I've taken the time and trouble to read all the way through this thread ...
hoping someone would post a cute pic of a cute babe showing why blue jeans will never go out of fashion ...
but all I find is this from Daffynition
FReepers you let me down!
... sigh
;-D

Costco and Sam’s Club both sell house brand jeans that fit the bill.

What, dirty t-shirts and ball caps are going out of style?

Almost all college coeds are wearing yoga pants now.

This requires a separate thread.

Could it have anything to do with the fat asses?

[Daffynition]

What I will never *get* are the designer jeans that are distressed, that seem to be in vogue.

When our jeans became distressed mom put those iron-on patches to hide the holes ...so we could get more wear out of them.

I recall, fondly, a pair of Levis from my teen years....that wore thru the seat [Bicycle riding a lot]...mom would throw them in the trash...I'd find them, sew on a patch, and continue to wear them.

It’s a different ballgame when you have a BMI of 40 or more. Fat people have unique fat roll placement. The fat rolls on obese people are almost like a fingerprint. Finding a pair of (non stretch) jeans that fits your particular distribution of fat rolls is challenging. It’s easier to just buy the ‘athleisure’ stuff that doesn’t fit as closely and fight other battles.

What a fun story. Glad you answered the call.

Drink.

Had only one pair of jeans. Found them very uncomfortable.

Stick to casual pants and shorts in the summer.

A friend loves her Levis.......used to put on a new pair then sit in the bath for 2 hours to mold them to her body.

To each his own...

Reminds me of my 3 boys, two years apart, who always has hand-me-downs. The problem were how the knees became worn ...un - hand-me-downable fer sure. Then they became cut-off shorts.

I haven’t worn jeans in over 30 years. It feels like wearing cardboard.

I’m wearing sweatpants right now.

[Mr Radical]

That wasn't what I had in mind but that's a winner!
Co-ordinated denim, shoes, shirt AND necktie makes one very smart young man!

[RightGeek]

Some eye bleach

[Daffynition]

Painted on?

*Those* aren’t jeans....Jeans have 5 pockets! LOL

[Popman]

I still wear Levis, but they’re probably older than you are—LOL!

I believe I have a pair that is at least 35 years old...

Just for the weekends...so they last...

[Robert DeLong]

I'm running right out to buy myself a pair of these for sure.

[midlander]

jeans/Levi’s wear for years. Hence six pair except for a few dressier ones will last a person for years. Very serviceable and really go most anywhere outside of formal dress required.

Put on a good looking jacket and nice shoes and feel good anywhere. I love Levi’s! they come in regular blue jeans and in black jeans in recent years. Same durable fabric!!!

[Robert DeLong]

Extinct for now perhaps, but they will be back in vogue in 20 years or so. I’ll make sure to save the pairs I have and will them to the children. They can sell them. Perhaps they might even be able to start a business when they come back into style.
