I hate jeans!

Oh, dear. I LOVE jeans! One of my motivators for losing weight is getting into jeans again (and looking healthy and fit while wearing them). I have a photo of a pair of Levi's posted on the fridge and my PC. They are old and dear friends that I've not spent any time with in the last decade because I look ridiculous in them right now. They are "comfort" clothes when well worn in. Love, love, LOVE them. I hate the elastic waist in all of my existing pants/slacks and can't wait to get rid of them. Spent this morning going through closets and separating things into "save", throw out, and donate. Needless to say, all my old jeans are in the "save" pile and I don't give a rat's butt how old they are. They are friends!

I am a history teacher so I know for a fact jeans were invented as tough durable pants for workers/farmers. But somehow over the last 100+ years, they have become an American clothing staple.

TBH, I'm a little unsure how this is relevant?

They were CREATED to be working pants for laborers, farmers, and miners! They were made of durable material and held together with metal rivets to be stronger than other pants sewn together. My historical point is that jeans were never created to be worn as fashion as we do now.

And? Jeans have evolved with the times and are considered fashion apparel now. A century ago, most women in the U.S. didn't wear pants of any sort (historically speaking) but many were wearing corsets that caused major health issues (historically speaking). I will ALWAYS love jeans. You wanna' give back the vote, too?:noway:

OP, try Not Your Daughter's Jeans.

My current faves are the ReRock jeans from Express.

A MUST READ TO AVOID "LONG BUTT" MOM JEANS:

When I was a size 12, I hated jeans too. The only pairs that I could find to fit gave me the dreaded "Long Butt Syndrome" that many mom's have. Then one day I was searching the internet and stumbled across this blog "Mom Jeans and the Dreaded Long Butt". Someone actually took the time to explain how to shop for and find jeans that were flattering to your butt and figure. The blog was sooooo funny and well written, I feel the need to share and educate anyone here who was in the same boat as me unaware that it was my jean choices that made my butt look awful, not necessarily my butt itself!

Below is the link to the original post, and she also has a plus-size sequel to this blog. Well worth your 5 minutes to read this, it will change the way you shop for jeans forever! Even now that I'm a size 6, I'm still using her tips to shop for jeans, and yes, I found an amazing pair that I totally love. Hope this helps all you jean haters of the world ;o)

Jeans are hard for me to find a good size too cuz I am very short and I have a really small waist but big hips and short legs so Junior size Jeans fit best but then I have to hem atleast like 4 inches off them minimum, even the petite pants are too long. I have found I like the Angels Brand Jeans, Fiorucci, or Seven jeans best but I do always usually have to hem them up. I like the springtime cuz I can buy them already cropped. Angels Jeans though are super comfortable I usually get them online they are pretty thin denim but put together well and they move easily they don't feel so stiff wearing them.

I love jeans and I think all my pants save for 3 pairs of dress pants (2 of which are still too small to fit back into) are jeans. That being said, I HATE jean shopping. I have fuller thighs and a fuller butt, and a smaller waist (smaller in proportion to my thighs at least. Anyway, every pair of jeans I own has a huge gap in the back which annoys me. My dress pants fit me rather nicely, as I can get them with wider straight legs. I can never find an affordable pair of jeans that fits.

Other than that I love my jeans! They go with EVERYTHING!
