They're really uncomfortable.
as a guy, jeans just scream "I didn't try when I dressed myself this morning."

i could sympathize with your opinion until this part. what the hell? >

Ya, I hate jeans. They are the worst. But not because of appearance, because they're not at all comfortable. >

In high school I used to sleep in jeans
Now I wear pajamas in public, jeans are intolerable >

Pajamas FTW >

My choice at work is jeans or slacks. I chose jeans since I gotta walk around. >

Depends highly on industry. Jeans are standard in construction. >

Yeah but in general jeans are usually not allowed in most jobs. I don't know why either because I think it's stupid to tell me I can't wear jeans and I have to wear Dockers or whatever. >


Yeah but in general jeans are usually not allowed in most jobs. 

What jobs? Most jobs don't have a dress-code. When I worked in TV, my usual attire consisted of an old metal band T-shirt and a pair of jeans. For most blue-collar jobs this is more than enough. >

I don't know man, I feel like you just bought some shit jeans. Buy like a (properly sized) real pair of Levi's and don't wash them unless they need it and eventually those motherfuckers fit as comfy as a pair of sweats. >

I recently bought some Levi's, and now I love that brand.  They always fit right.  And are well made. >

I've worn so many different brands over my life, from cheap crap to designer, and I swear Levi's are the best. >

But I didn't try when I dressed myself this morning... >

Jeans are the definition of semi casual/formal. Go to a date in sweatpants and you look like a slob. Go to a date in dress pants and now your overdoing it. They’re the perfect balance between formal and casual. >

I’m in the Midwest and a lot of our weddings are with our “nice jeans” for the guys. That means dark wash, no holes, no stain jeans. >

Common to see dark jeans worn with a dress shirt,  tie,  and jacket too. >

Jeans are my favorite type of pant. I honestly find them more comfortable than anything else and I try to wear them as much as I can, so our disagreement comes down to that I guess. >

I really like different colors of jeans too.  It's hard to find them now.  I have pink, green and red ones. >

I tend to really just wear either black or very dark  blue jeans, but I get the appeal of the colorful ones >

Truly unpopular, well done. But you know what says even more than denim that "I don't give a shit anymore and also didnt try to dress myself this morning"?
Sweatpants. Sweatpants in public outside the capacity of any form of sports, exercise, or not having to leave your car, sweat pants in public I find disgusting and fairly pathetic and I'm a laid back guy, its not like I wear a suit everyday to run errands. But damn, sweats at the bar, grocery store, shopping, just out and about running errands you really don't give a shit huh? >

Do you feel the same way about women who wear sweats/leggings in public? >

Yes >

Have you ever tried stretch denim? I got some from JC Penny this year that are a total game changer. They are now some of the most comfortable pants I own. >

I just like slacks so much more. Guess I’m a weirdo. >

do you launder your slacks at home? or do you take them out to be dry cleaned?
many manymany years ago i had a job with a somewhat formal dress code. we were allowed to wear khakis, but i chose to wear slacks. the problem was that all my slacks were "dry clean only" and so i had to have them taken out to get dry cleaned, which is TWO errands (drop off and pick up), plus expenses. so then i found myself just ... not getting them cleaned as often as i should. and then they would get kinda rank.
if there are slacks that you can launder at home that would be a huge game changer, but the primary reason i don't wear slacks is that i can't just throw them in the wash with my shirts and towels and underwaer. >

You can often hand wash garments when the tag says dry clean only which is really easy, and if you rack dry them wet they don't need to be ironed. I get it when people don't want to, but I think a lot of unnecessary labeling has made some people afraid of fabrics like wool which are actually easier to keep clean than cotton and especially synthetics. Hand washing wool is easy because it dries quickly and dirt and odors don't stick to it >

theyre good for if youre going to be doing anything manual labor related, or outdoors. i find them comfortable, but then again i dont really notice much difference in comfort between any material of pants as long as they fit well. >

When jeans are broken in, they are comfy AF. You need to look at different styles and cuts as you get what you pay for. >

I don’t want to have to break in pants I pay good money for. They’re not shoes. They should be comfortable the first time I put them on. >

Nothing worth having comes easy... >

You win the crown for unpopular opinions 🏆 >

im wearing jeans right now, just for the comfort of them >

See I'm the total opposite, I wear mine every day including work. They're so comfy for me. I know how much some people hate them though, that's why I've never bought jeans for any of my children. >

Same. Either I'm comfortable enough for pants to be completely off, or wearing jeans. >

But but…as a guy you can wear jeans, with ANYTHING, and look good. A t shirt, sweater, jacket, button up, polo…I had a bf once that wore nothing but bball shorts and I asked him to wear jeans once (to a frickin company Xmas dinner mind you!) and he said “do I embarrass you?!” YES. YES YOU DO! Put on some jeans! >

Jeans and a graphic tee don’t make anyone look good. Any degree of attractiveness derived from someone wearing hat outfit comes from literally anything but said outfit. >

True... But there are much nicer Ts out there. Nice color, tiny logo. Striped or something. While I do agree that slacks look good, I guess I just dig the casual look for casual days. Hehe >

They grt all wrinkly. >

I see, but I love guys with jeans, a pair of jeans that fits exactly right, ; not to baggy and not too slim, is sexy! 💫 >

Those buttocks look just right in them (yes, ladies check out bums too!) >

I like jeans but can totally see why you hate them. I don't own sweatpants so they're my midpoint in formality between shorts and dress pants. Just wear what you feel comfortable in, regardless of opinion. >

Well, even as a big guy I try to be somewhat stylish, and as a result I have a lot of jeans.  It's like any type of clothing, you need to try different styles, brands, and materials. >

I'n the 90s people called sweatpants "fuckin asshole" pants. >


as a guy, jeans just scream "I didn't try when I dressed myself this morning."

as opposed to sweatpants... >

I think you've been buying the wrong jeans. >

No.  I wear jeans every day.  What I hate are those yoga or exercise pants.  That screams "I can't afford real clothes" to me. >

Jeans less comfortable than dress pants? Lol >

Usually stiffer and rougher, yeah >


"I didn't try when I dressed myself this morning."

Yes. And? >

Agreed, own one or two pairs, cant remember the last time I wore em. Funny, an ex of mine slept in jeans and I thought she was crazy for that >

Tell that to Marty McFly! >

Honestly not long ago I would agree. But now I actually don't mind jeans, because there are different types. The thinner/lighter (is that correct?) fabric jeans are actually confortable, if the shape is right for your body. And those straight jeans are also ok. But the skinny-ish jeans are just the less comfortable type of clothing anyone could ever find and don't even look good in most people.
Anyway, if that was all I would still hate jeans, but then there are the heavy jogger pants. Like, if it is tight on your ankle, it doesn't have to be uncomfortable anywhere else, why put it tight in the rest of the leg, or heavy af so it feels weird to walk around.
The only joggers that actually work, are the light ones or the jogger sweatpants. >

Do you have jeans that fit properly or skinny jeans?   If the latter, that's where you're going wrong. >

Wtf is with that slogan on the right? What does denim have to do with rape? Jesus, dude… >

It’s a whole awareness campaign. I just linked to the website so people could know what it was. Don’t blame me for Reddit plastering that logo on my post haha >

I guess it ultimately serves the purpose of this post, if inadvertently…definitely doesn’t make me wanna celebrate anything or, indeed, look at denim. >

Id rather wear jeans than anything else, they are easy, versatile, and durable. Slacks just wear too easily and dress pants are uncomfortable, sweats are just way to baggy, I have a very small waist and it's nearly impossible to find sweats that actually fit me. >

Because who the hell wants to iron daily? >

You don’t need to iron chinos or khakis. >

What are chinos ? >

The Kim family of North Korea outlaws jeans because they see it as something the "imperialist Americans" would wear. I guess in general terms of hating on jeans, you're not alone. >

Yes, I hate them! >

I wear jeans when I'm at home. Makes me feel like I'm dressed to battle. Gotta go somewhere? Let's go, I'm ready. Gotta work? I'm ready. It makes me feel more active and i hate to sink in comfort.
I genuinely think wearing specific clothing can affect how you feel. So If you feel good wearing something, wear it. >

I don't care for jeans either. A basic pair of khakis is way more comfortable, and look better in my opinion. >

I switched to khackis and honeslty can say I will never go back. Its my hot take, but any piece of clothing that you wear on regular basis that requires some "breaking in" time is not worth it. Denim needs time to shape around you to be trully comfortable, but sometimes it takes too damn long, while any other cotton pants will feel nice almost right away. 
The same goes for shoes, I bought Doc Martens because I wanted a sturdy pair of shoes, damn these things were uncofortable as hell, and even after 3 months they were almost borderline unwearable. No, never again. >

So sweatpants look like you did try your best that day? 😂 you make zero sense with that last bit my dude >

Sweatpants also send that same message but everyone already knows that, so I didn’t feel the need to point it out. >

I just don’t get how jeans let you know someone didn’t try. If you wanted to not even try and be comfortable then why would you wear jeans? Obviously you do try cause you volunteer to wear something that’s not comfortable. >

I refuse to do pants with a button or zipper. Life is too short to be uncomfortable. The people I know who like jeans are very thin. >

I hate pants in general, but especially jeans. However, athletic cut jeans are way comfier than most others jeans. I’d look into those. They make things easier. >

Yesssss! Totally agree. >

SAME. I hate how it's considered weird to not wear 'em. >

Don’t worry, I’m a girl and feel like the only woman out there who absolutely hates jeans. I won’t wear them, I refuse to, and my mother knows I hate them, goes out and buys them for me, and then is mad when I don’t like them. Like mother fucker you KNOW I hate them, you can’t complain about the loss of money when you know I won’t wear them. Fuck off with that bullshit. >

Woman here too and I hate them as well. I may try those dress yoga pants 🤷‍♀️ >

Bleh. >

I started hating jeans when I started wearing leggings. I realized that jeans are just terribly uncomfortable. If you gain a little weight or eat a little too much, they feel tight and restrictive. I go out of my way to buy stretchy pants and leggings that look like pants now >

I buy my jeans a little big and wear a belt, then you can adjust for foodies >

High end jeans are the opposite of everything you describe. Way more stylish than most other options too. >

I also hate jeans. Super uncomfortable. I own a few pairs but I don’t think I’ve warn then more than 2-3 times in the 5+ years I’ve had them >

I 100% agree. For just about every reason you listed. They're just so damn uncomfortable. 
and looking at the comments, I didn't think your opinion would be unpopular. >

I, too, hate jeans. 
The blends that are a bit stretchy are better and I have some. Women's jeans are also so ridiculously tight. I only ever wear them in winter when I'm going somewhere social and immediately change into pajama pants when I get home. >

I fucking hate jeans too with pation, they're just too uncomfortable. >

Comfort is king, I wear joggers like 90% of the time. I dont own a single pair of traditional blue jeans. They're the worst. >

Chinos >>>>> every other kind of pants >

Finally someone said it. My mom groans why don’t I wear jeans, and this is why!
They’re super uncomfortable and I’d much rather wear dresses, skirts, sweatpants, even canvas pants, just nothing denim! >

I absolutely despise jeans! The only time I ever wear them, is when I work because I work retail and that's the dress code. Literally as soon as I get home the jeans come off and sweats come on. Hell sometimes I'll take sweats with me to work and change into them as soon as I clock out >

Sweatpants gang >

Ahhhh an office drone.
edit I feel like you've never actually tried on good jeans, Levi's are a go-to specially 501s, but you have to find ones that fit your body type. I wear a 34" inseam, but have no ass, so I like jeans where the crotch rides higher so my ass isn't sagging. >

I mean kinda, but I wear camo pajamas when I go to work, so that doesn’t have anything to do with it. >

Could not agree more! Hated jeans my entire life >

Agreed. Jeans are overrated. I have only one pair and went almost two decades without them.
I think the only reason they are popular is jeans are the only pants that no one notices you’ve worn the same pants for a week. >

I prefer the look and feel of chinos and I think jeans are overrated, but they're the only casual pants that don't need to be dewrinkled. So I will usually wear them to work where it's allowed and casual outings because they're easy, and usually quite durable. It's odd that they're so casual yet so uncomfortable.
Affordable pants that pass as khakis or chinos but are made out of thin, not wrinkly sweatpants material could be a total game changer. It looks like there are some out already but they're really expensive. >

I’ve never had those issues with jeans >

I'd agree with you, I don't wear jeans unless I need to look somewhat decent, shirts all the way >

I can never find jeans that properly fit, so I just don't wear them. They are often more heavy compared to what I normally wear.
I haven't had a pair of jeans that I wore in probably 10 or so years. >

WTF are "slacks"?? UK here, never even heard that expression before. >

Khakis, dress pants, chinos, etc. >

Ah, thanks >

Fully agree -- not sure why they keep being somewhat popular
