how often do you wear jeans?

boobaby · Kate Spade

I wear them almost daily. It is too much, but I've been so uninspired lately.

I would say that between mid-May and mid-September (which is when it's quite warm where I live), I only wear jeans once a month. If you include white jeans, which I love but somehow seem quite different than jeans, I probably wear jeans once a week. I have a very casual lifestyle, too, but I actually find jeans to be just about the least flattering pant option on my body -- plus I like wearing skirts and dresses when I can do so without tights.

During the rest of the year, I probably wear them four times a week. I'd probably like to reduce that by a day and it's one of my goals to do so this year, but since I'm in a casual environment, I feel rather out of place if I wear skirts and slacks all the time in the winter!

Too much! My office is super casual, too, and when I'm tired and grumpy in the morning, it is far easier to skip shaving and throw in jeans and a shirt and leave, than actually have to put effort into myself. Right now it's about 4x a week - 3 days at work and usually for at least part of Saturday, too. I'm trying to make a resolution to only wear them once a week to work, but I'm not sticking to that very well (obviously). I need to start laying out and ironing outfits the night before so it's easier to pick those up in the morning than find my jeans. I think that would cure me!

This sound stupid, but when I buy a new top I really like, I usually wear it with jeans a lot in the beginning. I think that jeans are so neutral no one even notices them, so then all the attention has to focus on my fun new shirt that I want to show off. But I know there's a better way to approach that situation!

Every day! I'm also a student though, if that tells you anything. wink

AllieGurl · Marc Jacobs

Alot, sometimes at least 5 days a week. When I feel like I am falling into a fashion rut ( and yes jeans do this to me too, because they can be very unispiring) I try to start wearing dresses and funky shoes again to get myself back into a more fashionable mindset.

luckylily · Gucci

I actually only wear jeans about once a week. I know I'm in the minority, but I find jeans totally uncomfortable. However, I'm a denim skirt addict.

Lilykind · Hermes

Twice a week in the summer. It's too hot to wear jeans in 90+ weather so I live in Rachel Pally dresses most of the time.

Four time a week in fall/winter...most fall stuff tends to be too dressy for my life so I dress down nicer jackets/sweaters and such with dark wash jeans.

erin · Chanel

very rarely in summer..maybe 4-5x per week in winter.

atlgirl · Gucci

Not much in the summer. I live in skirts or lightweight cargos when it's hot out. Probably 2x a week in colder months. I work from home so a lot of days I'm in very casual clothes, but I mostly try to dress a little when I leave the house for anything. But sometimes jeans just feel better than anything else when the temperature drops.

This is the problem with me too. Even if I wear a super casual skirt in the summer, people assume that I have an interview or something!!

jj · Kate Spade

I can't wear jeans to work, but when the weather cools off, I will be wearing them every Saturday and Sunday!

They're just so easy for casual wear. Although I plan to mix in some cords this year for a change.

I am also getting better about not relying on the WNTW uniform of jeans, heels and blazer for going out. I plan to wear more dresses with tights or boots this year.

FashionPrincess · Hermes

Very rarely in the summer, too dang hot! But in the fall and winter probably 3-4 times a week.

cahabo · Kate Spade

Since I can't wear jeans to work I might wear them once or twice a week. When school starts next week I might wear them three or four times a week since I will not let my work attire rule what I wear to school! I'll just have to change my clothes before coming to work.

Cortney1982 · Chanel

Nearly daily since I can wear them 3 days at week at work.

Drew · Gucci

Usually once a week during the week (unless they are super dark trouser style), and maybe all weekend if I feel like it. I love to dress up for work, but I don't have to, and I'm sure I'm often overdressed, but I don't care!

dangergirl · Kate Spade

pretty much everyday. i don't need smart clothes often as i have a uniform for work, and i feel uncomfortable and overdressed if i wear anything vaguely smart or dressy day-to-day

bloomie · Marc Jacobs

About once every two weeks.

pollyjean23 · Marc Jacobs

When it's cool outside, I put jeans on after work just about every day. I wear jeans a lot on the weekends too in the fall and winter.

kenzie · Chanel

Hardly ever in the summer, but during the winter I wear them on weekends. I can't wear them to work, but at my previous job, I could and I wore them more than I do now.
