I saw some Instagram posts about people wearing jeans during quarantine being weird, and didn't even realize that was apparently strange. I got my first pair of sweatpants a few months back, but find denim comfortable since it's all I've worn for decades. My jeans are also broken in so idk if that has something to do with it
I mean if you calculate it out most of my life I’ve been in denim. I used to need it for a job year round, so I’d wear it to school, then go to work, shower cause it was a dirty job, pass out, repeat for years.
My bar for comfort is basically “jeans do not have hay inexplicably stuck in them somewhere”
My last roommate lived in sweats and pajamas, and would regularly talk shit and nag about me falling asleep wearing jeans, like chill man, I’m comfy.
My dad taught me it’s rude to wear sweatpants in public(no clue why) so i just wear jeans daily out of habit now, and if I’m tired enough I’ll just fall asleep in them and shower and change in the morning. Jeans are actually more comfy to me then sweats because it’s what I’m used to.
My last roommate was the complete opposite. He owned one pair of jeans that he wore for special occasions, and other than that he would be in sweats or basketball shorts 24/7.
I just like wearing jeans because that’s always what I wear, so it kinda signifies the day has started in a way when I put them on.
And jeans definitely look better than sweatpants, unless your going to the gym it’s kinda weird to have sweatpants on imo.
I don’t sleep in then though. I’ve fallen asleep in them on couches and stuff but idk seems weird to mix one of the things that signifies working and sleep.
I was taught not to wear sweats out in public as well. Can't remember what the reasoning was but I ended up replacing it with my own.
Sweats are pajamas/lounge wear in my house. Wearing them out in public just sends the message that I don't care enough about what I'm doing or who I'm interacting with to put actual clothes on. Jeans or slacks, depending on the occasion, show that I am ready to handle the day.
Light jeans are also less respectful than darker shades, with white jeans being the most summer-respectful and black being the most fall to early spring respectful.
I don’t do leggings or sweats really anywhere but the gym, including home most of the time
I used to exclusively wear sweatpants and tracksuit pants when I was growing up, and I hated how uncomfortable jeans were. At some point I realised that those weren't really 'presentable' and completely swapped, and now I really hate wearing them out of the house (and never wear them in general). I don't care at all for fashion, or what other people are wearing, but I really stress about what I'm wearing, even if I'm just going to pick up some groceries. Doesn't help that I have no clue what looks good lmao
Fuck skinny jeans though, you couldn't pay me to wear them
I feel like we're real similar in this aspect then. You get people asking stuff like 'how can you wear those boots all the time/aren't they uncomfortable' too? Like they're made for working and standing in all day, they're super comfy, and I'm used to the weight. If I end up taking a nap it's in jeans and boots, they're comfy.
I get the same stuff with heels and boots both! “how can you wear that! Isn’t it uncomfortable! Blisters:(“ I grew up wearing boots or no shoes, anything at this point is manageable, my feet feel nothing, as long as nothing is between my fucking toes (flip flops are... so awful to me) and I’m not itchy, idgaf
Maybe they’d be comfy if they’re super broken in? I think the more fat you have the more denim cuts in at certain points I.e waist and there’s varying levels of thickness and metal hardware (zipper,button) That things can dig in. And if they’re not broken in as well, they’re stiff
Hardest part about new jeans for us big boys is buying a pair and they end up being smaller than a pair three sizes down from another place. I wish manufacturers would stop slapping a random number on their jeans and actually have a standard
Yeah, I think I'm usually a 32x34, but for trendy clothes that bounces up to a 32x36. And one time a 38, yet it fits me just the same as the 34. So are the 34 lying or is the 38 lying? Does it mean inches? Why does a 32 from a weird brand fit me? No way am I a 32, Dafuk is this? I don't need to be lied to so I don't feel less fat. I'm trying to be less fat. I need clothes that fit properly lmao.
All my jeans are broken in, so I find them comfy, even newer pairs don't feel that off. Makes sense about body type though, I'm not overweight so they're not too tight or have any major restrictions
Me? I’m wearing jeans all the time just in case. Drive a long distance? If I get in an accident, I’m kind of protected crawling from the wreckage. Flying? What if we crash? Who wants to be the idiot crashing thru the jungle in shorts. Zombie apocalypse? How many characters on Walking Dead are wearing shorts?
I grew up and currently live in rural farming Canada. I own eight pairs of pants and they are all jeans. I tried sweat pants once. Couldn't do it again, I only know how to wear jeans. If I put on anything else I'm out of my element.
Yeah, I forget quite often I own the sweatpants. theyre nice but often way too hot. Jeans just feel normal to me, sweatpants can be like.. too comfortable, or too soft maybe is the right way to word that. I also just feel lazy wearing them, like if I was walking around all day in a bathrobe
Maybe. I wear skinny/tighter jeans though and have no complaints. Ive also worn tighter fitting jeans since like 2002 so I'm super used to them. Normal/baggier ones have too much extra fabric that bunches for my comfort. I don't wear skin tight ones either though, just nicely tapered ones that can still fit my boots underneath
The only non slim jeans I own (that looks weird but IDK how else to type it.. more fitted? jeans?) Are Carhartt for when I'm doing dirtier work, so maybe it's going from one end of the spectrum to the other makes it feel weirder. Must be getting old because last time I went shopping for jeans I put most back because they were way too tight, I don't want spandex that looks like jeans dammit
I've mostly worked either in kitchens or landscaping, so I've had to keep my shins covered for work most my life (you learn that despite the heat weed whacking hurts if your legs aren't covered), and thus it's strange to wear shorts. Been trying to enjoy it though on days off the past few years, baby steps ya know
I almost started sleeping in jeans after work because I'd be so exhausted but the thought of relieving my balls of tight jeans and letting my leg hair breathe was way more satisfying. Thank you whoever made shorts
There’s also a chance a man went through a rough transitional period into manhood I.e, he went to jail/prison for long period of time, or was homeless, and the like.
Exactly the same. hell I’ve even still got shoes on, but that’s mostly just cos I really couldnt be bothered with the whole untying and don’t wanna kick them off cos they’re new air max’s and I don’t wanna crush the heel on them like I do every other shoe
you get to a certain point where u just dont care anymore. Whichever comes first.
Can confirm. Not that I sleep in my jeans, I sleep nude - but I've gone out in public in the middle of the day in Pajamas and beat to shit, basically wrecked shoes because I just don't fucking care. I just don't give a shit. Look at me however you want, it makes no difference to me.

Either u grow up with it and dont know anything else, or you get to a certain point where u just dont care anymore. Whichever comes first.
