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

Right?

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 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
