Does anyone not wear jeans ?

Following on from the skinny jeans being over thread I was thinking about this. I have gone from wearing jeans literally every day from about 2002-2019 to hardly wearing them at all. Every time I put them on I just find them so restrictive. They fit me fine, not to small, they just feel uncomfortable. I hate high waists so I think that's part of the problem.

I'm considering selling them all on Ebay and just sticking to joggers when I want to he casual but will I regret it, does anyone else not wear them ?

Next have some nice chinos, £20 a pair I think. I have them in black, navy and khaki. Look nice with trainers, converse or shoes.

I stopped when skinnies were in. And have started again this year.

No, have several pairs but hardly ever wear, find them uncomfortable and unflattering.

I detest them. Actually, I don't really like trousers in general. But jeans are awful! Love the look of them...but they are just not comfy or very attractive, IMO.

Love my denim dungarees dresses though. Smile

I wear my jeans almost everyday. Keep them, they'll never go out of fashion even if the styles go in and out.

I don’t even own a pair. I’m slim but they don’t suit me, make me feel dumpy and I found them uncomfortable. It must have been 2016 (pre dc) last time I wore jeans.
I ordered some of them mom jeans last year as I saw them on someone I follow on Instagram and thought she looked great but oh my Jesus Christ they looked horrific on me!
I wear smart joggers from next with either a bodysuit and flat sandals or long sleeve oversized T-shirt with converse. So much more comfortable. I do wear dresses with flat sandals (boots in winter) mostly. I also wear good quality thick ponte leggings in winter.

I'm very unfashionable and live in rural obscurity so live in jeans (boots/trainers). They go with everything so it's easy. I'm 55 so should know better but I'm tall and slim so they look OK. Have recently bought boyfriend and mom style to change from skinnies which are great in the winter but not so comfortable in summer.
Would love the confidence (and opportunity) to wear other things!

I've worn nothing but dresses for years.
Hate jeans

I have a few pairs of jeans but l don’t wear them very often.

My go to items are my dresses.

Housewife2010 · 22/08/2021 05:18

I've never owned jeans or anything denim. My children had their first pair of jeans from around 8. I just don't like them.

LivingDeadGirlUK · 22/08/2021 10:38

I wear jeans all the time but I think you have to be selective if looking for comfort, and they shouldn't be washed too often as they are most comfy after a days wear.

Tanfastic · 22/08/2021 10:45

I rarely wear jeans anymore AZ I just find them so thick and uncomfortable and I don't think any look good on me tbh. I wear combats, leggings, joggers, with various shirts and vests/t shirts. I also have two pairs of cheesecloth joggers in khaki and black that look bloody ace. I have got a pair of cream denim joggers also that are prob my most jean type trouser I have.

I've never liked the restrictive feel of jeans not even as a teenager, so they've never graced my wardrobe with their presence. To be honest I couldn't understand the appeal of wearing something like two corrugated tubes on your legs. Early ones weren't at all flexible and the creases they formed behind the knees was quite painful. So, it was 'in the front door, try on, take off, out the back door!

Me I hate jeans.. I find them restrictive and uncomfortable. I have nothing in denim in my wardrobe. I also have nothing black as it doesn't suit me. Makes for fun time when told (just wear a pair of jeans/black trousers.) Err no can do.

I wear Not Your Daughters Jeans (NYDJ) expensive, but much more comfortable than Levi's etc.
