How many jeans do you have

I know this question has been asked before. I have just found the magic jeans (james jeans curvy) as I call them and have gone from having 2 pair that were kinda sort of okay that I never wore to 6 pair - retiring those 2 pair.
Now I do see jeans as being a major part of my summer look - jeans and a topper.
Really how does a non-jean wearing gal go to owning 6 pair of jeans and they are the first thing I reach for on Saturdays now.

Haha! I don't wear denim, but have 4 pairs of black jeans. No idea where they came from. Haha!

I have quite a few fake ones, tho. Jeggings really. Black and patterned. Maybe 12 - 18 depending on what you count as jeans.

ETA: More colours if you count the jeggings. 5 actual denim.

Daria

Maybe 10-12 pairs. I love jeans.

I love jeans. I love all denim. And I don't actually have that many pairs of jeans. I have 4 pairs of jeans and one pair only fits on a day when 5 pounds happens to disappear for no reason. That is unlikely and more likely that 5 pounds will appear in the next 5 minutes.

I have 3 pair in rotation - boyfriend, straight leg, and bootcut. I would like to add a white pair if I can ever find ones that work.

I have 2 that fit right now, and 5 that don't. It was a tough winter around here.

red - 1 straight

2! Black skinnies and mid blue straight legs. I'd quite like a couple more pairs but I struggle to find ones that fit my pear shape x

10 pairs of skinny jeans - 7 blue denim, 3 pairs of white
5 bootcut - 3 blue denim 1 black and 1 white
1 - Wide leg trouser jeans
1 - Boyfriend
Yikes do I have a problem or what ??
The pairs that I really don't seem to wear are the boyfriend ( uncomfortable) and the white bootcut and a pair of the skinny's( tight ).
I really don't need that many

I think I have 20 or 30 pairs. But I'd better go count now!

Have you ever seen those drawings/paintings of dragons with their hoards? Just picture me, surrounded by heaps of denim, cooing 'my precious'...

Seriously, somewhere in the 15-20 range, depending on what's fitting me right now and whether you count shorts and crops made from denim.

Yikes! Counting blue, red, white, gray, black and taupe straight legs, skinnies, boot cuts, jeggings, boyfriends and cropped, I have 35. I wear them year-round for work at home, and about half of them are suitable for some of my client meetings. About 5 of these are in the dog walking/lounge/yard work category (not leaving the house).

"Jeans" to me means blue denim. So while I have black and white denim too, in my mind they are pants not jeans. Which means that I would say that I have 7 pairs of jeans. I also have 2 pairs of white denim pants and 1 pair of black jeggings. And I don't count the pairs that I've cut off to wear Bermuda length. Those are shorts

I own more than I will ever need and now I am interested in the white bootcuts from Angie's blog.
Now even my old high waist jeans are back in style...
You are in more than good company.

5 "nicer" pairs- cobalt blue flares, blue relaxed skinnies, blue boyfriend, blue super skinny, white straight legs

and one pair of skinnies for dirty work around the property/house

old chic

It's funny, from my youth in the 60s through about 2000, I basically never wore jeans. Since I retired from full-time work a few years ago, they are practically all I wear (though Staysfit definitely has me beat by a mile):

8 pairs of black skinnies and cigarettes
3 white skinnies, 1 white boyfriend (jeans
Flares in coral, turquoise and gold
1 pair grey denim
1 pair ink denim

I have 5 pairs:

Black skinnies
Blue boyfriend
Blue straight leg
Petrol blue Coated straight leg
Blue Flares/Bootleg

I think this is the right number of pairs but three of these are becoming less than ideal.

Blue Straight leg- losing shape quickly, internal pockets ripped
Coated Straights - whiskering marks, always dig in on hips
Flares - have realised through YLF they are a smidgeon short and so I only have one pair of shoes to wear them with, and I prefer them with a higher heel.

In an ideal world I would add two new pairs (straight and bootleg or flares) but I suspect I will only add one pair this winter.

I have three - a grey, a mid-blue & a white. I just let go of my dark wash - I bought them so I would have a "dressier" option but I always seem to reach for my tux pants or harems.

None.

always trying

15 blue denim, 2 white, 1 black, 1 burgundy and 1 that are called jeans, but are straight leg pull on in and off white color.

How do you all afford so many when you but $100.00 plus jeans??

Veteran

Well, let me count. I wear jeans almost everyday.
1 black waxed
1 dark trouser
1 white
1 robin's egg blue
1 medium blue bootcut
2 medium blue BFs
1 dark skinny (needs hemming)
Now what I actually wear ...
Light blue BFs
Light blue skinnies
Medium blue skinnies
2 dark skinnies

Total? 13

6 identical pair dark wash INC skinny jeans w/ some light fading on the upper leg region--wear pretty much year round

3 pair juniors bootcut levi's for motorcycle riding or with a pair of espadrilles and a sleeveless summer top

sad? pathetic? Sad and Pathetic? At least I am effecient.

I am looking to find something else to wear other than my 9 pr of jeans....
