I'm not really a 'Jeans' person, but I have owned a couple of pairs that I loved, and still do love.
This picture below must have been taken when I was about 10 (I'm the one on the right; the other is my French friend Didier with our cat 'Tiddles').
The Jeans I'm wearing were just the nicest pair of trousers I've ever owned. They were loose fitting, comfortable, and I considered them to be really cool. I loved them, and was almost overcome with apoplexy when they eventually became too small for me.

Since those days I've not really worn Jeans. But back in about 2017 I bought TWO pairs from my local Leclerc supermarché, for the staggering price of 6.35 Euros each (that's about £5 each). I could hardly refuse!
I don't wear them too often, but I probably should. Like my first ever pair, they are loose-fitting, and comfortable. They are pukka 'Jeans colour', and have aged naturally. They may not be trendy skinny Jeans, or even bell-bottoms; they have an anonymous quality about them. They blend into the background. Amazingly they have no rips in the knees, or elsewhere.
Here I am, just back from a walk with Billy; cane in hand, and wearing my trusty Jeans. I do look a bit like a labourer.
They may not be trendy, or expensive, or even particularly attractive, but I do like them.
Jeans must be the most diverse of all items of clothing. They come in all shapes, sizes, colours, and states of repair. Some people spend their whole lives in them, others may have twenty pairs in their cupboards that they treat like Works of Art.
Do you wear Jeans?
Viva Levissimo!
I haven't worn means since I was in my 20's as I'm very short and wide, they really don't suit me.
ReplyDeleteLady M doesn't wear Jeans either; I don't know why!
DeleteI think ladies all wear trousers of some discription these days, including jeans. I have stretchy leggings to wear at home but wear a skirt to go out in. I hate to see older ladies in jeans trying to look trendy. But they suit men of all ages.
ReplyDeleteIt does seem that Jean-wearing has a different age limit between men and women. Men just don't care what they look like!
DeleteI rarely wear anything else but for some reason I've never had a denim jacket. I do have a dark tan pair for best but I don't consider those as jeans.
ReplyDeleteI do have a denim jacket, but bought for the same reason as my Jeans; it was amazingly cheap!
DeleteI lived in jeans in my youth as it seems did most people. I stopped at a certain age never to wear them again.
ReplyDeleteI stopped after the age of 10 simply because I couldn't find a good enough replacement for my Jeans above.
DeleteI was never a jeans wearer. They always seem to make me look scruffy.
ReplyDeleteLuckily I always look scruffy, so it doesn't matter.
DeleteMy husband has never worn jeans, not even when he was at college in the 60s!
ReplyDeleteThat shows determination! He must be one of very few.
DeleteI never normally check out men's crotches but did you have a cucumber in your pocket?
ReplyDeleteNo, I was just pleased to know that you'd leave a comment.
DeleteI have never not had a favourite pair of jeans, from about the age of 16.
ReplyDeleteI can understand that. They can become like a second skin!
DeleteI still have a couple of pair that I wear while working in the garden, so they're properly baggy and scruffy. Otherwise, they're never worn which means they sit in the cupboard clean and folded all winter long taking up space. I used to live in them until I grew up and discovered they're really not very comfortable. I think we ladies of a certain age find that to be the case against them.
ReplyDeleteMuch like a pair of shoes, they probably have to be worn constantly for several years before they become REALLY comfortable.
DeleteI wear them all winter long, I am about to slip on a pair and go the farmers market.
ReplyDeleteI'm just back from dog-walking, but a Farmer's Market sounds very good.
DeleteA friend and I were talking about jeans the other day. Back in the 70s we hardly wore anything else and thought we'd be wearing jeans till the very end. But both of us now much refer nice soft stretchy trousers. I wear leggings mostly. They're so darn comfortable.
ReplyDeleteStill love jeans but if I wear them again they'll be stretchy faux denim.
Yours look great.
I think that's my wife's attitude too. Comfort above all.
DeleteI wear jeans most days - Whatever catches my attention in a charity shop - As I'm usually jumped at by my dogs I find them ideal - Too wide a leg style and it's difficult to get them in wellies which I need - plus I find the wide ones dangerous as I get does caught up and trip - You wear yours with a certain relaxed elegance - flis x
ReplyDeleteToes trip - flis x
DeleteMine are a bit wide for my tight wellies, but I manage! Luckily it doesn't rain too much.
DeleteLove the turn ups
