I'm a denim lover - I wear jeans 100% of the time on the weekend, except when I am actually working out. I even change into jeans after work, prob 50% of the time, with changing into loungewear being my other option.</p> <p>Really, I wanted to comment bc despite your on-again, off-again relationship with denim, I bought jeans you shared years ago - Gap cigarette jeans. I got them in two washes, they are still going strong, and I still get compliments on them too! So feel free to pick out jeans for me even if you are moving away from them yourself </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/3#post-2275378 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 21:43:15 +0000 gryffin 2275378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa - I don't wear denim to work but it's the backbone of my weekend and off work style.&nbsp; Because blazers are my jam I need to tone down the bottom layer to make them appropriate for the weekend.&nbsp; I wear only two silhouettes - skinnies (ok I have one pair of bootcut but currently not getting any love) and they are in dark denim (paige skyline is my fav) and madewell 9" rise black, gray, denim, black coated denim and leather.&nbsp; Even when I'm not wearing "jeans" I like jeans style pants in my leather and velvet pants.&nbsp; Otherwise it's the COH emersons in various washes blue ridge being my favorite but I have the embroidered and light washes too.&nbsp; Short blazers for the boyfriend jeans, long blazers with skinnies.&nbsp; Add a embellished belt, simple minimalist knit top, booties and blazer and that's my all purpose uniform.&nbsp; I prefer midrise to elongate the torso on all cuts of jeans - 9" rise depending on cut is my sweet spot for both.&nbsp; I have two denim jackets - a black gap which is for beach, pool, hikings something where a blazer would not be appropriate but I need nicer than gear.&nbsp; Plus a qulited blue denim looks like a fencing jacket with silver buttons and peplum - an old Marc Jacobs designer jacket that references a renaissance doublet which is so ineffably cool I will never part with it.&nbsp; But jeans particularly skinnies are totally necessary for my relaxed style, I could not or would not want to live without them.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275360 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 16:47:39 +0000 JamC 2275360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LJP I think of my denim shirts as an essential wardrobe item for me but not really worn as a fashion statement. I wear shirts with collars and buttons often; more than tees or knit tops. I seem to wear the denim shirts two ways, buttoned and untucked or unbuttoned over a tank or tee. They are part of my very casual and comfy outfits paired with dark, black, colored, or white jeans or joggers. In the winter I do wear them under chunky unbuttoned cardigans. They have occasionally been worn tucked into a skirt with the sleeves pushed up or paired with a plaid trouser to make the outfit more casual. In my very casual life I find them very versatile; like jeans they can go with almost anything. Not sure that would work for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275348 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 14:47:22 +0000 LJP 2275348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou of course you have the coolest pieces - lol! &nbsp;But smart thinking about not just buying another piece of denim &nbsp;"just because". &nbsp;That's going to be my mantra for jeans going forward . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275347 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 14:45:39 +0000 Bonnie 2275347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks LJP. I'm happiest with my light and colorful denim jackets. I got shoes to match them and wear them with sweaters, jeans, pants, and dresses. I'm not sure why but the black and dark blue jackets are harder for me to style satisfactorily. I've added an inspiration photo I like a lot of styling a black denim jacket but mine is oversized so that won't work. My dress is a wild card that is way out of my radar but it was bought to support Ukrainian women and children relocating to other countries </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275291 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 03:19:39 +0000 Bijou 2275291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love denim and wear it often (jackets, skirts, jeans and denim shorts), particularly in combination with some of my more dressy pieces. My jeans are not trendy but are worn often. I usually wear my jeans at least 2 days a week unless in high summer weather. My statement denim pieces that I own and wear on high rotation are in finds, I am wearing the pink skirt today!</p> <p>When it comes to denim, when I get it right, I live in the item (whether they are jeans, a jacket etc). The challenge for me is to be really picky about what I add to my closet and thinking about what wardrobe hole is being filled and not just buying another pair of jeans simply because they fit and are somewhat flattering. I tend revert to my old favourites... trendy denim is not for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275288 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 02:56:17 +0000 LJP 2275288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - Bonnie , nice collection !

How do you wear your denim jackets ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275272 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 02:05:51 +0000 Bonnie 2275272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denim is perfect for my casual lifestyle and weather, and I wear it most days all year long. I've added a few pair of jeans each year for the last five years and wear them all. The oldest are skinny jeans but as styles have changed, I added wide leg, flare, straight leg and overalls. They are comfortable and can be dressed up or down. I have a few pair of pants but they don't get worn much.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275268 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 01:43:52 +0000 Gail 2275268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have lots of pairs of jeans in all washes and styles. In the winter I still reach for the skinny jeans out of laziness, they are so easy to stuff into &nbsp;boots and wear during wet or snowy weather. <br />I have two pairs of cropped wide legs one in blue denim and one in cream denim. The blue denim are worn more as the cream pair are too wide for me at the top of the leg on the thigh and look stupid. Why don't I donate them I now ask myself.<br />&nbsp;The cropped flare jeans don't get worn much as they are slightly tight and I find hard to style with footwear . <br />White jeans, I wear out in the evening during the summer. My blue denim doesn't get worn in the summer.<br />&nbsp;Denim shirts - I have two they don't get much wear. I don't wear double denim and I now that I've read other fabbers posts I also think the shirts are &nbsp;probably too masculine a look for me which I why they sit in my closet.&nbsp;<br />Denim shorts- I have one pair from Old Navy that I bought this summer after not having a pair for about 8 years . They are surprisingly comfortable and I wear them up at our house in The Thousand Islands NY, its super relaxed there. I will probably never wear them out of the house here &nbsp;in PA<br />Denim jackets, I have 3 two blue and one white. I take them with me to places just in case I'm cold. I have a J Crew denim skirt that gets worn about 6 times per summer, I also struggle with the tops for skirts, to tuck or not to tuck.<br />None of my jeans are really current I'd like some straight legs and some full length flares if I can figure out the fall/winter shoe situation. &nbsp;<br />I do wear ponte pants quite a lot but only have black, wish I had other colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275242 Mon, 01 Aug 2022 23:26:20 +0000 Carla 2275242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing LJP. &nbsp;I miss your fab outfits, and thrifting reports Roxanna. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275239 Mon, 01 Aug 2022 23:19:00 +0000 LJP 2275239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooh - nice outfit Roxanna - and great to see you again ! &nbsp;xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275227 Mon, 01 Aug 2022 22:44:24 +0000 Roxanna 2275227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are preaching to the choir, friend. I haven’t worn jeans regularly for at least 2-3 years. Gaining weight And changing body shape has something to do with it - so did the fact that I just refuse to do the amount of try ons and returns I need to do to get have that fit properly. I need things I can order online easily. Add that to the fact that I find jeans constricting on the belly, uncomfortable, and sausage like - and I’m out.</p> <p>I have a couple of the slouchy girlfriend cuts your mention and I don’t mind them with heels. But I never wear jeans in summer - I prefer wide leg culottes, edged up with funky footwear (a trick I learned from you.) and in winter I find dress pants with a little stretch much more comfortable and flattering. </p> <p>Here is the last time I wore jeans - in early spring - with a sparkly tuxedo blazer and Refined burgundy combat boots for Mother’s Day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275220 Mon, 01 Aug 2022 21:58:06 +0000 lisaflex 2275220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>COH light wash - love them!&nbsp;<br />Mother - Frey weekender - love them year round (2 pairs)<br />I have 2 pairs of kut from the cloth white that I wear often&nbsp;<br />and a few others - gap girlfriend for at home wear only - they stretch hugely and I sized down 2 sizes!<br />WHBM girlfriend jeans in a light wash that I have worn a lot this summer as they are lighter weight.&nbsp;</p> <p>my lifestyle is super casual!</p> <p>I also have 2 white denim jackets - dont get worn too often.

And then only when I want some easiness/dress down/non-attention-getting in my outfit. (Or for working outside.) Jeans aren't my favorite for sitting so I avoid them for working at a desk, travel, or lots of driving.</p> <p>My denim favorite is jean shorts. I practically grew up in them and still feel totally at ease in them. My currently-worn favorites are a model with stretch denim in back and non-stretch denim in front. I stumbled on them on clearance at Kohl's, bought 3 pair in 2 sizes, and never found any more. They're wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275201 Mon, 01 Aug 2022 21:16:07 +0000 Barbara Diane 2275201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no denim at all, although I did try on a denim jacket recently.

It was actually a treat to be able to wear my COH Emerson’s a couple of times last week in Maine. My denim style is pretty basic and not terribly trendy because a lot do trends do not flatter me — I stick with mostly mid rises, boyfriend, straight or bootcut styles, and mostly mid to darker washes. White jeans are just a fail on me. </p> <p>I have a couple of pairs of denim shorts and they are mostly just for around the house. I do have some Jag denim Bermuda shorts that I can tolerate facing the world in. </p> <p>I have several denim jackets and they don’t get worn a ton, but when I need them, nothing else will do. They get worn with skirts and dresses in warmer weather in the evening, and sometimes layered for transitional weather, but never worn with other denim — I can’t do the denim tuxedo thing either.</p> <p>I have a denim pencil skirt in my holding zone — I’m about 10 lbs over the right weight to wear it. Not sure if I’ll be in the mood for it if/when I lose the weight. I think I last wore it around the time I turned 50, and I’m about to turn 57 — LOL. It may need to go. </p> <p>I gave up on chambray/denim shirts — too stiff and/or too heavy for summer. I did just get a lovely gauzy Rails shirt that does the trick instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275156 Mon, 01 Aug 2022 19:34:25 +0000 DonnaF 2275156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe I should give myself a denim/jeans challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275139 Mon, 01 Aug 2022 18:05:50 +0000 LJP 2275139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharan - you’re another with whom I associate denim and your collection is indeed always current . </p> <p>Kkards - I nodded along with your age / generation signifier that denim jackets can represent . Maybe that’s really why I don’t wear them . They serve a really valuable purpose for those who wear dresses a lot and need something other than a formal blazer or ubiquitous cardigan for protection from AC . But I think I’d personally prefer an interesting casual linen blazer or moto style jacket which I had on my radar to purchase this summer and haven’t found. . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275137 Mon, 01 Aug 2022 17:53:02 +0000 LJP 2275137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YKK- there is plenty of denim that holds colour ( which is also a result of how you as the wearer cares for a cleans it ) and isn’t heavy or coarse . There are many seaming options too . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275133 Mon, 01 Aug 2022 17:18:23 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2275133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Denim is integral to my style, in the form of jeans and jackets. I don't wear denim shirts. Where I used to wear jeans every day that I wasn't working (and would change into them after work, too), though, now that I'm not working, I find I am wearing other casual pants sometimes, too. So, it feels I am relying on jeans less often. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>For most of the summer, I wear lighter weight, cropped styles of jeans, except during the occasional heat wave that hits once or twice a year. Then I wear a breezy dress or shorts, some of which are jeans shorts. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I have six denim jackets: white, beige, two blue, two black. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I try to keep my jeans capsule current, so that I feel stylish when I wear them. I do have one pair that I keep for non-style wear, like doing chores. That doesn't happen often--haha!--but I find it useful to have something around that doesn't force me to wear good hiking or workout gear for other sweaty, dirty work. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Like Helena, I'm feeling my old favorite jean jacket (AG Robyn) is on the small side; I have grown a bit, and the jacket fit on the small size back when I bought it. So I'm looking for a roomier one. <br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275130 Mon, 01 Aug 2022 17:03:47 +0000 judy 2275130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my denim, and it makes up a lot of my wardrobe and I wear it every day.&nbsp; I'm fascinated with how it changes as it ages.&nbsp; But I only have pants.&nbsp; No shorts or dresses, skirts or jackets or blouses at the moment. I don't find denim jackets comfortable, though I have tried.&nbsp; And since I always have denim bottoms, it's too much denim.&nbsp; My eight pair of denim are straight leg and tend toward wide leg and I can turn them up, no hemming required.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I do envision that I might wear less denim someday, who knows!&nbsp; I've always loved denim and workwear since I was a teen when we had to buy mens.&nbsp; I'm currently hunting the perfect pair of wider leg chino's.&nbsp; We'll see if I find them, and then, if I actually will end up wearing them!&nbsp; I also find myself craving some wide leg cropped corduroys for fall/winter.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Funny thing is, the heat wave here in the PNW had me wearing one of my two dresses.&nbsp; I bought a short kaftan in black linen this winter that was half price and I'd looked at for months.&nbsp; It's perfect, not too long, nice and loose, but not too loose.&nbsp; And it turns out I DID wear it, thought I might not, and I DID wear it around the house too.&nbsp; No AC and it felt great!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275128 Mon, 01 Aug 2022 16:58:21 +0000 kkards 2275128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denim lover here. &nbsp;And yes for me it’s both a personal&nbsp;style issue and an environmental norm. A few years ago, before we were allowed to wear jeans to the office I owned 2 or 3 pairs. &nbsp;Now, I own and regularly wear dozens. All kinds of blue and a white. &nbsp;I don’t wear black jeans. &nbsp;I’ve tried, but they just don’t work for me. &nbsp;Like others have mentioned I rarely wear jeans in the summer. &nbsp;I own 1 pair of denim shorts, which I love and wear a lot. but I find denim shorts harder to find than denim pants, because I like them to be loose on the leg, and 100% cotton. &nbsp;And I like length but not to much. &nbsp;Yup, I’m kind of picky&nbsp;<div>I own 3 different denim jackets ( not including the OG Levi’s jacket I got in college), &nbsp;I keep one of the denim jackets at work for summer days when the AC is on full blast and my shawl isn’t enough. &nbsp;That being said, I’m not “feeling” denim jackets that much anymore. &nbsp;For me, they are an item that seems to mark you as an “geriatric millennial” or older. &nbsp;And while I’m not hiding my age, I like to dress more&nbsp;“ageless”. &nbsp;I find myself wearing this denim blazer more and more, but not with jeans, with cotton and/or athleisure pants. In contrast. Years ago I bought this chore jacket, and I think I wear it once. &nbsp;It seemed like the updated denim jacket, but somehow never worked for me&nbsp;<br />on the denim shirt category, I own one, and really wear it. But when I do wear it, it’s perfect. &nbsp; Lol. &nbsp;Mostly I wear it was a cover up for days when it’s super super hot and I actually wear a tank top, I throw this on before I actually go into a store. &nbsp;</p> <p></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275127 Mon, 01 Aug 2022 16:45:28 +0000 phoebe 2275127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore it daily year round, for decades, cutoffs in summer, found it very easy to dress up or down and that it added a trendy but utilitarian factor that was fundamental to my style.</p> <p>I was a little shocked by the environmental impact of denim but I might have overrode that had I not also started to find it uncomfortable and more frumpy than flattering, the utilitarian outweighing the trendy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275124 Mon, 01 Aug 2022 16:05:03 +0000 Echo 2275124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, I haven't really worn denim regularly since my early 20s. I just don't like it: I don't enjoy how it feels, I find outfits with it to be too plain, and it isn't something I reach for. Like you, I have tried denim in all sorts of incarnations, but it rarely works. I do have a peplum denim jacket I wear and a hot pink denim jacket that I wear, but otherwise I don't wear denim jackets, either. And I've probably tried 20 different chambray shirts, but I just simply don't wear them. Denim skirts are also not an option for me, as the shorter ones feel too young and the slightly longer skirts are associated with a certain brand of religiosity.</p> <p>Fortunately, I'm trying to avoid shoving myself into some denim-shaped hole these days. I go with what works for me and leave the "classics" that I am "supposed" to have to others who wear them far better than I do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275121 Mon, 01 Aug 2022 15:18:46 +0000 LJP 2275121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, it was/is you and Angie that always come to mind when I think of denim.

Too hot, as you say, and too heavy. Especially if you live where there is a lot of humidity and nights don't cool down.&nbsp;</p> <p>This is my current denim collection. A couple of pairs of BF jeans in different sizes, a lighter wash slim straight and a slightly darker one, a dark wash boot cut, a couple of white jeans and a pair of dark shorts and white shorts, along with two denim shirts and a white jacket and a blue one (in my closet since I joined YLF!) Oh-- and a pair of trendier olive balloon pants -- I'm not really sure they qualify as denim since they have some linen in them or something -- they are not the same fabric, really, but fill the same function.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's interesting -- I'd say denim is signature to my style in white and blue but I used to depend on it more for the trend factor than I have in recent years. Lately I've been wearing fairly conservative cuts. Not sure why that is -- it might just be pandemic related or might be related to what has felt comfortable on the body. Hmmm.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275106 Mon, 01 Aug 2022 13:35:27 +0000 Star (Lise) 2275106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am definitely a jeans person, always have been.&nbsp; I wear them year round except in July and August when it is too hot.&nbsp; I prefer only a dark wash in which ever style is current.&nbsp; I have a denim skirt that I have had for 14 years and I love it in Spring and Autumn, although it is on it's last legs, just did some repairs to the back slit area.&nbsp; I have a couple of denim dresses, one has turned into a workhorse this Spring/Summer.&nbsp; I never realised that although it has 3/4 sleeves it is exceptionally cool.&nbsp; Prefering a bit more cover on my arms these days.&nbsp; Denim Jackets I used to love and have a few different washes but have 'grown out' of them in recent years, wanting a more grown up vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-role-of-denim-in-your-wardrobelife/page/2#post-2275103 Mon, 01 Aug 2022 12:59:51 +0000 Helena 2275103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Lisa yes! I bought them as a spring wild card and I LOVE them. Mind you, I don't love them as much when I see them after in photos but my solution for that is don't look at the photos haha. I think they are more flattering with a fitted top worn longer. Which blogger is it if you don't mind? I've actually got a couple of great workhorses from Dynamite (moto and striped dress) </p>
