Just other types of pants. To me, jeans represent discomfort and stiffness. I‘ll probably buy another pair but need to do it IRL, not online, to make sure they fit well.
Jeans give me a sense of firmness. Sometimes when I’m “too” comfortable, jeans give me a sense of structure where I feel less like a slob. Discomfort in general. Pushing yourself. Expanding your threshold, stamina, skills.
I HATE JEANS. If I wear them they have to be exactly what they are not: legging-passing. The usual stiffness stifles walking and flexibility. The band cuts into the torso when sitting or pushes out the tummy. Jeans hide the shape of my legs if not skinny and my legs are part of the look. But because of the shape they are always an awkward fit in skinny jeans 😭
