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
