I love jeans. Jeans are a vital essential in my wardrobe. I did not wear jeans to work.
In the depths of winter (-35 C this morning), I wear Scuba Joggers from Lululemon. I have two pairs. They are warm, and I layer them with heat tech for dog walking. For running errands, when I want to step it up a notch, I wear corduroy pants.
In the hottest days of summer, I wear shorts. I have denim shorts and other types of shorts.
I wear cotton pants like joggers from Sanctuary. I also wear Sailor Pants from Jesse Kamm.
For funerals, I wear wool pants and Effortless Pants from Aritizia.
For Yoga and Pilates, I wear leggings from Lululemon.

Thanks, everyone! Much enjoyed your replies.

Athleisure pants are a denim substitute by the sounds of it!

LJP, YES! Being my own boss allows me to dress the way I want to. That part is a plus. Denim is a big with my clients - with some more than others - because they are Millennials, Gen X, Boomers and the Silent Generation. Denim is not nearly as popular with Gen Z - who are not my clientele. Although I DO shop with them! Nephew and goddaughter are young adults.

Suz, that's good information, and makes a lot of sense. Good job identifying the WHY's and the wardrobe holes! Great analysis

When not wearing jeans, I wear:
• Midi/midaxi dresses in seasonally appropriate fabrics
• Midi/midaxi skirts in seasonally appropriate fabrics
• Dressy long pants
• Corduroys
• Cotton capris (in summer only)
• Smart lounge pants (velour or pretty patterns)

I default to jeans in the winter, but also have some wool trousers. In the summer I have all manner of non-jeans long shorts or short pants.
