If you are a jeans person - how many pairs do you own?

I will live in jeans and a jumper from now until April. Trying to sort out my wardrobe at the moment and I have so many pairs. It’s stupid. I wear them all the time but still, there must be a limit! If you’re also a jeans person - how many pairs do you have?

4 pairs.
A decent black, a decent blue, the previous decent black or blue pair now relegated to garden chores, and a light grey summer.

SixSeven · 20/09/2025 23:24

About a dozen. Current favourite are Zara wide legs and Next longer length boot cuts.

I will never ever find jeans as good as Gap long and leans which fitted me perfectly and made my arse look ace. Best jeans ever.

ChaliceinWonderland · 20/09/2025 23:26

2 pairs. Need to get more eva bootcut from mns, so comfy!!!!

I’m not at home right now but I’d hazard a guess at about 10 pairs ranging from skinny to wide leg jeans, with them being black to grey to blue. I live in jeans from this time of year through to about April. Brands include Levi to H&M as at five feet nothing, it’s quite hard to find jeans that fit well at a price I can afford

mamaduckbone · 21/09/2025 07:36

5
Wide legged pale denim
Very dark wide legged
Pale barrel leg
Dark straight leg cropped
Straight legged old faded pair that I wear for watching rugby in the winter as they are the only pair that wellies fit over.
I'd like some washed black/grey ones.

I find it mind boggling that some people have 20 or 30 pairs. Where do you store them all?? You must have a lot of wardrobe space.

Silverbirchleaf · 21/09/2025 07:44

About five worn regularly, but another few in smaller sizes (in loft). Three Blues in different shades plus one black and one faded black. All bootcut.

waltercrimble · 21/09/2025 07:52

8 or 9 but I am still searching for the perfect pair.

RampantIvy · 21/09/2025 07:54

1 pair M & S black slim straight leg
1 pair M & S navy slim straight leg
1 pair M & S navy wide leg
1 pair super shaper from Morrison's mid blue
1 pair mid blue straight leg from Matalan that I wear for gardening and other mucky jobs

The Morrison's jeans were an amazing find. They are really good quality and extremely comfortable. They are a little too short but I pass them off as ankle grazers.

Diggetydawg · 21/09/2025 08:08

2 pairs of Levi XL Straight - one black and one medium blue. They're my favourites
1 pair of Uniqlo Baggy Curve
1 pair of Hollister Low Rise Baggy in medium blue which are not as wide as the Levis
1 pair of dark wash wide legs from Next

Also 1 park of dark blue Levi XL Chino and and Levi XL Straight light blue in the linen mix but they're summer jeans so have been put away now.

7 in the size I am now and 3 in a size down. I’m losing weight so refuse to buy any more in my actual size! Once I settle into a size I’m sure my collection will grow

Skimama123 · 21/09/2025 08:27

7 or 8 I think

3 of which are the Hollister livvy wide leg jeans - all light blue(I also have too many pairs of the Livvy trousers! 😂)
Black wide leg high waist ones from Tesco (bought on a whim in the sale but they’re now my faves)
skinny slightly cropped levis (faded black)
a few pairs of Next skinnies from a vinted bundle(mix of dark blue & black)

bugalugs45 · 21/09/2025 08:33

I will never ever find jeans as good as Gap long and leans which fitted me perfectly and made my arse look ace. Best jeans ever.

Three pairs. One ‘best’ pair from Poetry, one pair from Mint Velvet & one pair of Levis, worn from Autumn thru’ Spring. I rarely wear anything else. I don’t get why anyone would need more.

EDIT: Apologies, I didn’t mean to quote you. It doesn’t seem to be letting me delete.

Cantonet · 21/09/2025 10:52

9 pairs & that shocked me. I thought I was becoming more minimalist. One is a dog walking pair of skinnys.

3 barrel - Sienna miller in white & black. Uniqlo baker jeans in indigo.

2 straight leg cropped button fly jeans & my favourite but a little too big now - M&S old.
Mango cropped straight black.
Uniqlo J W Anderson straight in a dark indigo.

1 M&S wide leg lyocell jeans with pintuck.

fragrancefriend · 12/10/2025 18:25

I only have 2 pairs that fit me. Levis ribcage dark denim wide leg. Medium denim Levi’s 501 cropped. I have lots of skinny’s that don’t fit me any more. I should just get rid of them.

Purplecatshopaholic · 12/10/2025 18:35

I don’t consider myself a jeans person, but I have at least ten pairs, lol, including the ones I can remember:
Ralph Lauren paint splatter boyfriend jeans
Levi 501 boyfriend straight leg
A pair of All Saints barrel style
BDG wide leg ones from Urban Outfitters
Numerous pairs from All for Mankind including straight leg, boot cut, and wide leg in different colours.

Didntask · 12/10/2025 18:59

Christ, I've got loads 😅. I'll probably be buried in them.

Nothungrycat · 12/10/2025 19:06

I wear jeans most of the time, so usually have a few pairs that I alternate ranging from ones I'd go out in to those I'd only garden in. Current total is as follows:

Two wide-legged cropped - one black, one blue - Fatface
Three girlfriend in various stages of use - also Fatface
One slightly loose pair from Toast that I can't remember buying but am currently wearing a lot
One black/grey straight leg from M&S that I can't currently fit into
One blue straight leg from M&S that are only fit for gardening.

Deliveroo · 12/10/2025 19:06

4: I alternate between 2 pairs for daily wear, and keep 1 for slightly smarter occasions. I’ll rotate the smart pair into daily wear, when I buy new jeans. The 4th pair is kept for painting.

I’m very minimalist and I’m slow to adopt new styles. I have other clothes too, but jeans are a staple.

Cheezewizz · 12/10/2025 19:09

2 pairs but I don’t wear them often
