Like Suz said, denim is a great mixer. That said. I'm trying to step up the style now by wearing non-denim "jeans" to work. NYDJ provides me with plenty of options. I have difficulty dressing too casually, and still wear dress pants to mix things up a bit. Also, I make sure my tops, shoes or boots, and jewelry are dressier so the overall look is smart casual. Lastly, my work clothes also get worn on weekends, so most of my wardrobe has a low CPW.</p> <p>My advice to you is to have as many or as few jeans (maybe none) as your lifestyle, personality and storage space dictates. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-1427070 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 20:36:25 +0000 Gaylene 1427070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Suz is right in saying our wardrobes ought to reflect our needs instead of some arbitrary formula. Honestly, if I had to, I could happily live in nothing but jeans, a few T's and sweaters, a pair or two of boots, and a couple of jackets. I rarely wear lounge clothes, don't particularly like leggings, and my skirts and dresses can hang for months on end in my closet. I have to remind myself to buy, and wear, pants other than jeans now that I am retired. </p> <p>I think my predilection for jeans comes from an active lifestyle, an environment where EVERYONE wears jeans constantly, and a jeans-friendly IT shape. Skirts and dresses are much harder to fit, while a well-fitting jean is a no-brainer. </p> <p>My current jean count, after a huge wardrobe purge due to a move, is around 8 pairs. The rest of my wardrobe consists of three dresses (one casual, two dressy), two skirts (one summer and one winter), a pair of shorts, a pair of cotton crops, and two pairs of dressy pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-1427059 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 20:08:15 +0000 Meredith 1427059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm another who makes do with just a few pairs. I wear jeans everyday, but I only have four pairs-straight (dark), skinny (dark, burgundy), boyfriend (light). Do they offer all the variety in the world? No, but four has always felt more than sufficient. In all fairness, I do have a few other old pairs lying around, but I rarely wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-1427039 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 19:20:22 +0000 trekkiegirl 1427039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking at this from a minimalistic perspective, one casual pair and one dressy pair, in whatever style you feel most comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-1427000 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 18:33:53 +0000 rizamei 1427000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ann - my lifestyle sounds a lot like yours. I rarely wear jeans to work, and on work days, I generally&nbsp;come home and change into comfy lounge clothes. While I like wearing jeans, they are pretty much&nbsp;for weekends. I usually wear them 2-3 times before washing, depending on how much they stretch.&nbsp;I have three pairs at the moment and that feels like plenty: black skinny, dark blue straight leg, and dark blue bootcut.&nbsp;</p> <p>I probably could get away with just two pairs, one black and one blue. Having a third pair feels like an indulgence given how often I end up wearing them. I only end up wearing jeans often&nbsp;over an extended period of time&nbsp;if I'm on vacation and not at work. That's when having the third pair helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-1426979 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 17:33:04 +0000 Aziraphale 1426979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since you asked what we all have, I will list mine, but I think I 'need' more than you do since jeans are the mainstay of my wardrobe.</p> <p>- six pairs of skinnies: medium blue wash, dark indigo wash, army green (not denim, but jeans cut), grey wash, solid black, and distressed blue wash (i.e. with small rips)</p> <p>- three pairs of slim boyfriends (slouchy skinnies) that I wear rolled up: medium blue wash, dark indigo wash, light blue wash (in a lighter weight denim, for summer)</p> <p>- four pairs of straight leg jeans: distressed grey wash with rolled hems (but even rolled up, they are full-length), two pairs of relaxed blue wash ones that I wear as scrubs, and one pair of dark indigo ones that I almost never wear because they stretch and slide down!</p> <p>- one pair of bootcuts in a medium blue wash (which I rarely wear)</p> <p>- two pairs of wide leg jeans: one very casual&nbsp;light wash pair, hemmed for flats (worn in the summer only, with flat sandals) and one 'trouser cut' in a darker wash, hemmed for heels (worn in the fall/winter/spring)</p> <p>So, sixteen pairs. I feel like I 'need' them all except perhaps the indigo straight legs because they are made of some kind of crappy denim that stretches too much. I'm only holding onto them until I find a replacement, but I'm in no rush, because I'm wearing my skinnies and boyfriend skinnies far more often these days.</p> <p>If I had to pare down my jeans to just a handful, I'd have two pairs of slouchy skinnies (one blue and one dark), a couple pairs of proper skinnies (but not sausage-casing tight!), and one pair of trouser cut jeans in a dark wash. Does that help? I'd also buy the best I could afford. My premium denim jeans are way nicer than my non-premium ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-1426967 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 17:20:07 +0000 Anonymous 1426967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-1426929 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 16:28:47 +0000 Suz 1426929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Lisa, Peri, StyleFan, Ann</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;-- and anyone who doesn't have or want&nbsp;a lot of jeans -- that doesn't make you an oddball! We wear (or ought to wear) what works for our lifestyle, climate, and body type. So why wear jeans if those don't answer to your needs?&nbsp;</p> <p>Also -- just so &nbsp;you know -- until YLF, I probably never owned more than 4 pair of jeans at any one time. I wore and re-wore the same ones again and again. Granted, I had at that time a <b>VERY</b> minimal (and unfashionable) closet. But also, I tended to wear skirts and even dresses more back then.<b>&nbsp;</b>I tended to wear non-jean trousers, too.&nbsp;<b>I wasn't working from home. And jeans were not comfortable for me on the whole.&nbsp;</b></p> <p>When those two factors changed (I started working from home; I found jeans that were more comfortable for me) so did my wardrobe. It's as simple as that.</p> <p>For me, denim is relatively easy to fit. I typically need to hem the bottoms but that is easy peasy and for the rest, jeans don't present too many problems. Denim is also&nbsp;a super practical choice for a good portion of my year. I'm an artist and hang out with other artists, and artists tend to dress casually. I already gravitate to&nbsp;"dressier" (and/or more classic) clothes than most of my artist friends, who tend to vintage influenced,&nbsp;rocker chic, boho, arty, or, frankly, no style ---&nbsp;depending on age and artistic discipline. <b>Denim is a great "mixer." It allows me to continue to wear the classic and dressier styles I prefer and still move comfortably among my peers.&nbsp;</p> <p></b>If I'm wearing denim, my classic blazer can still look cool. A leather jacket can still look casual.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think Janet has a similar situation, though her own style is more rocker than mine -- but I'd call her rocker luxe for sure, compared to many of my own crowd.&nbsp;</p> <p>My problem is that even now I continue to buy skirts/ regular trousers -- and I have a much harder time wearing those in my casual work-from-home life!&nbsp;</p> <p>If I had an office job, there is <b>NO WAY</b> I would own as many jeans as I do. In that case, I suspect I would keep my selection down to 5 or 6:&nbsp;</p> <p>1 great skinny in denim<br />1 BF or slouchy skinny in denim<br />1 white or light jean<br />1 flare<br />1 patterned jean<br />1 legging jean (for winter tucking into tall boots)&nbsp;</p> <p>I might even limit it further, to a BF and a skinny in blue and one white jean.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-1426911 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 16:08:33 +0000 Artificialsunshine 1426911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know I have way too many jeans, especially because I never wear some of them. I used to think that everyone needed skinny and boot/flare, and then some darker washes. Recently I realized that only wear skinny jeans in a dark wash. So I guess what I'm saying is- it's better to have 1-2 pairs that are perfect for you and what you really like wearing than to have an assortment but you never wear most of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-1426907 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 16:04:00 +0000 Astrid 1426907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At the moment I have one pair I wear regularly, relaxed black skinnies. I also have one pair I would wear if the weather were right (bootcuts) and two pairs of straight legs I wear more or less only on days I'm staying at home. I also still have a pile of too big ones I haven't gotten rid of yet that I'm not really wearing. I would love another pair of slim jeans (relaxed skinnies) that isn't black! But I don't need many more. My life is casual, but I love to wear skirts so I don't need as many jeans. If the ones I have work with my shoes/tops and fit right I can get by with very few pairs. I prefer to have less pairs and wear them more often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-1426898 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 15:36:32 +0000 Anonymous 1426898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Ann</b> - I'm kind of thankful I'm not the only one who can wear the same pair of jeans over and over again - and who has the same sort of relationship with them as you. I never change from work clothes into jeans &nbsp;- they just aren't as comfy for evening lounging as leggings or sweats. I'm really feeling like the odd ball on this forum with the amount of pieces of clothing, jeans, shoes, whatever that I have compared to what&nbsp;many others have. I really can't relate. &nbsp;I've probably never owned more than 4 or 5 pair of WEARABLE jeans at one time either. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pair-of-jeans/page/2#post-1426860 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 13:02:51 +0000 Ann in New England 1426860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UmmLila asked what I wore if I only had one pair of jeans.<br /> I recently did a full closet clean out/edit and donated two pair, but I don't think I've ever owned more than 4 or 5 pair.</p> <p>I don't mind wearing. The same pair of jeans two days on a row, and for work I wear dress pants.

NYDJ comes up with some really good-looking choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pair-of-jeans#post-1426602 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 22:25:41 +0000 Janet 1426602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, reading the other responses made me curious about my current count. This is post-reecent-closet-edit. </p> <p>5 pr denim skinnies or slim straights. One pair is nearing demotion to ranch wear, so I may be in the market for a good replacement soon.<br /> 4 printed/patterned pairs (may not technically be jeans) - checked, houndstooth, plaid and damask print<br /> 2 pair waxed skinnies (not frequently worn, under evaluation)<br /> 2 boyfriend (1 distressed, 1 not)<br /> 2 tomboy (loose fit, non tapered leg, one dark wash, one light -- they function like loose bootcuts)<br /> 4 bootcut (including one that is only for grungy jobs) - an additional two are being evaluated, I may let them go because they bleed blue on me when I wear them. I could be in the market for a dark wash pair of bootcuts.<br /> 5 non-blue denim skinnies/straights: black, dark grey, mid grey, white, cream</p> <p>And then there the non-jeans -- two pairs of moto pants and a pair of black ponte pants that function like jeans for me. </p> <p>So, all in all, 24 pairs. Not bad considering I wear them every day and have a hard time finding styles that fit and flatter me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pair-of-jeans#post-1426597 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 22:16:40 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1426597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on your finds, Ann. If budget, given what you've just spent, is an issue now, there are definitely some decent denim choices at a lower price point. Believe it or not I've had a lot of good denim from Old Navy. You just have to go try on all their fits and see which one(s) suit you, and be willing to try on multiple sizes to get the right one for each fit and your body. There have been a lot of other brand recommendations on the recent conversations about premium denim (and not just premium denim, alternatives to it). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pair-of-jeans#post-1426596 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 22:13:30 +0000 DonnaF 1426596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad your appointment went well!&nbsp; </p> <p>FWIW, I just noticed that your NYDJ Alina's have quite a bit of polyester in them, and a number of YLF members have commented in the past that polyester in jeans makes them itchy.&nbsp; Hopefully, this isn't the case with you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pair-of-jeans#post-1426592 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 22:03:22 +0000 Ann in New England 1426592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, all. You've given me a lot of great ideas going forward.</p> <p>My stylist appointment went OK, and I came home having spent my budget and then some. I was disappointed with the "jeans" part of it, though. The stylist brought me three brands: Paige, NYDJ, and Vince. And he seemed pretty sure that the skinnies I bought were the right style. I like them a lot (and they were on sale!) but I still don't know if they are work appropriate. I will have to scout out what styles of jeans others are wearing at the office.<br />Here are the jeans that I bought.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vince-dylan-skinny-jeans-dark-classic/3799431?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=2375500&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=128&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_2_B">Vince "Dylan" Skinny Jeans</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/nydj-alina-colored-stretch-skinny-jeans-regular-petite/3513682?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=New+Black&amp;resultback=0&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_1_A">NYDJ "Alina" skinny jeans in black</a></p> <p>The rest of the appointment was successful -- I got updated pants and some blouses.

But I wear jeans probably 75% of my days and I like having different cuts and colors to choose from. There was a thread here in the past couple months discussing this very topic; I'll try to search for it and post the link. People really vary here based on their lifestyle and whether they like the vibe that jeans give or not.</p> <p>I'd say that if you wear jeans 3-4 days a week, you need 4-5 pairs at minimum. All of this depends on your fit oreferences and what you're going to wear them with. But if I had to start from scratch with jeans, I'd start with a straight or bootcut pair in a dark wash, then a slim straight in a lighter wash (my equivalent of boyfriend jeans for wearing with tshirts, etc.). Then I'd add maybe a black pair, a colored pair of skinnies, a bootcut long enough to wear with heeled boots, and maybe a pair of trouser jeans for smart casual occasions.<br /> Eta: here's the thread I was thinking of: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jeansis-there-such-a-thing-as-too-many" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....s-too-many</a><br /> But if you search 'how many jeans' on YLF you will get lots of results; it's a constant topic of discussion around here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pair-of-jeans#post-1426446 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 18:50:46 +0000 Anonymous 1426446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In addition to what everyone else has said, it's great to have different colors.

I live in jeans during the week, but I tend to gravitate toward the same two pairs. Last year, I had bought high-rise skinnies, and this year I added a pair of boyfriend jeans. Nothing feels as comfortable as the two skinny jeans I own, though. They keep their shape well, unlike the BF jeans, and they're extremely versatile, especially when traveling. I thought I would wear the high-rise skinnies more often, but they don't work as well with half-tucks and boxy tops. </p>
