Clothing question 2 - jeans

[Parrothead]

Again, I'm realizing that I'm not mainstream when it comes to the SAHM "uniform." I wonder if there are others out there like me.

 

Jeans. I love my jeans. But I also love my slacks, my skirts, my capris, and on occasion my shorts.

 

How often do you wear jeans?

 

 

 

(Another poll coming. Stand by one.)

All day every day all winter. (well, almost). In the spring and fall, ditto. In the summer, I wear skirts mostly because they're cooler, and cause ya gotta wear 'em sometime, right? :lol:

Ditto for me. (Although, true confession time, today since I am packing and climbing a step ladder repeatedly while taking down curtains, I am wearing my jean capris instead of my usual summertime, floor-length skirt. :D)

[Lara in Colo]

I wear jeans if I go somewhere, but my "at home" outfit is shorts (usually tired comfy ones) for summer and I love love love my scrubs. I live in scrubs almost the entire year--you can add a turtle neck, or just an undershirt, or just the top. Cut off the legs and you have shorts. You can gain or lose 5lbs and not feel the difference (because they tie closed).

Thats me...scrubs and crocks.

[myfatherslily]

Almost every day. I have a few casual items that I wear sometimes and I mostly wear skirts/dress pants to church.

[KatDilan]

I used to be all about the jeans every day, but then I discovered I could wear yoga pants as pajamas and not have to change out of them to go out in the morning!

 

SOLD! :lol:

[Whereneverever]

I own one pair of jeans. I'd like to pick up another, though.

[mom32boys]

I love jeans, but also love yoga pants. Definitely shorts in the summer.

Up to last year I would have said I wear them every day but since i made myself a couple of pairs of soft fleece trousers and stocked up on yoga pants and leggings I mostly wear those. Usually with a vest top and a long sleeved t shirt and a couple of jumpers(I am always cold even in summer).

[Soror]

I love skirts, love, love, love them, I think they are so feminine and pretty. So, I try to wear skirts when the weather is the least bit decent(and I can tolerate a fair amount of coolness). I do not like ankle length skirts though, personally I find them very unflattering(especially for me although they are sometimes fine on others)- I like past my knee- to mid calf length. So, in the winter since I don't like long skirts, tall boots, or hose I feel the need to pants or slacks. I sometimes wear shorts or capris, currently favoring knee length shorts. Sometimes I am just in the mood for jeans though. At home I have work skirts(too stained or worn for out of the house wear). I generally prefer not to wear jeans around the house as I find them harder to work in although last year I started trying to wear them more in the colder weather, but I would wear my baggier ones.

[KidsHappen]

I only wear jeans when I am not wearing pajamas. :D

[Pink Fairy]

Jeans are uncomfortable to me. Around the house I wear shorts about 9 months of the year (California), and sweats the other three months.

[DaffodilDreams]

I own jeans, but I wear them less than once a week.

[eternalknot]

How often do you wear jeans?

 

 

I wear denim probably 2-3 times each week (in the form of pants, shorts, or skirts - no jumpers or jeggings, thankyouverymuch!) I travel for work and always bring jean pants or shorts because they pack easily and well.

 

But if you mean jeans jeans (denim pants) then I'd say I wear them about once a week, all seasons. I'm usually bloated the day I get home from a work trip, and jeans hide that best LOL.

[mommaduck]

I don't own a pair of jeans. But I do sometimes miss them. I've borrowed a pair here and there when necessary.

[silliness7]

Jeans are my favorite thing to wear (not in the summer) if I"m going out in public. If I'm staying home all day I wear fleece pants. I could live in those things. But on weeks I go out frequently I wear jeans frequently. They are not as comfortable as fleece pants though. I'm all about comfort. :001_smile:

[TheReader]

Every day in the cooler months.

 

Some of the time in the warm months, but mostly shorts. Sometimes skirts/dresses, which I'd like to get more of and wear more often, but everyone in my house thinks dresses are too dressy. I'm on a hunt for some good, obviously casual dresses that I can wear and start easing my boys into thinking dresses can be casual.

[Jenny in Florida]

I wear jeans if I go somewhere, but my "at home" outfit is shorts (usually tired comfy ones) for summer . . .

 

Me, too. I wear jeans occasionally, like maybe once a week if I'm going somewhere my shorts aren't appropriate. (Yep, I live in Florida. Jeans are my "dress-up" clothes.)

:iagree: totally dependent on season, activity and mood.

[Maus]

Pretty much live in my jeans except church, funerals, and weddings. (I do own a pair of black slacks, docker type, that I get out about twice a year for occasions that really seem to call for it -- mainly DH's company parties.)

 

I used to sometimes wear jeans shorts, or docker shorts, but all those silly little spider veins and what not that came with pregnancy and never went away left me too self-conscious to do that. (Most of my skirts for church are mid-calf or longer for the same reason.)

[Mom in High Heels]

I loves me some jeans! I have a drawer full of beautiful, expensive jeans that I can't wear right now and are just calling my name and asking why I haven't dropped the baby weight (and medicine weight) so I can wear them again! I do have other slacks that I wear, but usually I'm in jeans (with my heels of course).

[dangermom]

Nearly every day except for work and church. And in summer I often wear crop pants. I'm wearing jeans right now, though.

[chepyl]

I used to love my jeans. But recently I have started wearing skirts and casual (knit dresses) more. Other wise I wear my capris. I spend most of my time in work out type clothing that works for teaching dance. Plus, since having babies, I cannot find jeans that fit right!

Thank you, thank you! I am so glad I am not the only one! I have people give me a hard time because I don't find jeans comfortable. I will wear them in the winter/fall if I have to leave the house and look somewhat nice. Otherwise I wear cotton/yoga pants or cotton capris or sweatpants. I cannot wear jeans around my house to be comfy or clean in.

 

ETA: I do like cotton dresses too. I have 2 maxi type dresses that are ankle length and I like those for around the house. I had to go out today and we are in mid 90's heat, so I wore a knee length cotton dress.

I haven't worn jeans in 15 years. I always thought they were uncomfortable and changed out of them as soon as I got home. When I became a SAHM, I thought, "I *am* home, and I'm never wearing jeans again!"

[scmama]

I use to wear jeans every day, but since we are having these heat waves, I can't. I love jeans. During the winter, that's all I'm wearing.

[Mynyel]

I wear cotton shorts/pants or sweats at home, depending on the time of year. I wear jeans when I go out.

 

I haven't had to wear "fancy" clothes in years. I do own a couple nicer pairs of pants. Just don't wear 'em often.

[Parrothead]

Thanks everyone for participating. I don't feel so over dressed now.

[Tammyla]

I love my jeans, but like to mix it up now and then. If it's really hot, I prefer denim skirts over shorts. However, I grew up in the SW, so jeans aren't too hot for me most days.

[Mama Geek]

I wear mostly jeans in the winter and mostly shorts in the summer. I will wear slacks if we are going to meet up with husbands coworkers and I will get more dressed up for church.

[Ginevra]

I chose "mix it up," but the "other for summer" fits too. For all cooler seasons, I wear jeans about half the time and the other half docker-type or other cotton twill pants. I wear skirts and dresses to church almost always. In the heat, I wear casual skirts or shorts. As I get a little older, I'd rather wear skirts over shorts; shorts are really pretty unflattering unless you're 19. I don't ever wear unstructured bottoms (think yoga pants, knit shorts, sweats) out of the house.

[gaillardia]

Capris, skirts and dresses in the summer for me, but I still wear my jeans even if it's 90+.

Jeans most of the other time, I can't find other slacks or pants that I like.

I wear dresses or skirts to church on Sundays always.

[gardening momma]

At the moment, I don't own any jean shorts or capris that fit. I would wear them most days if I did. In cooler months I wear jeans every day, except for church.

[Denisemomof4]

I voted that I wear jeans almost exclusively unless it's summer. Occasionally I dress up to go out and will wear something nicer but not all that often.

 

I just want to say that the term "bottom clothing" really struck my funny bone. :lol::lol::lol:

[Heather in Neverland]

I only wear jeans when we go to the movies because the a/c is turned up so high I freeze. Other than that I am in shorts or skirts every day of the year.

[AngieW in Texas]

I wear my Lee denim bermuda shorts year-round. There are maybe 20-30 days each year when I wear jeans instead of shorts.

[greenvneck]

I wear jeans nearly every day in the cooler months, which is mostly November-February here. Otherwise, I wear denim capris or skirts. I don't know how anyone could survive through a Texas summer wearing jeans!

[Sasharowan]

I wear jeans most of the time. If we go someplace with swimming or something fancy like a wedding, then I'll wear something else.

[~Tara~]

I wear jeans a LOT. But when I have fitting capris I will wear them in the warmer weather. And as long as I have skirts, I will incorporate those once in a while too.

 

I fell in love with maxi dresses last summer while pg. Have a hard time wearing those now with a nursling....but have attempted to fill that void with flowy skirts. I have one that still mostly fits :p and bought one new this year. I will wear those around the house, to town, to church, whatever.

 

I'd wear the skirts more if I had a couple more to throw into the rotation ;)

 

But I wear my jeans a lot, throughout the year, even in AL summers.

How is she doing? Still progressing well?

[LostSurprise]

I used to wear jeans all the time, but my ageing body is readjusting itself so I need to wear a belt with the dang things.

 

So now I wear them 3-4x a week in the winter and not at all in the summer. My new love is knee-length skirts. And thigh-high socks in the fall/winter.

[Truscifi]

I love jeans. I wear them almost every day of our very short cold season. I also love capris, shorts, and cute dresses, but since it is too hot to wear jeans most of the year, they get priority in winter.

[Renthead Mommy]

In the summer, I wear skirts mostly because they're cooler, and cause ya gotta wear 'em sometime, right? :lol:

 

No you don't.

 

Jeans, jean shorts, jean capris.

 

And when we went to church pretty much everybody wore some form of jeans.
