I think denim overalls are the better option
Just clip then on and go
no fussing with belts and waist restrictions
I saw an australian garden show and the farmer types were wearing them
while the cowgirl australians were wearing jeans with big shiny belts and cowgirl hats
but in nz that wont work because we have dairy farms where its wet not dry
and you might be knee deep in mud rather than dealing with a desert dust storm
I dont know how jeans became 'the fashion' item
when they dont really work for most situations, and now Im reading that people wear them over their boots instead of inside their boots
which sort of defeats the purpose
of course then they will get frayed to bits if you wear them like that

Modesty in and of itself is about a.) Not being overtly sexual and b) not showing too much flesh. It's being humble in appearance.
In a land where men are accustomed to seeing women in jeans and shorts, a woman in a dress stands out, draws attention to herself and by nature becomes an object of sexual desire.
Dressing here as a Muslim in hijab is actually overtly sexual in the eyes of American men. And you literally can't cover any more skin than wearing hijab, or show any less.
So it's as much about not being too different than it is about anything else. It's just having a reasonable modesty and blending in to large degree.
If that's wearing jeans in western countries, then so be it..

nz isnt a western country
we arent cowboys lol
so, really no need to wear jeans.
Jeans arent modest, they are expensive, esp the designer ones. also what is with the abomination of skinny jeans with holes in them.
the clothes that DO blend in are - camouflage khakis, grey, and brown colour.
Or uniforms
in nz, to blend in you need to wear All Black clothes like a rugby player. They dont play in jeans, its. a black jersey and black shorts.
Nobody can see you in the dark

if you wore jeans ppl may get the false impression you are american and liked showing off your butt
there are just too many videos on you tube by people who say I hate jeans, so, its seems clear to me that although it might be some kind of regulation fashion uniform in the US, a lot of women actually detest wearing them...enough to make a 5 minute you-tube video on why this is so
So do they want to blend in and look like a man? I dont know.

I found out there are 'mom jeans'
haha
I thought those were jeans given by your moms to wear cos they cant be bothered clothing you in anything else
I remember my mum giving me a pair of very high waisted jeans, so it looked like I had a huge crotch or was slightly pregnant with a very long zipper fly.
They were some chinese brand of knock off jeans that LOOKED like jeans but would not pass for Levis.
They also had some weird centre seam down the front of the leg
While I rmemeber another girl in high school said her mum ironed her jeans with a crease down the centre of the leg lol
At the time, the craze was for Origin label jeans that only the rich kids could afford. They were not blue they came in all colours so did not even look like jeans but people insisted they were jeans
it had surpassed the red tab levis at that point of no return till all the clothing stores sold everything as jeans even if they were not techinically jeans

Crocs came out with a very comfortable, nice shoe with a heel that was very popular but they stopped making them. They are extinct now.
just for fun
I will put in the miscellaneous forum
cos obviously SOME people dont like fun threads on the singles
That was de rigueur when I was a teen. Course it was bell bottoms then, not boot or straight cut jeans
So would be curious to read how they changed with culture how they even played a part in culture change. Ways that a counter culture arose and dressed unique in their own way to identify themselves and their counter culture. One thing is for sure blue jeans have shaped past and even present culture and they have changed and adapted just as much as mankind has during the period of history they have been introduced even to this present day. They have kept pace and moved parallelly with mankind as culture and attitudes have changed.

sweat pants just get linty
something you cant avoid, but they are very comfortable!
I have some linen pants that are navy, and they are cool to wear in summer
jeans I just find very heavy...and I have a light frame so...if I want a heavy duty pants Id wear cargos at least the pockets are more practical and the colours are khaki, which is better for gardening cos of grass stains and what not
I even have green pair of chinos that got passed off as jeans in the jeans store. They are lighter cotton and a lot more comortable than jeans
Jeans just bewilder me a bit. I dont understand them really. I think jeans for women should be called Janes or something else to differentiate them. They are kind of ubiquitous but a lot of trouble IMHO.
sometimes I think that people just want others to wear the exact same thing as everyone else so they dont feel like a dork, but then it makes you feel like a dork anyway. lol
that is the way it goes, not sure if thats a healthy relationship with the rags we wear! Christians arent supoosed to care about what we wear anyway.

I've never spent more than 50 dollars for a pair of jeans (I'm big on sales), while I'm frequently forced to spend far more on slacks and dresses... so, not that expensive.
However, if no one wears them in NZ then why worry about what people in other countries are wearing,?
Styles always vary with different cultures...
