How many pairs of jeans do you have?

I have gotten too small (!!!) for all but one pair of my jeans & can't afford to replace all the ones that don't fit. I have 8 pairs in my old sizes & J thinks 8-10 pairs is excessive. What say you MN?

Re: How many pairs of jeans do you have?

  • I only have three, but I think that's low for most. I've found that if I own any more than 3 or 4 pairs, I just find a couple out of the stash that I love and the rest sit in a drawer. I'd guess 5 is average for others.

    Yay for weight loss though! (Assuming you were hoping to lose) My thyroid is kicking my weight loss goal's ass. sad panda. 

  • I have probably 5 pairs that fit correctly. 2 that I would actually wear and only 1 that I wear often. I have a hard time finding jeans long enough that I like how they fit so I tend to buy a pair and wear them until they are dead because I can't justify more than 1 pair at a time at $80 a pop.

  • 4 pairs of jeans that fit. I mostly wear one because they are the most flattering and are a wash that goes with everything.

  • I have more than 10 pairs. I feel ashamed to have so many is 8 is excessive.

  • I have 3 pairs in my current size, which is one size larger than prebaby.  I had 5-6 pairs in my old size

  • I have about 6 pairs but only 2 that I actually wear.  The other ones either are too tight right now or I just don't like how they look.

  • I have 3. I don't wear jeans that often though. It's too hot here.

  • I have 5 pairs.  One good pair, 2 every day pair and 2 that I wear to do outside stuff like camping or working outside.

  • I have 5 pairs as well. Two of them that I will wear all-the-time, and the other three depending on how bloated I feel that day. 

    I am trying to branch out and stop wearing jeans. It is getting easier now that spring is here, I can wear dresses more.

  • I probably have 8 pairs, of which maybe 4 are in my size (yes, a Goodwill trip is in order). Of those, I wear two pairs pretty interchangeably. I am also on the "trying to stop wearing jeans" bandwagon because it's hard for me to find them that fit well and I'd like to have more variety in my style.

  • I think I have seven pairs that I wear and one pair that I am hoping to fit into again. I also work at American Eagle, though....so that has a lot to do with it.

    I used to only own three or four pairs at a time. 

  • I currently have 4 that I wear on a semi-regular basis.  Two of them are dark wash, that I wear when we go out to dinner or when I want to dress nicer.  The other two I wear for every day use. 

    I don't think that 8-10 is excessive.  I used to own that many when I was at my fittest. 

  • i have 5 that i rotate and wear all the time. but i also have several other older pairs just in case i need jeans for doing something where i might get dirty.

  • Honestly, 'everyday' jeans I wear to work, I probably have 4. But then throw in skinny jeans for going out (I just bought another pair, sonofa...), wide leg dark wash for nicer date nights...I have easily 10.

  • 2 that fit.  I don't know how many total I have, but until recently I've been the same size since high school, and I hardly ever throw anything out.  

    I think I buy 1 pair every other year or so, if I average it out.  I think 8 new pairs at once is excessive, yes.

  • I have two pairs that currently fit but I much prefer one over the other.  Another pair will fit in about -5 pounds.  I have three from post-baby that are too big now (yay!) and are stashed away in my maternity clothes bin.

    Once I'm at my goal weight in a couple more months, I'll make sure I have 3 pairs to rotate through.  I WAH so I'm strictly in jeans or sweats most days, no dress pants.

  • I have 2 pairs.  I just pulled 5 or 6 pairs out of my closet yesterday that don't fit that I had bought right after Sophia was born.  I really need to get a few more pairs but I cannot find a pair that fit perfectly.

  • I have about 15... my wardrobe is far too large... I wear about 6 of them. 
  • I have maybe 6. Well 3 skinny/jeggings whatever, 1 pair of regular jeans I wear regularly. 2 pairs of jeans that I wear with the right top or on a non-fat day.
