Got my first pair of new jeans at 47!

[Anonymous]

Very, very long story/life but I got my first ever new pair of jeans at 47 and am wearing them today. They feel a little stiff. I hope I feel like I deserve them more soon it feels strange but good and a little exciting to me.

That's nice! (corrected it for you so you don't accidentally seem like an a******)

Congrats, OP. Out of all the styles, cuts and colors, how did you determine what you wanted?

Tell me more. Style, length, brand, etc etc.

So if they fit you well now wash on cold and don't put them in the dryer.

What a great feeling OP - enjoy!

Thank you! I actually read some posts here..I didn't want the wide boot cut ones so that made it easier to pick.

They're not really fancy they are lee straight leg midrise jeans. So far so good!

Jeans and their many washes are garments that are very hard on the environment, particularly in terms of water pollution.

I buy a lot of clothes second hand on Poshmark and I make a point of not buying new jeans. Plus, on those sites (or thrift stores), you can usually find designer items at affordable prices.

I don't fault you for being excited about a new pair of jeans, though, OP! It's nice to have that experience! But hopefully you'll come to the realization that there isn't that much difference, and being eco-friendly also has its importance.

You never owned jeans?

I'm certainly curious about the backstory but good for you! It's an exciting day when we try something new for the first time even though it's old hat to most. I can remember being a plus size teen finding out for the first time that they made jeans in my size. Was thrilled. So I get it and I am happy for you!

I'm thinking conservative Christian culture. I have some relatives who think women should always wear skirts/dresses and pants are for men.
