Just reading the Sainsbury jean thread and it got me wondering.
How many jeans are a normal amount to own?
What's your total?🙂

None I never ever wear jeans, cannot abide the material.

coolcahuna · 15/02/2025 17:12
  1. I've only just got into jeans finally. Got 2 of the barrel pairs from Tu and one skinny cropped.
ToastToo · 15/02/2025 17:13

Two pairs that fit me (one blue one black)
One pair that is too big (blue)
Three pairs that are too small (2 blue and one black)

LittleRedRidingHoody · 15/02/2025 17:15

9 or 10?

Those who have more ~ do you ever buy duplicates or 2 very similar pairs? Or are they all different?

henlake7 · 15/02/2025 17:18

I feel like Im somewhere in the middle here. I have 9 pairs.
6 wide legged-2 blue, then cream, choc, black and leopard print
1 super baggy Y2K pair
1 straight legged snakeskin pair
1 barrel legged

oh, also 4 pairs of jeggings (1 wide, 2 bootcut in black and blue and 1 sad, solitary pair of skinnies!).
Not to mention the multiple pairs of wide legged trousers, parachute pants and cords!
In answer to a PP about where I keep them.....I live alone in a 3 bedroom house so my clothes can have their own bedroom!!LOL😁

Three. One is cropped, one wide and one straight. Covers most bases.

Abra1t · 15/02/2025 17:21

Four:

mid-indigo straight
indigo slim
black straight
off-white barrel

InTheWild · 15/02/2025 17:23

I love jeans & thanks to vinted* I own about 12 pairs which I wear on rotation. Wide leg, barrel, straight and slim. All different washes.

edit: *good brands too, which I wouldn’t have been able to afford full price otherwise.

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 15/02/2025 17:23

3 - one blue, one black (both straight leg) and some cropped ones I dig out in the summer.

wearyourpinkglove · 15/02/2025 17:24

4 pairs: skinny, cropped wide leg, bootcut and straight.

Completelyjo · 15/02/2025 17:26

Maybe 10!

Smarter black jeans
looser black jeans
straight cropped blue
slightly fitted blue mom jeans
Straight dark wash blue
pink wide cropped
blue wide cropped
cream wide cropped
cream mini flare
then 2 lighter blue wash straight leg that I don’t wear until the summer.

So actually 12 in total.

pandapopadance · 15/02/2025 17:26

About 60! I have always been the same weight and have never got rid of any. I love how the fashions come back round and I've still got jeans that I love.

Catandsquirrel · 15/02/2025 17:29

A pair of old 501s somewhere but they make me look like I've got a willy since I lost weight so I'll say none. Can't decide what style I want.

Spudalot · 15/02/2025 16:06

About 10 which is too many for me really but I found a few bargain pairs on Vinted I couldn’t resist!

About 15 from which 6 are identical . However I don’t own a single pair of leggings, never have , never will, hate them with a passion

NoWordForFluffy · 15/02/2025 17:31

zebrazoop · 15/02/2025 16:06

Zero! They aren't comfortable at all

Snap!

HollyBerryz · 15/02/2025 17:34

None. I refused to wear them as a kid. Wore them from about 18-42 as I just didn't know what else to wear and I've have now decided I can't be bothered with uncomfortable clothes so don't wear them again.

WeeklyJab · 15/02/2025 17:36

Three. All from Sainsbury’s thanks to that thread, all in the sale at under £15.

I have lost quite a bit of weight (god bless Mounjaro) and my old clothes didn’t fit anymore.

I live in jeans. They are practical and comfortable.

dizzydizzydizzy · 15/02/2025 17:37
  1. One of them I need to throw away because it has a hole in the bum area. Must look for the other pair - they've disappeared
Prettypennies · 15/02/2025 17:42

4 or 5 pairs, none of them fit me at the moment though!

MontyDonsfrontlawn · 15/02/2025 17:53

3 skinnies, 3 boyfriend, 4 bootcut and 1 wide leg.
So 11.

StarlightLady · 15/02/2025 18:11

I’m very much a “dresses girl”, l love my dresses including winter weight ones. If l’m not in a dress l can be found in leggings or a skirt.

So, l have 2 pairs of past their best jeans, reserved mainly for gardening and the dirtier housework jobs and 2 pairs of “best jeans”. That’s enough for me.

welshpolarbear · 15/02/2025 18:29

None - the closest is one pair of black jeggings from Fatface!

I find them so uncomfortable these days!

I said earlier I have 27 pairs. I think about 8 of those are the same or very similar pair of diesel skinzies. The rest are different.

I don't own or wish to own any dresses, leggings, shorts, skirts, cargos or joggers!

Fizbosshoes · 15/02/2025 18:37

9
I wear jeans most days. I recently got some new ones and have demoted some others for work

3 black pairs, all skinny, (1 is cropped and 1 is glittery)
1 pink
2 bootleg
2 skinny
1 wide leg

I might get a pair of black bootleg ones if I can find any that fit

cashmerecardigans · 15/02/2025 18:40

I was feeling and about having 32, until
I say someone and over 100 Smile. A mix of styles and colours, but mainly skinny or slim. I got a couple of throwback bootlegs in case they come back in. Currently wearing a diesel pair made for their 30th anniversary, so from 2008
