How many pairs of jeans do you own?

I just counted six, including some denim dungarees.

Too many? Tbh I am quite tempted by another pair or two.

Dungarees aren’t jeans! Theyre a whole different group. Sooo counting in my head at LEAST 12 actual jeans, 1 that I would only ever wear on a date night or something and 1 that I would only ever wear around the house, 2 dungarees, 3 pinafore denim- obviously not including shorts and things

  1. 2 black, 1 dark blue, 1 lighter blue and 1 white.
Lyricallie · 23/06/2020 23:10

I think 4 and a pair of jeggins which are so done and I only wear about the house. Two pairs of black from new look, one more skinny fit black from Tesco and blue ones mum jeans from somewhere no idea. I don't really wear jeans all that often though usually work trousers or leggings.

LethargicLumpOfLockdownLard · 23/06/2020 23:15

Own? Or that actually fit? Either 10+ or 0.

Germolenequeen · 23/06/2020 23:16

About 15 I think including 3 pairs of jeggings - none of the jeans fit atm so have just started a diet 😬

violetscone · 23/06/2020 23:17

2 black
3 grey
5 blue

Chanel05 · 23/06/2020 23:17

0 - I hate jeans!

Ludways · 23/06/2020 23:17

About 6 pair that I actually wear and a further 20 I've bought and either don't fit or I think just look shit, lol

PersonaNonGarter · 23/06/2020 23:17

Oh this is great, it sounds like I am in a fairly normal banding with six pairs.

You are right @TheGirlWhoLived that dungarees are a whole other category. But I didn’t include a black pair which are quite tailored. So maybe a half mark each equals the sixth pair?

I haven’t included jeggings on the basis that I’ve forgotten I had those cos they are in the Might Charity Shop Bag now my arse is too saggy for their stretch.

Oh and a pair of teal jeggings

VanGoghsDog · 23/06/2020 23:19

Probably about fifteen, I try to avoid counting clothes really!

MyHairNeedsASnip · 23/06/2020 23:21

Probably 8 ish maybe. I wear 3. I doubt I fit in any right now.

RiverCrossing · 23/06/2020 23:21

At last count, 32. I was thinking today it’s a bit out of hand actually so that number might be smaller after a weekend sort out!

ZarkingBell · 23/06/2020 23:27

None. Not worn them since way before I had kids.
Never found a pair that fitted me well and now I'm no longer interested.

WhistlersandJugglers · 23/06/2020 23:43

About 10. Black and navy for smart casual. A few casual for around the house. My newest are boot cuts. I love jeans.

anothermansmother · 23/06/2020 23:57

One pair of jeans, worn very rarely. I used to live in jeans but much prefer dresses, so I wear them 99% of the time. I only own 2 pairs of trousers in total now.

EL8888 · 24/06/2020 00:01

Must be in the 20’s?

Victoria1083 · 24/06/2020 00:01

At least 25 pairs

MrsVeryTired · 24/06/2020 00:01

About 20 Blush they range from £10 Tesco black ones for work to £80 from John Lewis for a biker style pair. I wear jeans all the time.

squeekums · 24/06/2020 00:34

Upwards of 10
I like options

BillywigSting · 24/06/2020 00:41

2, neither of which have been worn for some considerable length of time.

Even when they fit they're just not that comfortable.

Chinos and cords though I have about 10 pairs, all in various jewel shades but mostly green, maroon and mustard yellow.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 24/06/2020 04:40

15... All Top Shop Jamie's! In various stages of wear, and my daily " uniform"
They fit me perfectly and are very comfortable

Lockdownhairdontcare · 24/06/2020 05:50

3 black skinnies
1 dark denim straight leg
1 dark denim flared
1 mid denim mom
1 mid denim straight
1 light denim mom

So 8

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 24/06/2020 06:13

About 10. Which includes a couple of 3/4 length pairs.

But I wear jeans for work and need a fresh pair every day.

ouch321 · 24/06/2020 06:18

Without counting, about 12 to 15. I could get by with fewer.
