Jeans are terrible, amirite?

Seriously I don't get it. My fiancée hates jeans too and I don't even notice how uncomfortable they are. First thing she does when she gets home is put on sweat pants and balks at me for not changing. I don't even notice.

I started wearing "soft" jeans from the Gap and accidentally ordered a regular pair. Was aghast at the material. I'm on Zoom calls, not trying to shoe a horse.

I'm guessing you're male and your fiancée is female? I think women's jeans are cut in a less comfortable way.

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

I'm a transman and I hated the fit on women's jeans despite being born with a female body. Loose in weird spots, tight in weird spots, even gave me UTIs. Women need to just go buy jeans from the men's sections.

Does it though? Men tend to have squishier balls than women.

Maybe I'm just a tiny-testicle lib, but jeans don't really push on my balls. At least if I'm not wearing skinny jeans, which, since 2020 or so, I don't.

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

Yeah but men's jeans tend to be looser fitting. Like I needed pants the other day and my only option for the store i was at was skinny jeans. (never again) they fit me great in the waist, so so in the crotch and upper thighs but then insanely tight in the calves, so much so that with every step, every knee bend its slowly rolling the pants down and I'm constantly battling against it by having to hoist and shimmy them back up every 10 mins. Of course the style of cut matters like boot cut is my spot because it tends to fit better in most places but when I was a teen I was super Tom boy and mostly wore men's clothes and the jeans were just more comfortable overall.

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

I have a similar issue with skinny jeans too! If they fit in the waist they're loose on my crotch and/or thighs. And they're almost always tighter on my calves, which pulls my pants down with every step too. I usually end up with jeans too tight on my waist, because otherwise I've got a weird combo fits, loose, tight that lets my calves pull my pants down quicker lol. I think jeans are made for only one combo of body parts, and if you don't have that, eff you.

Yeah, but men's jeans are way comfier. I'm female, but wear mens jeans because they fit so much better and are better material.

I find my normal clothes plenty comfy. I don't even own sweat pants or whatever, don't see the point. I've heard people say what you've said and wonder what part of their body is so uncomfortable in their regular clothes. Is a waist band thing?

I think properly fitting jeans are perfectly comfortable. Obviously sweatpants are comfier, but jeans that fit well are totally acceptable

by Living_Praline1261 2 weeks ago

Man here, so the answer might be different for your body, but baggy jeans hang off of my hips (often with a belt just above the hips, below my "waist," giving some extra support). Same idea as a skirt or shorts (assuming you don't wear tight shorts).

Not everything has to be comically comfortable, otherwise we'd all be running around in rabbit fur underwear.

I guess so, but jeans are usually casual anyway. That's why I said I'd rather wear leggings or sweatpants if the goal is being comfortable while still being somewhat fashionable.

I recently learned that jeans are treated as informal clothes and that in a lot of businesses they are only allowed on "jeans Fridays" and I just about died. Why would I want to wear jeans? I'm in complete agreement on this one.

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

Have my updoot. I really love jeans. I basically live in them. The less stretch they have, the better. I work a manual labor job, and if I'm not wearing jeans, I'm wearing Duluth flex firehose cargo pants. I think different clothes fit different body shapes in different ways. I have found very few brands of leggings that don't give me cameltoe, which I find extremely uncomfortable, while a lot of other women don't seem to have that problem at all.

Jeans are the worst type of pants in existence imo. I would literally rather wear dress pants in a casual setting than jeans.

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

Exactly! I think a lot of people are just fat phobic and look for any excuse to be insulting. I also think jeans are really uncomfortable but it's more because of the way they feel on my skin, not because they're tight but because of the way denim feels (to me!!!) Getting home and taking any denim off is the best feeling

by barrettharvey 2 weeks ago

I never get how jeans (some kind of trousers designed to work in) became so popular for casual things. Or even mandatory for people like teachers (at least in most german kindergartens) when sweatpants arent only more comfortable but also more healthy for you

I feel that it's a younger people thing. As I got a bit older I couldn't stand jeans even though I used to wear them all the time. Even nice tighter pants that fit well make me want to crawl up the wall. I can't stand the tightness and fabric. If the material is stretchy I can stand a bit tight but my legs muscles end up being locally sore or burning. Maybe it's a medical issue? Or maybe it's the "skinny jeans" fashion. Dude, I was skinny like 90 pounds in my 20s and still couldn't get their smallest sizes on. That's around the time I gave up. The ones that are not skinny are hard to find, super baggy or mommy jeans- just don't fit right.

Around the house or just running a quick errand - sure I'll wear sweats or leggings. But if I'm going somewhere - even our little corner bar for a meal and a beer with my husband - I'll wear jeans. I have several well fitting pairs. It takes some time and try-ons before you find ones that fit they way you like. I prefer a mid-rise because I have a short torso and high waist jeans are uncomfortable because of where they sit. A straight leg or boot leg work best on me but baggy fit jeans can work though they're not super flattering on me. To me jeans go with nearly everything I own and depending on the wash and the cut, can be acceptable nearly everywhere I go - dressed up or down.

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

To broadly generalize, there are three criteria that an article of clothing will attempt to satisfy: Appearance Comfort Durability Denim jeans are pretty good at all three of those. Most people should own at least one pair of jeans for those occasions where all three of those criteria need to be addressed. That said, if you only need to fulfill one or two of those criteria, there are other articles of clothing that will be more than "pretty good" than denim jeans are, so people who can sacrifice one or two of the other criteria may prefer to wear some other kind of pant

I live in Houston and there is nothing worse than being caught out in jeans on a hot, humid day. Peeling sweaty, skintight jeans off at the end of the day is so unpleasant. I switched to flowy, elastic-waist linen pants year-round and I don't know if I'll ever wear another pair of jeans.

Only ever worn jeans once. And that was dragged into them kicking and screaming by my mum, on the promise that if i didn't like them i would never have to wear them ever again. And i haven't. Horrible things. Also, people rebel against uniforms at school, and the first thing they want to do is wear the jeans uniform that everyone else wears. I don't get it.
