I've taken pictures of myself the past couple days wearing jeans and hate the way these look:</p> <p><a href="http://whenlifehandsyouapear.wordpress.com/2010/03/01/what-i-wore-today-2/" rel="nofollow">http://whenlifehandsyouapear.w.....e-today-2/</a></p> <p><a href="http://whenlifehandsyouapear.wordpress.com/2010/03/02/what-i-wore-today-and-why-i-need-better-jeans/" rel="nofollow">http://whenlifehandsyouapear.w.....ter-jeans/</a></p> <p>I bought some trouser style jeans last week that I hope will look a lot better.</p> <p>Premium denim is next on my shopping list, if I can find anything that fits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pairs-of-jeans-revisited#post-130379 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 23:50:37 +0000 yublocka 130379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting question! I have:</p> <p>- Rich &amp; skinny skinny jeans - dark blue<br /> - COH skinny jeans - grey (wear A LOT!)<br /> - COH skinny jeans - white (worn only once this summer as I am too scared to get them dirty! And I don't know if white jeans are "me")<br /> - JBrand black zipped skinnies<br /> - Jeanswest straight dark blue jeans - old &amp; stretched<br /> - Jeanswest straight black jeans - old &amp; stretched<br /> - BR trouser jeans</p> <p>Plus I just received my high waisted BDG jeans from UO that Shiny recommended along time ago. I was planning on getting these cut into clams, but I love them so much I may not be able to do that. These will work great for tucking into boots come winter as well. I might have to order another pair especially to make into clams!</p> <p>Wow I didn't realise I had so many pairs.....I blame ylf as I only had 2 pairs pre-ylf! Luckily I live in jeans so all of these (except the white pair) get worn a lot!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pairs-of-jeans-revisited#post-130353 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 21:57:58 +0000 April 130353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hee hee -- I am dying for Tanya to chime in here... </p> <p>(Tanya, I know you're neck-deep in moving boxes and I'm sure you have no time to inventory your jeans, just wishful thinking.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pairs-of-jeans-revisited#post-130310 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 19:17:16 +0000 Sarah 130310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS: I do have two pair of J Brand grey skinnies. One is super light and one is a medium wash with almost a velvet finish.<br /> Bryan likes the second pair (they need to be hemmed) but can't get his brain wrapped around the first pair. So I never wear them (not that he would care if I did, I would just rather wear things he reallyreally likes). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pairs-of-jeans-revisited#post-130308 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 19:15:54 +0000 Sarah 130308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black skinnies (BR)<br /> Black straight leg (BR)<br /> Dark wash straight leg (Goldsign)<br /> Trouser (JCrew)<br /> Dark wash bootcut (Cookie Johnson)<br /> Light wash bootcut (Joes)<br /> Mid wash bootcut (DK)</p> <p>That's all for now. I have some Elsons, but I plan on pulling those out in the summer.<br /> I also have some 7FAMs that are a lighter wash bootcut but they have some distressing and a hole on one knee. I save those for very Austin occasions only.<br /> I had a pair of medium wash skinnies and medium wash bootcuts, but I shrank out of both finally. They obviously don't need to be replaced just yet.<br /> I would like to add some white bootcuts, maybe white skinnies or straights, and some dark wash skinnies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pairs-of-jeans-revisited#post-130300 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 19:07:09 +0000 RoseandJoan 130300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 pair of dark skinnies<br /> 1 pair of dark straight legs<br /> 1 pair of boyfriend jeans for lounging<br /> 1 pair of cream bootlegs (5 years old)</p> <p>I would like to add a pair of grey or black skinnies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pairs-of-jeans-revisited#post-130297 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 19:03:58 +0000 rae 130297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. loose black Hudsons to wear as boyfriend jeans<br /> 2.

I only really wear my skinny jeans at the moment out of all my jeans and then only on weekends (and not at all this weekend i was in dresses). During this winter i can count on one hand the number of times i've worn trousers to work!! x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pairs-of-jeans-revisited#post-130154 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 07:36:13 +0000 Ele 130154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was a surprise to me (because I always feel short on denim!), but I've got 7. My collection: </p> <p>2 pairs skinnies, one black, one dark blue (Uniqlo)<br /> 1 pair straight legs, med. blue (COH Elsons)<br /> 1 pair straight legs, dark blue (Earnest Sewn)<br /> 1 pair straight legs, dark blue (Paige)<br /> 1 pair bootcuts, med. blue (7FAMK)<br /> 1 pair trouser jeans, dark blue (7FAMK)</p> <p>And this is not counting my "skinny jeans", a pair of Habituals which I keep at my parent's house and try in vain to fit into every time I go home! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pairs-of-jeans-revisited#post-130134 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 06:12:20 +0000 Kari 130134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not counting denim clamdiggers, my current rotation is two identical pairs of inky-blue JAG bootcut jeans, one pair of skinny DKNY jeans, and Esprit denim leggings. </p> <p>I had a straight-ish pair of Ann Taylor jeans, but somehow managed to rip one of the back rivets out so I have a not-so-fab hole all the way through my pants. They're in hibernation until I figure out a way to repair them.</p> <p>If I wore jeans more often, I'd invest in a pair of true straight-leg jeans, but now I'm fully converted to being a skirt-and-dress girl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pairs-of-jeans-revisited#post-130129 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 06:05:47 +0000 marianne 130129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for taking the time to participate in my little survey. I also forgot to list my white straight legs. I am starting to think it's a lifestyle issue. Angie, I definitely am wearing more skirts and dresses since I went back to work - and my denim leggings and micro-checks - because they are more comfortable for prolonged sitting than jeans. OTOH, the Elsons are more comfortable than most of my jeans, at least they seem to be - I haven't worn them out yet.<br /> Also I could put the money toward a pair of Fidjis or a nice LBD... hmm.<br /> Jenava, I wash my white jeans with Oxyclean and it works pretty well. I also think straight legs or skinnies work better than bootcuts in that aspect because the hem doesn't touch the ground. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pairs-of-jeans-revisited#post-130121 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 05:47:47 +0000 LoP 130121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd wait until I wear out the old one to add another straight legged pair. I don't know if your body changes as much as mine, but I wear my jeans to the fullest before I can't wear them. I have the ones I posted last week during my jean challenge, a blue loose bootcut to wear as boyfriend, a black straight leg black that also functions as skinny somehow and a pair of denim leggings. I wear jeans a lot so I try to change the cuts and colors to add variety. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pairs-of-jeans-revisited#post-130118 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 05:05:34 +0000 Maya 130118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hated colored denim when Angie first posted it, but I think in retrospect I just hated the jeans rather than the fact that they were colored. I think Ana has a pair of orange jeans (or pants) that she styles to perfection. I'd absolutely wear red pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pairs-of-jeans-revisited#post-130117 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 05:04:47 +0000 Mac 130117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My current lifestyle (freelance: most of the work from home) is super casual. I have one pair of bootcut jeans that have never looked great and I've decided to let them go this week. Then, I have 3 other pairs of bootcut and 2 skinnies and one pair of ill-fitting trouser jeans that I think must also go soon. All dark wash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pairs-of-jeans-revisited#post-130115 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 04:44:38 +0000 Jenava 130115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 7 pair;<br /> 1 high-waist flare,<br /> 1 high-waist grey straight(ish) leg,<br /> 2 skinnies, both dark wash and higher-wasited (one with a small leg opening I only use to tuck into boots, either other leaning towards straight-leg that I wear long so it scrunches with flats or cover my foot with heels),<br /> 1 wide-leg that's almost too big in the waist<br /> 1 dark wash boot-cut<br /> 1 medium boot-cut hemmed for flats</p> <p>I am realizing I have very little denim other than blue (one pair gray, that's it!).</p> <p>Curious how the ladies with white denim keep it clean. </p> <p>Anyone go out on a limb with non-neutral colored (other than blue, white, black or gray) denim?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pairs-of-jeans-revisited#post-130114 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 04:41:42 +0000 Kristen 130114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two pairs, straight-leg extra-long Levis and straight-leg Lofts. But I only wear jeans on the weekends so it's not a bad number.</p> <p>I also have a stack waiting for me to get back into them... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pairs-of-jeans-revisited#post-130105 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 04:20:28 +0000 cciele 130105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For full-length denim, I have:<br /> - One pair white skinnies<br /> - One pair dark wash skinnies<br /> - One pair medium-wash skinnies<br /> - One pair medium-wash bootcuts<br /> - One pair dark wash bootcuts, hemmed for heels<br /> - One pair dark wash wide leg trouser cut, hemmed for heels</p> <p>But in regular rotation this season, it's really only the medium-wash bootcuts and the medium-wash skinnies. I find myself wearing my check pants, ponte pants, and dress/legging combos more often.</p> <p>So, if you don't find yourself wearing jeans that often, I wouldn't invest in another pair. Perhaps find something very different than what you already have? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pairs-of-jeans-revisited#post-130093 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 03:52:22 +0000 Maya 130093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have:</p> <p>-7FAM medium wash bootcuts<br /> -Rich and Skinny High straight legs<br /> -Rich and Skinny High skinnies<br /> -Gold Sign Treo trouser jeans (they don't have trouser pockets so I'm not sure if they count, but they are a uniformly dark wash and fit like trouser jeans)<br /> -Earnest Sewn Zazo straight legs<br /> -BR bootcuts, which I'm only keeping as my touchstone for knowing when I have lost enough weight. When I first bought them, the waist was too loose! Now it's too tight :\ I don't want them to be too loose again, but it would be nice if they at least fit. I like them a lot though. They are the perfect inseam, perfect wash, gently tattered hems (which I like), and not too flared. It would be great if I could wear them again.</p> <p>I also have a pair of trouser jeans from NY&amp;Co that I bought before I won the Gold Sign jeans. I should really get rid of them. Once you go premium, you can't go back.</p> <p>Everything other than my skinnies are in hibernation right now because of winter. I can't really do anything but wear boots tucked, or with skirts and dresses. Since I am biz casual 2 days a week, that has also cut down on my jeans habit. I'm really glad I invested in premium denim because it means I don't have to think about jeans for a long time to come. My denim wardrobe is the one part of my closet that feels truly complete. I don't make too many investments in terms of clothes, but this was a good one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pairs-of-jeans-revisited#post-130078 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 03:14:24 +0000 Angie 130078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! That means you're wearing more skirts and dresses, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pairs-of-jeans-revisited#post-130055 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 02:09:50 +0000 Dashrashi 130055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dang, I have a lot of jeans.<br /> 2 pairs of dark straight legs (exactly the same--duplicated)<br /> 1 pair of charcoal skinnies<br /> 1 pair of dark indigo skinnies<br /> 2 pairs of Hudson bootcuts (one for flats--worn often, one for heels--worn rarely)<br /> 1 pair of denim trousers (extended tab, welt pockets, the whole trouser shebang, only worn on casual Fridays or similar)<br /> and about 3 more pairs I don't wear as regularly, but still wear occasionally (i.e. my favored jeans are in the hamper).<br /> ...Plus maybe 3 more pairs that I cant seem to cull out of my jeans drawer for a variety of reason (e.g., used to wear those all the time; need to keep those around in case I put the 10 lbs I accidentally lost this year back on, etc.). I have a complex. </p> <p>Oh, and I ordered a pair of legging jeans (WILL. NOT. CALL. THEM. JEGGINGS.) because my skinnies are just a teensy bit bulky at the ankles and tucking them into ankle boots or regular knee-highs was getting kind of irritating. We'll see if they are keepers, though. </p> <p>On the plus side, I feel completely satisfied with my jeans wardrobe, and I love wearing jeans. I was on Jeopardy earlier this year and they said no jeans and I almost cried. ("I won't wear those kinds of jeans! It will look bangin'! I swear!" Alas.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pairs-of-jeans-revisited#post-130011 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 00:15:53 +0000 Mellllls 130011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't answer this off the top of my head. I probably have between 8-10 and I only wear jeans 3 days a week. Many are quite old though. I have 2 pairs that are for tucking into boots only so they will be put away after the winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pairs-of-jeans-revisited#post-130010 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 00:15:17 +0000 marianna 130010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my current rotation:</p> <p>- 2 pairs dark wash skinnies (one pair is super skinny for boots, the other is more of a straight leg)<br /> - 2 pairs dark wash bootcuts<br /> - 1 pair black bootcuts</p> <p>I also have some trouser jeans that are starting to fit me again that I will add to my rotation.</p> <p>I pretty much live in jeans so this works for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pairs-of-jeans-revisited#post-130008 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 00:12:20 +0000 Kristine 130008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have </p> <p>1 pair of bootcut dark jeans, long inseam<br /> 1 pair of bootcut dark jeans, short inseam<br /> 1 pair of dark skinnies<br /> 1 pair of black skinnies<br /> 1 pair of white capri</p> <p>I would really like a pair of dark straight leg jeans to wear with flats and boots. I wear jeans when I get home from work, on weekends and once in a while to work. Will the new jeans fill a gap that the others don't fill (work with certain pants or outfits)? If yes, I'd get them. If not, probably not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-pairs-of-jeans-revisited#post-130004 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 00:00:55 +0000 Beth 130004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I have more than I thought!<br /> 2 pairs of Gap Long &amp; Leans (dark &amp; medium wash)<br /> 1 pair Gap bootcut (medium wash)<br /> 1 pair PDC bootcut (medium wash)<br /> 1 pair AG Angel bootcut (dark wash)<br /> 1 pair COH Elson straight (dark wash)<br /> 1 pair Levis straight (medium wash)</p> <p>And two more pairs of "barn jeans."
