So they say that the average American has seven pairs of jeans. I wonder how many people have that many... and what about in other countries?

How many do you have? Do you have a favorite type/brand? Bootcut? Regular? Skinny? Jeggings? Mom jeans? What about jean capris or shorts? Jean jacket? Are jeans part of your official wardrobe? Can you wear them to work if you work outside the home?

Is wearing jeans in your genes?

I have 4 pairs that I rotate. 2 are the same Arizona bootcut jeans, but dark blue & light blue. One is a good old pair of Mom jeans, They're supposed to be skinny jeans, but they don't fit me like that. One pair of American Eagle capris. They have that torn/distressed look. They're my go to on hot days. I have a bunch of those Old Navy colored Rockstar jeans, but I don't consider those jeans. I may or may not have 3 different shades of yellow.

I have 3 or 4 pairs, I guess. I've fluctuated a lot, weight-wise, in the last few years (although in a good direction this year -- yeah!!) so I haven't really invested in buying some good jeans until I finally get to a stable weight. I have one 'good' pair that are skinny jeans from Target; the others are old/hand-me-downs/fugly.

Gosh I probably have 7 pairs of blue denim jeans and another dozen in other colours. My favourites are my Ed Hardy jeans.

 

[IntenseMagic]

I have about six, I think. One good darker blue straight leg that I wear to work on Fridays, three pairs of skinny jeans..two blue (one with holes in the knees and thighs) and one black, and two old ratty pairs that I wear bumming around and are almost bell bottoms...my "hippie jeans". All but the last two are American Eagle. It's the only brand I can find that I really like.

1 dark blue, 1 light blue, 1 black, 1 denim shorts, 1 denim skirt
I'm not picky. If they aren't skin tight, don't fall down, and have usable pockets of reasonable size, I'm good.

I'm lucky to work in a small office with no real dress code. Jeans are a staple to my wardrobe from like Octoberish to March, after that in Orlando it's too flippin' hot for jeans. I have about 10 pair in there, skinny ones, a flare and some bootcut. I like my jeans from Chico's and there are some other brand that fit well, too. I have one pair of capris and two shorts for running around in the summer. I also love white jeans but for some reason have the hardest time having them comfortable, must be the wash on them.

 

[Lindzee]

I have quite a few pairs myself. Some more dressy for work - one pair I've had since before my kids were born (that's over 30 years)
two jean shorts, a couple of "jean" denim blazers, one "official" jean jacket, some Capri's and maybe somewhere deep in the closet I jean skirt. Too many for sure, but I rotate and wear them..

 

[Mrivas]

I have about 10 and I wear them all the time. I also have four jean shorts. My fave brand is American Eagle Outfitters, I just know they're going to fit me in my size that when buy them I don't have to try them on anymore. I love the skinny and bootcut kinds.

 

[Karen]

I love jeans, but I always have a hard time finding ones that fit my curvy booty. I like Lee jeans most of the time because they fit, but I also like Calvin Klein. I'm also lucky enough to be able to wear jeans to work. I have many pairs, but most of them don't fit me at the moment. sigh.

 

[KarenW]

I have 6 or so pairs of jeans - mostly skinny because very unlike the rest of me, my legs are a bit scrawny. I live in jeans or black leggings in winter, occasionally wearing my sole denim skirt for variety.

My kids all hate wearing jeans, my daughter has recently acquired a couple of pairs but the two boys won't go near them.

 

[Amson]

I have 4 pairs; all boot leg and cheap. I'm not really fussy as long as they fit OK. Summer is too hot here for jeans so I only wear them in colder months.

 

[jaye]

I have 5 pair, 2 boot cut , 1 boyfriend and 2 straight leg all from Old Navy.
Capris I have 4 pair with pair being just above the ankles.
Shorts I have 3 pair, 1 pair Bermuda, 1 pair mid thigh and 1 pair just a bit shorter.

 

[Danyale]

hmmm, I have a few in my current size and a ton of boyfriend levi's in the size I am getting down too. I like them loose, even the capris. #babygotback - jus' sayin'

 

[jenn mccabe]

oh my goodness ... i have at least a dozen that fit me right now, and probably another dozen that are a size smaller ( i fluctuate a lot!) so i hold on to them all! and that's not including the jean shorts and denim skirts. wearing jeans is pretty much getting dressed up for me. right now i have a pari of boyfriend fit ralph lauren's that are really lightweight that are my current fave.

 

[ashleywb]

I could live in jeans. I have several pairs but my faves are a skinny jean from Target and a bootcut by Seven for all Mankind.

 

[jk703]

I love jeans. LOVE. I have too many to count. BUT... I pry rotate between 6 pairs of them - mostly Gap kind. Mostly bootcut too!

 

[bderby]

I am a fan of the jean as well and for the most part, I tend to rotate through a few solid pairs I have had for a few years from Gap. I did get a pair from American Eagle last year that I like for the most part. I get frustrated with how stretched out the most recently purchased jeans get and I like skinny jeans but I don't want them skin-tight and legging material--I sound a bit high maintenance in the jean department.

I also have a pair of Kenneth Cole boot cut jeans that I bought almost 13 years ago that I still wear. They are thicker and so definitely only in winter and are a dressier jean. So, it helps that I don't throw them on with everything, but I feel good about them!

 

[scrappyjedi]

No jeans for me! I've just never felt comfortable in them- too thick, too heavy, and they tug oddly behind my knees. I mostly live in running shorts until it's just tooooo cold not to. I wear khakis to work.
