Do you have a Favourite Pair of Jeans?

I wonder if everyone else becomes as attached to their jeans as I do? I find it really hard to find jeans that fit me and are comfortable, so when I find some I hate to give them up. My favourite make is Levi, because when I buy the waist and leg size which works for me I know they will be snug where they are supposed to be snug and loose where they are supposed to be loose. I love picking up a pair of jeans and knowing they will fit. But the jeans that are absolutely the best are a pair which you've had for ages and are so comfortable you hardly feel them. I have a pair of Levis which have been patched so many times the knees are now stiff! They've gone through at the knees and butt so many times! They're work jeans now, obviously, but I wear them whenever they are not on the washing line.I'll be bereft when they finally need to hit the rag bag! Do you have a favourite pair of jeans? Why do you like them so much? And how long will you hang onto them for?

hi! in my personal experience it's hard to find the right pair of jeans that would provide comfort and style and that would fit nicely with my body curves. so whenever i find one, it will definitely go to my favorite rack. and i wear it every chance i get until it reaches a worn-out feel that is so soft to the touch it doesn't feel like jeans at all. hehe my favorite pair is running 4 years now. it has the best snug fit on my butt and hips.

Four years is really good. I would have worn a hole in the knees long before that!

I had a beloved pair , they were the right shade of dark blue. They were Lee brand but... I lost weight and they became too big so I had to let them go. Now I have a couple of pairs from Wrangler . i never have a problem with fit. I wear guy jeans so all I have to do is go in and look for my waist size and inseam.With losing weigh I had to get new jeans. I now have about three different brands but Wrangler is the best.

I wear guy jeans when I have a choice. I'm not very curvy so they fit me better than women's ones which are often very low on the hips which annoys me.

Hello greenmoo, i think everyone will have such right, or may be, because jeans are the comfort part of dressing, i like my pepe jeans a lot, and i feel much comfortable with it.

Jeans used to be just work clothes of course as they're so tough, but of course now everyone wears them.

Yes I did and I got them at a thrift store and my husband was cleaning out the closet last weekend and I am so mad at him he threw them out because they had a little rip in them. Oh well I had them for like 3-4 years but they were my favorite!! I lie Levi Jeans too!

My partner wouldn´t dare clean out my wardrobe, but as least your husband was trying to be helpful.

I keep jeans forever! I've had the same pairs of jeans from when I was 19 and two sizes smaller. For one thing, I keep the jeans because I of course plan to fit into them again someday. I do think it's possible, but we'll see in the future I guess! Also, they have really pretty embroidered designs on them that I can't find in stores anymore. And of of course I keep every pair of jeans I come across now because jeans are my main article of clothing that I wear everyday. I don't feel as comfortable in anything else. There always is that one special pair of jeans I hold onto the most too and the wear in them is always apparent... Once you find a comfortable pair of jeans you just never want to let them go!

Could you try embroidering some designs on jeans yourself? I've seen home decorated jeans which have been fabulous and of course unique.

A favorite, no, but anytime I can find jeans that come up to my waist, I am happy. I hate that low waisted stuff.

It´s SO uncomfortable, I agree. I spend all my time trying to haul them up ...

Hi there, yes I have a favorite pair of jeans. It is from Terranova. I bought it two months ago using my own moolah. It costs PHP 999(sale). I love it because it suits me very well unlike my other pair of jeans that are too tight on my legs. it is very comfortable. i don't have a hard time moving from one place to another. my second favorite pair of jeans is from Mango. i like to pair with my favorite havaianas flip flops. it is comfortable too... i am planning to get a new pair next month. i need more pairs since i have monday and saturday classes wherein we are required to wear dress-down clothes. :)

there's nothing worse than badly fitting jeans though. they look and feel terrible.

Yup, its torn now but i still wear it. :p Since its my favorite and the only jeans i like. They are soft and the perfect type( i don't know what its called though, its the one which is tighter at feet)ok so, its also kinda like skinny jeans, but not too skinny which makes it just perfect to be my favorite jeans :p

Jeans soften with age. i think there's nothing worse than stiff new ones!

Especially women I think will all have a favorite pair. I have 2 pair that I know will totally wear out, I wear them all the time. I go a few years without any after they were out and then I finally find a pair that fit good and I try to find the same pair soon after and even if they are the same size and everything, they never seem to fit the same. Bummer huh. Yes, we love a good pair of jeans.

Mine never last as long as I´d like as I tend to go through the knees so fast.

Different brands fir different people better. If they're that good, perhaps youought to buy a second pair before they change the fit!

I have a pair of jeans that I only wear. I have a few other pairs, but they just don't fit me the same for some reason. I'll go weeks without washing them, unless they somehow get very dirty.
@GreenMoo (11833)

I'm afraid my lifestyle means my clothes get dirty so quick I can't get away with not washing mine unless I'm designating them work jeans (in which case they run away from the water!).
