Looks like the local pub darts team on the way home from their summer jolly got taken short Holly
 

Of course, I wear them very often. Since women rarely wear skirts any more, we wear pants pretty much all the time, jeans are just another style of pants.

Well, not to burst anyone's bubble, but I wear men's jeans sometimes. There's a style of jeans called The Boyfriend Jean, a bit more loose than the regular skinny jeans, and cut differently than straight jeans.

I'm tall, and still relatively slender, and I can wear that style. But I hate to pay the price for those jeans...women's jeans are EXPENSIVE! and I've solved that particular problem by just wearing Ron's jeans! They're cut a bit differently than a similar women's style, and I fill them out a bit more ;) but they work just fine!

How tall are you and what size? Just curious. My husband wears Costco brand jeans. He pays $18 for them.
I don’t fit well into men’s jeans cause I have a long torso and find men’s jeans far too uncomfortable.
Womens jeans definitely fit differently. Thank goodness.

I always wear men's jeans, I'm considered to be 'apple' shaped instead of pear, etc. My waste is wide and I have narrow hips and thighs, so the men's work for me, more comfortable for sure.

I have been moving away from jeans to cargo pants. I like the extra pockets. I am 85

What I fail to understand is "ragpicker jeans" favored by some folks who are old enough to know better.

Even though I'm a woman, I've been moving away from jeans too and wearing mostly cargo pants. I don't use a handbag or purse, my wallet goes in my back pocket like a man. I also have extra things I put in the cargo pockets like pepper spray, poo bags for the dog, cell phone, tissues, keys, etc.

I've worn my jeans in the past to the point where they were showing wear and have no problem with that, but I wouldn't purchase a new pair of jeans that had holes or tears in them from the manufacturer.

Ladies jeans are tailored in a different way to mens'...

Yes. And they look a lot better on women than the ones men wear.

There is a song by Johny Cash and the lyrics are "And he's over forty and still wearing jeans".

I find jeans are too stiff for casual wear. It's funny. When I was a teen and working construction I used to wear jeans to work and when I came home changed to regular slacks.

Now the younger generation does the opposite. The go to work in regular slacks and come home and change to jeans.

My how times have changed.

Do you remember? Are you old enough? We used to call them DUNGAREES. They were basically work pants.

Yes, we used to call them dungarees too, I think the first brand I bought as a teenager was Wranglers, now I stick with Levis.

No, no, no! A snob is someone who thinks they are superior and looks down on the lower orders.

While I am superior, I know the lower orders are very necessary to my comfort!
 
Do you wear jeans?

I prefer to wear my own, but if Jean takes hers off......I might give them a try......:D

When I was a kid in the late '30's, I don't even recall jeans(or dungarees). We had overalls, similar to workmen with the bib and straps over the shoulders. It was only during or after WWII that jeans appeared, and then it was an embarrassment for kids to be caught in overalls. Working men still wore them but for kids it was a styling "faux pas". I can't speak for cowboys as that was a part of the country that I never lived in.
