Are Jeans becoming unfashionable?

[Ace Modder]

Hi guys.

Last weekend I went for a meal for my Dad's 70th birthday. There were about 20 of us, half being men roughly.

All the guys over 60 had Jeans on, all the people under 60 had other trousers like Chinos or cords etc on instead.

Are Jeans becoming unfashionable for none pension age people now, and more something that "old" people wear.

No pants is better than Jeans

I'm 32, when I'm out I'll just wear nice jeans

 

[uber soldat]

I hope not, otherwise I've just aged a few decades by wearing them.

I only ever wear jeans. The cheaper the better. Unless I'm told not to. Then I get upset.

 

[robfosters]

Not a fan of jeans. Never found them comfortable tbh. I like chinos and cargos, or plain old joggers for everyday wear.

the problem is good jeans, and i mean properly good jeans are very expensive now.

there is a huge amount of cheap rubbish in the sub £100 bracket and i think people got wise to it.

Sorry, there are jeans available for over £100?!
I ignore pairs over £15..

I spent most of last year mostly in chinos and didn't miss jeans. I've worn them a bit again lately though.

This is the kind of stuff I've been wearing lately instead of Jeans.

Vs Jeans like this:

yes, look up iron heart jeans, samurai jeans, full count jeans, momotaro jeans, pure blue japan jeans, oni jeans, there are a load of other brands also that cost £180 - £300+

Christ, I nearly had an aneurism reading that.
I'd probably need a mortgage at the rate I ruin clothes.

I have a pair of Lee jeans somewhere that I’ve owned for at least a decade.

They might get an outing once in while duringwinter, but they’re far too hot and restricted for our 40°C summers.

Chinos for smart, cargos for everything else.

Many years ago I decided to only wear Levis and band merch.

Wear what you want.

I'm like an all year round shorts guy, I gave a few pairs of combat trousers I wear if it's really cold, like when I was in Finland and it was -22c.

Stuff that’s too big for you?

Stuff that’s too big for you?

I was waiting for a comment like that, I have a big waist but slim legs etc, I find clothes almost impossible to fit perfectly. I'm working on it though.

I know the sizing isn't quite right for me in the leg.

I rarely wear jeans now a days... not been out (drinking/partying) much so I don't know what I would wear, last few times was full suite and tie affairs.

I tend to wear shorts of different lenghts for 3/4 of the year then trackie bottoms pulled up for the 1/4 of the year when it's really cold. The joys of working from home.

When I do pop into the office I do tend to wear chinos or bootcut jeans.

I think there's an been a bit of an issue where blokes have been wearing skin tight jeans and they was the only type the was widely avaiable... but thankfully baggy jeans are making a slow come back, girls seem to have loads avaiable and I've managed to pick up a pair or two of blokes jeans.

Levis need to bring back reserved engineer jeans... I've have ripped and binned 4 of the 5 pairs that I've had. I would just buy 30 pairs to see me out for the rest of my life... they are selling for stupid prices on ebay now.
