July, and would have died in jeans! I was in shorts most of the time. I did wear lightweight convertible hiking pants one morning when I went crappie fishing on Lake Granger with my friend's husband. (He runs a fishing guide business.)

Oh, yes. I love to wear them when I go out, weather permitting.

I wear blue jeans & I only wear them when it's cold outside.

Only when going outside during winter, or at work where it's necessary. I much prefer shorts, or sweatpants.

Being in Florida (and as someone who uses a bicycle for transport year round), it's generally too hot to wear them on a daily basis. Although jeans are allowed at, I personally prefer a lightweight pair of slacks. In the winter when the weather is cooler, I may wear them on weekends.

Jeans are my favourite item of clothing.
I love how long they last.
All mine are at least 10+ years old so they're nice and comfy.
The holes and tears are through wear, not design.
Some of them I've cut off at various lengths for summer, so they're very versatile as well.

I wear jeans. I prefer skinny jeans and jeggings because I find that they look good with a variety of shoes. I don't leave the house a lot so I'm usually in jeans or pajama pants.
