slo’s FRIDAY 3/24 poll - Blue Jeans

[Jeannie]

Does anybody still call them dungarees? That was the term when I was growing up.

Not anymore, but I remember that from maybe late 60s!!!

 

[E&Cmom]

I am a woman. I rarely wearing them.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I have to say that as a kid and teen, I always wore jeans {and a white t-shirt}, except at school. No jeans allowed in either elementary or.high school back then.

 

[AussieFan8]

I didn't wear jeans for years after discovering joggers/Athleta pants because I never found jeans to be comfortable. Then my daughter worked at The Buckle last year and I discovered their Buckle Black brand jeans. They are incredibly comfortable. Stretchy but don't lose their shape, you don't have to hike them up all the time, etc. Now I wear them occasionally when going out.

 

[disney4us2002]

I said a few times per month. I don't find them comfortable at all. I prefer leggings or casual elastic waist pants but not sweats. Comfort has taken priority over fashion at this point in my life.

Anyone else singing the Neil Diamond classic “Forever in Blue Jeans”

 

[tvguy]

Haven't worn anything but jeans so far this year. Wore slacks at a funeral in October.
When I worked, that is all I wore, despite an occasional new boss who might try and enforce a dress code. In TV it is not uncommon for on air people to have a clothing allowance which complicated things for us off camera. HR generally said the company could only dictate clothing worn by those whose wardrobe was paid for by the company. Barring of course obscene clothing.

 

[TipsyTraveler]

I stopped wearing jeans in 2006 when I decided screw it, leggings *are* pants.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Woman here who pre-pandemic wore blue jeans every day except Sundays for church. These days I wear mostly pajama pants, lol. I do wear jeans when going to the dentist!

 

[BlueStarryHat]

Rarely, and never in the house-I change out of them into something more comfortable with an elastic waist. I have two pair of jeans. Now jorts-I wear those when I go out in the summer. I buy ones with an elastic waist. My sister laughs at me because supposedly only old ladies wear elastic waist jorts. I don't care-I'm more into comfort than fashion now.

 

[AppleDumpling]

Woman, and I wear jeans almost every day. They’re very comfortable to me, if they fit well. Can’t be too tight or too baggy. Admittedly, some are “mom jeans” that I’ve had for many years.

In warmer weather, I wear mostly shorter cropped jeans or capris, some denim, some a lighter cotton. Only wear shorts at home or the beach.

 

[loves to dive]

What? Women over 60 aren't supposed to wear shorts out in public? Never heard that one, but I have long hair also and that is supposed to be a no-no for older women. Don'y really care about these 'rules'.

There are all sorts of things women over certain ages aren't supposed to wear, I figure I've earned the right to wear whatever I'm comfortable in.

 

[CynBeth]

I am a woman and wear the elastic jeans usually 5 days a week for work.

 

[leebee]

I wear them all the time. I manage the organic chemistry student teaching labs, so there are frequent spills, stains, etc. I currently have 3 pairs of lab jeans- that have met some sort of lab tragedy- one pair that is headed to being "lab jeans," a pair I really like that I keep for going out, and 2 new pairs that I haven't decided about yet. Oh, and a black pair, just because. When I am home I change into leggings, and about once a month I'll wear leggings and a stretchy, flowy dress to work if I am not going to be in the lab but instead spending the day in my office, grading.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

Once a week.... every Friday. At work we have "jeans day" every Friday. I don't find them to be the most comfortable thing anyway, but I don't want to appear difficult and ungrateful.

 

[ncc1701]

This time of year everyday . I am retired , but even when I worked I'd change into my jeans when I got home. Even now if I need to wear something else I change back to jeans once home. Colors can be different shades of blue, gray or black.
Once warm weather hits , it will be shorts (some of them jean material ) or Capri pants.

 

[BayouQueen]

Fall, winter and spring I wear jeans almost every day — either black or blue ones. When summer comes , I switch to white knit kinda culotte shorts.
Creature of habit!

 

[mumto3girls]

A few days a week. I alternate with black stretchy yoga type pants which are actually more comfortable.

 

[ronandannette]

I wear jeans most days at this time of year, sometimes sweats if I'm not going anywhere, or black pants when I need to dress up a bit. I wear shorts most days in the summer, and occasionally skirts or dresses.

I have three pairs of jeans I actually like, but one is wearing out, and I'm not looking forward to having to find new ones.

Ah, I well know that sinking feeling when a loved piece of clothing is on its last legs and is old enough that you know you'll never find anything to exactly replace it. When I buy jeans in particular, it's because I "need" them and whenever possible I always get two pairs of the style that works; one in dark wash and one lighter.

 

[Forevermarypoppins]

I am a woman and RARELY do I wear them. SAD< because I own about 10 pair. Coincidentally, I just put on a pair a few days ago too. ( to see how they felt since I know I've added a few pounds to my frame). By late afternoon I was in my comfy pants!
In my entire lifetime I would say only 10% have I felt good wearing jeans.
