How many pairs of jeans do you own?

Just being noisy here, how many pairs of jeans do others own. Also, what style. I've got two bootcut, black and sage green, two boyfriend midwash and sage green and three straight, dark wash, black/blue and mid blue, which makes seven!

Have to say I live in jeans all winter and I did buy four pairs in Next's sale in the summer.

a big fat 0 !

shineonucrazydiamond · 04/10/2012 14:27

Maybe about 30 or so. Hmmm...

I don't like black jeans and favour dark denims or a lighter, faded blue. The best I have found, for flattering fit are Boden - plus they look nice on. I like GAP as well but their sizes are insane. Their size 10 is more like a 14 so it's good for the ego to shop in there Grin

Skinnies- 3 indigo, 1 black, 1 grey,1 burgundy, 1 khaki plus a pair of indigo jeggings.
Bootcut 2 pairs dark blue
plus 1 pair straight leg jeans.
Then there's about 5 pairs old jeans for decorating/muddy events etc

Next skinnys in jade

smoothieooo · 04/10/2012 17:29

About 6 or 7 pairs. Only 2 actually fit - I accidentally lost 18lbs and need to get rid of some 12-14's! I've been on eBay a lot today as can't afford to replace them all with new ones!

Need an entirely new work wardrobe too - eeek! Grin

notMarlene · 04/10/2012 17:29

None

Hopefully · 04/10/2012 17:31

1 pair khaki super skinnies
1 pair dark olive skinnies
1 pair red/orange skinnies
1 pair teal skinnies

So 4 pairs. No blue jeans at all!

How on earth is it possible to use 10+ pairs of jeans? Am Shock at 20-30+. Why?

CointreauVersial · 04/10/2012 17:36

I must have about 30 pairs of jeans, but a lot of them are too big (I lost weight a couple of years back), or are bootcut, which I don't wear any more (but am hanging onto in the event of them coming round again).

I used to have a really bad habit of buying jeans that were a size too big - they'd be comfy in the fitting room, then would be hanging off my arse after a day's wear.

I reckon I have around 7 pairs of skinnies in current use - indigo, washed blue, jade green, white, black x2, dark grey. Hankering after a burgundy pair....

CointreauVersial · 04/10/2012 17:38

Hopefully - I have 30+ pairs of jeans because I'm 45 and never throw clothes out. I've got jeans that are probably older than you!

Halfling · 04/10/2012 18:08

4 pairs that fit properly. 10 or so which don't.

EdBird · 04/10/2012 18:41

About 17 and they all fit.
Various colours.
Tend to mark them inside in waistband with a 'P' (for posh) if I need to wear them with heels.

gindrinker · 04/10/2012 18:42

Black skinnies
2No. Identical dark straight legs
1No. Indigo straight legs
One light straight cut for rolling into cropped in the sun
Boyfriend baggies for painting in

bigTillyMint · 04/10/2012 18:43

Actually I only have 8Smile
skinnies black, dark wash, cobalt blue
Straight-leg - dark wash, white, grey cord
boot-cut - 2 x dark wash (terribly old-fashioned crepeyWink)
old one pair for dirty jobs

Woozley · 04/10/2012 19:16

Two. One pair dark skinny, one lighter coloured boyfriend fit.

doglover · 04/10/2012 19:26

2 pairs. An old faded pair for dog-walking and a slightly-less faded pair for everything else. I'm currently losing weight so refuse to buy more until I've lost another stone!
