Do you wear jeans ?

I do remember when they were called dungarees. They were mostly worn by teenagers. We rolled up the pants legs, as they were always too long. (Wish I could do that with all my pants now.)
 
I still wear jeans often, when appropriate. Mostly it's leggings because they are more comfortable until I loose weight to fit in my jeans better! As for ripped jeans, I just can't reconcile myself to paying our hard-earned money for torn up clothing. Even my kids... if they want ripped jeans, they buy them with their own money. Aren't I an ogre?

I remember that they were called dungarees, too, and think that started with the navy. It's one of those words that turned into something more "up to date" like davenport to couch to sofa.
 
I have worn jeans my entire life. Although there are no photos to prove it, I suspect my diapers were denim. I do, however, have first day of school year photos showing me in new garb including stiff indigo jeans with eight inch rolled up cuffs. It required nine months of combined fabric shrinkage and physical growth to bring those cuffs to where they should be. The typical school term was also long enough to turn the Jean fabric from stiff and abrasive sanding cloth to a texture that could be worn against the skin without pain. I also remember that during the indigo Jean break in period getting caught in a rainstorm engendered a risk of having everything below the waist (tighty whitey undies and your natural born hide included) dyed blue.

Is that relevant? I had a few other things to do.
Was there a specific time frame limitation? :ROFLMAO:

I have different 'classes' of jeans: loose fitting carpenter jeans with a tool pocket for around the property; conventional straight leg Levis for going into town; slim cut, un-faded Wranglers for a bit more presentable occasions and khaki jeans for occasions when blue denim might be too casual.
And in my mid west part of the USA, age has no relevance whatever in whether one wears jeans.....we're a rural region.

I’ve just seen a topic on another site where a member claims jeans are ‘inappropriate’ after the age of 35 !!

I don’t wear them all the time, but I love my jeans and will carry on wearing them if I live to be 100

What do you think ?

I wear jeans but I don't go out much.

Maybe the same individual who came up with dropping hemlines an inch each year after age 40, only wear short hair, etc.
Nope, I have no interest in dressing like Edith Bunker!!!! :cautious:
Jeans only- although some are corduroy, khaki, etc.
 
i have several pairs of jeans, but much prefer trackie bottoms, i also have suit pants, i also remember when jeans were work-wear, and dungarees over here are generally worn over a pair of pants as they are certainly for work...
 
I don't see people wearing jeans that much anymore. Leggings appear more popular with women, and narrow-leg pants seem popular with younger men. Perhaps because denim is a dense fabric. Occasionally, I see someone with the torn jeans.
 
Mother's had the strange idea of sending their kids to school (1st-3rd graders)
to school in shorts-weather permitting.
'So cute.'
Once we graduated to long pants-always bluejeans, we never worn anything else.

Levis sir, Levis-
Sears produced Wranglers, one dollar cheaper
Levis Sir, Levis
Once Levis were obtained, they were never given up...

Never, never wear shorts, or those indecisive Cargo Shorts-long pants only

The only way their going to get me out of my long pants, always Levis is when the undertaker pulls them off.
'Levis sir, levis.'
 
Here in the silicon valley jeans are almost the corporate uniform. I usually wear them with a casual dress shirt when I go into work. Most of the other folks do that or wear them with a t-shirt or other casual shirt. A lot of the women at work wear jeans as well.

When I'm around the house or doing other things I'll wear shorts if it's warm or hot outside and jeans pretty much the rest of the time.
