My Father hasn't. Is it me or is that highly unusual?

My mum, and all my grandparents.

My DD won't wear them either 🤷🏻‍♀️

I never wear jeans, last time I wore them was 1994 to ride on a motorbike. I just dont find them comfortable. I don't wear trousers either. Occasionally leggings that's it.

My late grandmother never wore jeans, and very rarely wore trousers.

My 80 year old Mum.

She rocks a tunic and leggings though. Smile

Wow, I’ve gone through life thinking I was the only whose father has never worn jeans. What a revelation this is!

My old employer.
Now 70. Ex public School, Treasury etc.

Both my children aged 16 and 13.
Both autistic. Neither will wear jeans.

I have 40 pairs! (lost lots of weight, went down lots of sizes, too scared to ditch the bigger ones, every single one from charity shops)

My mum and dad! Mum is 69

Thesuzle · 03/07/2020 19:48

My dad never ever

TARSCOUT · 03/07/2020 19:52

My mum. She's way to sophisticated and classy for jeans. Think Honor Blackman stylish.

My parents in law. They get annoyed at make TV presenters who don't wear tiesGrin

Ghostlyglow · 03/07/2020 20:06

Male TV presenters, obviously Hmm

My in-laws.
Both sets of grandparents.
My dad used to when he was younger but no longer even owns a pair.

Jeans are popular but they're not especially comfortable around the waist and they can rub on the thighs too. I don't wear them much these days and much prefer jeggings or leggings or something softer and more elasticated - mainly because my job is pretty active and jeans just wouldn't cut it!
