What other silly names can we give jeans?

[Globules]

A thread about Carrot jeans? I've seen it all now.

It was bad enough when Mom and Boyfriend jeans started, now we've got barrel and carrot.

It was already hard enough to buy a pair of jeans that looked good. Now you've got to wade through so many styles with ridiculously stupid names!

What's next?

Broccoli jeans (bumpy in places)?
Wheel jeans (big circle for your legs)?

I saw these carrot ones in Marks the other day, the shape looks slightly bloomer ish to me, I'm not sure who they would suit.

Sausage jeans - where they're stretchy but too tight and they make your legs look like two sausages strung together 🙁

Giraffe... make you legs look they are over long and thin

Flaningo... over tightness in one leg causes you to stand on one foot with one leg bent

Ballet... complete with tutu

I've got short, knobbly legs so I'd definitely be interested in Giraffe jeans!

Elephant...very wide and they only come in grey.

🤣🤣🤣

Hopefully there are some designers out there onto these!

Camel jeans. No explanation needed 😆

Brutalist jeans for those of us built like a 1950s car park.

Kitten jeans - in Tabby and various other cat prints together with scrunch bum and tail.

Trumpet jeans - with such wide bell-bottoms that you run the risk of accidentally hoovering up puppies, kittens and toddlers as you sweep past them.

Uber-jeans - they only come in purple - which make you look like a cross between a taxi driver and a penis emoji.

Trumpets were known as bell bottoms about 40 years ago 🤣🤣🤣

Next are selling stove pipe jeans.
I think a range of jeans modelled after furniture legs would be great.

I seem to remember there were drainpipe jeans at one point.

Sofa jeans.... designed for maximum comfort whil lounging on the sofa.

Levi's are selling, "Ribcage jeans." Very, very high waist. Which would look OK until you sat down, I think. Then you'd look like you'd sort of caved in on yourself.

There's also Horseshoe jeans which are very, very wide at the knee and stiff, then extremely tight around the ankle.

Then there's the zero waste (in cutting out the pattern from the cloth) spiral trousers. A noble endevour from an environmental point of view but they have seams sort of on the bias which looks uncomfortable to wear and the fit isn't so great.

I also remember - and I'm sure that I didn't make this up - that I had a pair of skinny three quarter length jeans that had a green tinge on the knees like ready made grass stains about fifteen years ago.

Stove pipe?

This has made me chortle. Such a middle class analogy for a jean!

These.

I want these.

I would happily buy sofa jeans.

😁😁😁😁🤣

I have a friend in the US who a few years ago said you could buy jeans with a pretend thong / boxer/ budgie smugglers waist band sticking out of the top of the jeans so you could look trendy but be comfortable.

“Stovepipe” has been used to describe straight, narrow jeans & trousers since the 1950s! It’s what Teddy Boys wore. The Victorians had Stovepipe hats. Of all the adjectives attached to jeans these days, this is actually very well established.

Fashion victim jeans. Especially when three inches too short was a fashion and people cut the bottom part off to conform.

Queen Anne jeans would be very difficult to walk in, though - you'd feel like you were doing some kind of robotic Lambeth Walk the whole time!

It's new to me.

I've heard of drainpipes, like @NervousSheepy but never stovepipes.

Learn something new every day. Thank you. 👍

I remember Stovepipe jeans in the very late 70’s early 80’s. We called them Stovies.

Who remembers the fashion for baggy jeans where the legs were too long so you ended up with a massive hole at the bottom where they dragged along the ground(and siaked up a gallon of water when it rained?)

My lovely grandmother offered to mend mine for me (while looking concerned at my mother about finances) and my mother just sighed and said "they're supposed to look like that".
