Don’t elementary school kids wear jeans anymore

My kids think they are dressy too! When I was a kid we used to be fancy Sunday best dress people. I loathed it!

Mine wears khaki shorts unless it's really cold. I'm so glad his dress code prohibits athletic attire.

Good luck in high school

Mine are in high school.

Then you kids have issues if you have clothing rules for them.

My elementary DD wears a lot of jeans and gets tons of compliments on them. I think she's sort of a trend setter, and thrives on the positive attention. She likes ones like these:

She recently asked for black jeans and when I ordered skinny fit ones, I got a big eye roll and was informed that wide legs were cool. I also think they're probably more comfortable for her at gym and recess, but what do I know.

I think I had sisters of those pants in college.

Mine hates "hard pants." Lol at jeans being church clothes. Would have loved that as a kid instead of scratchy stockings and dresses!

My ES boy wears jeans in fall and winter, and my daughter will not touch them with a forked stick.

They are too stiff and uncomfortable compared to track pants. People aren’t working on farms and factories anymore, we don’t need heavy duty clothes.

Mine refuse. They only want soft pants. The closest I can usually get is jeggings for DD - if it's a special occasion!

Mine wears either khakis, khaki joggers (I'm not sure how to describe them? They are khaki fabric but have elastic on the top and bottom) or khaki shorts to school, and then the rest of the time its all gym shorts and sweatpant/track pants.

Mine don’t. They don’t even own jeans anymore.

Nope. Not even in high school or middle school, either.

Girls are more prone to wearing jeans in HS but even then it's rare. They live in leggings and joggers.

+1 - Ours plays daily soccer at recess and a few times a week after school.

This is hilarious!

So true - especially after the world cup last year - they are very excited to see what countries their friends are wearing

Never. No pants with buttons or zippers at all - no jeans, no trousers, no khakis. Same rule for shorts.

I have tons of hand me downs and immediately donate all the hard pants. They don’t get worn.

My DD doesn't love jeans either but will wear them on occasion. It seems like it is legging city at her current school (we are temporarily in another state for a year). Next year we are back to uniforms, which she loves and takes seriously (i.e., she wears skirts and blouses when so many kids wear school tshirts and quasi-sweatpants), so this tells me it's not that she wants to wear athleisure or look more casual, it's just that she doesn't find jeans comfortable.
