What Type of Jeans Do You Wear?

[MaidMarian]

I wear NYDJ ( Not Your Daughter’s Jeans) and Eileen Fisher Jeans.
I have 2 pairs of knit jeans. They’re pull on, soft jeans that feel like pajamas.

I must admit that I have never owned or worn a pair of jeans in my life. They always look so hot, and the fabric seems very hard. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong shops, but at my age don't think I'll ever be stepping into any.

 

[WheatenLover]

I like NYDJ, Lucky Brand, 1822 Denim. Mostly skinny jeans, but I am branching out. Size 6.

 

[Wombat]

I just wear denim shorts all year round.

Just took this ELPH190 photo outside my front door. Received via Amazon these for $48 on sale, medium blue Levi 511 30x30 jeans two days ago that for everyday urban use fit this slim person optimally, not skin tight nor loose. Levi also makes a thinner 512 model that is too tight and of course, the looser 505 model (same as 501 model but with zipper fly) I buy and use when outdoors actively in the field.

I love a man in a pink shirt David!
@DebraMae The only jeans I buy are by Chic too, but I never bought the kind you have. I like that they fit well in the crotch and of course the elastic waist makes for comfortable. The only other pair that weren't Chic were Alfred Dunner petites (I need a plus size petites) that I got for a great price at my favorite thrift-consignment shop. I used to get Chic jeans from the now defunct Kmart.

Back in the day I wore Wrangler, Lee Cooper and Levi's. During the noughties and a bit later I wore budget brand denim but as my employment improved I looked for better jeans. I tried some stretch denim but not for long, it's just not durable. Nowadays I I solely wear Levi's 516, boot cut for work and motorcycle riding, nothing else makes the grade Downunder. Levi's are expensive but I just scored two pairs at 30% off EOFY special.

I like my jeans but I don't wear any brand in particular.

@OneEyedDiva - The Chic brand has always fit me well and when I saw these on Amazon I gave them a try. They will have a size to fit you and they come in different colors. They are lightweight and a good every day choice for me. They are called Chic elastic-waist pull on legging pant.

Amazon also carries some called Chic classic collection easy-fit which are a little nicer and fit me well.

I haven’t worn jeans in years—- and years.

I wear those cheap stretchy things from Walmart. That way when I ruin them at the barn or rip them I don’t feel so bad.

I've never worn jeans either, denim has no appeal. Each to their own.

 

[MACKTEXAS]

These are the only brand that fit well; others are baggy on me.

Well that nylon elastane shirt is not pink, haha, but rather a more orange pastel salmon coral, though may look so on computers with poor color adjustments. But yes it was an Amazon woman's clothing product in Medium. I have 3 other same model pastel colored shirts per image below. Because I have an unusually thin size for an adult male, I sometimes look at women's products for body fit.

red 191 green 109 blue 114

Pink would be more like:
hex eaa6e1
red 308 green 166 blue 225

David, I love that color even better; it looks very nice on me. Orange is my favorite color and even derivatives of it are very pleasing to my eyes.

 

[Capt Lightning]

Whatever is cheap and fits me. I only wear them as work wear and I'm not going to pay a fortune for a fancy label.

 

[JBR]

What type of jeans? Jeans of my forebears, ancestral jeans.

 

[Oldeagle66]

It's been a few years since I wore jeans, but it was usually wrangler relaxed fit or levis 501 blues

Same here, I don't pay above $25 for most clothes.

I like Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans. Mom jeans? Maybe, but I like the fit. I'm having trouble lately finding petite (short) size at my regular store. I have a light wash and a dark wash so I'm good for now.

I wear the same, have yet to find any that fit this well and I do like a bit of stretch. My oldest pair now has holes in the knees, so I look very fashionable in them. hahahahaha I tell my grand daughter, I got these holes the old fashioned way!

I feel like they stopped making them in petite.

I wear them in black and they can go anywhere.

I have no particular brand and style depends on the occasion. Usually buy denim with a bit of spandex so the jeans don't sag after the first hour of wear.

I wear 1990 USA made, light stretch, Levi, mom jeans. I still have 5 pair left in both relaxed and slim fit, medium and short length. I wear the relaxed fit, short length, during the summer. Looser fit is cooler and short length looks sassy with sandals. I also have a couple pair in cutoffs. I cut them longer than Daisy Dukes, so I have a couple of inches to fold up when I forget my age and feel 17 and a quick flip down when in the company of any that would use a disparaging wildlife name to describe me, based on excessive upper leg exposure.

 

[IKE]

Have been wearing Wrangler 'relaxed fit' for a few years now and like the looseness.

I would love to have black pair. They have them online in short.
This discussion made me look up the difference in petite, petite short, and short.
I will have to try on a short one in the store if I can't find plain petite.That's all I see now. I know petite short is too short.
This is what I got:



But what exactly is the difference between petite and short sizing for jeans?

I feel like they stopped making them in petite.

I know they've gotten much harder to find online. I'm sure they are not very popular with the young crowd. I don't wear petite, so I'm not sure. I think I ordered my last pair from Amazon. Can't find them in stores at alllllll.
