Jeans

Post Reply New Topic

I've always worn jeans and always will.

The main issue I have with jeans in general is that, denim is a headache to hand wash in the laundry.

I just need a good size for myself. I don't like it if it's too tight -- too constricting, just like any clothing.

A whole legged fit had to be made with something thinner or lighter; the less constricting, the better.

Just the right amount, altered from tailoring, it can be as comfortable for me.

Maybe my autism is why I never liked jeans. They are too rough and uncomfortable.

What part of the world do you live in? Are jeans just generally uncommon there?

Around here they're very common, one of the most common types of pants worn for sure.

I wear jeans most days for most things. Construction work - jeans. Motorcycle riding - jeans. Going to the beach when it's not hot enough to wear shorts - jeans. Working at my friend's tech company office - jeans. Shopping, socializing, visiting, going to some gay guy's place for a hookup - jeans. etc.

Uncomfortable jeans? No. Gotta make sure you buy ones that fit You and allow you to comfortably move. I didn't think I would be, but I've become a HUGE fan of the denim that has spandex/stretchy elastic woven into it. They allow me to move really freely without restriction so I can lift my leg like Van Damme and mount my motorcycle, or scramble up a ladder or scaffold, or walk around on stilts for work etc - but they still have a button up waist band and remind me to keep my waistline trim vs. wear sweat pants with elastic that feels so comfy you can just eat and expand without a care in the world lol.

And some people wear very expensive designer jeans to "dress up," and go out - like a few hundred dollars+ per pair. Not me - don't care for big $ fashion AND I don't think any of them fit me. But the stretchy fabric ones from Costco that cost $18.99 fit very well for all of my purposes, and because they fit they look Okay too vs. other brands stretching across my tree trunk thighs.

This isn't really a thing here At All anymore, but maybe in Alberta or something?? But ever heard of a "Canadian Tuxedo" ?? This is Canadian formal wear:









But these days here on the West Coast dressy-casual wear is more likely to be from hometown fashion hero Chip Wilson's Lululemon brand than this look.

I don't mind wearing (looser) jeans, but that's probably because I had to wear them throughout elementary school. My parents wouldn't let me wear anything else since they held up to me falling on my hands and knees better than other things (I tripped multiple times a day and basically every time I ran lol) and covered my legs.

In my social circle which I mean: my family, my friends, my family friends, jeans = seen as informal.

Formal places that ban them:
My cousin will likely not let us wear them to her wedding
My job didn't let me wear them (office work)
My work experience didn't let me wear them (library work)
My sixth form didn't let me wear them (16-18, no uniform)

Informal places that allow them:
Home, going to town, going to the cinema etc. Anywhere where you can dress how you like.

The rest is just touch sensitivity on my part. I'm not saying uncomfortable for everyone, I'm saying specifically for me. I'm really touch sensitive & need loose clothing. (I'm underweight not overweight but this is an autism forum so I assume people realise that there's other reasons why someone might need loose clothes other than just being fat...)

At uni I wore them every day. But they weren't comfy. It's just that everyone wore them every day.

My granddad wears them every day, ever since he retired, excluding formal events. At work he had to wear linen trousers and a shirt and tie.

I think it's cool that there's formal events that allow them - I wonder if they would also allow sports wear though. They might be like mum's second wedding: anything goes.
