How many pairs of jeans should a woman own? Well, in all honesty that answer depends on your lifestyle, budget, and preferences. Studies indicate that the average American woman owns seven pairs of jeans and 25% of American women own 10 or more pairs of jeans. Yet, most women only wear four pairs out of their jeans collection on a regular basis.
With such a dizzying array of cuts, washes, lengths, and fabrics, the endless options can be extremely overwhelming even for the seasoned denim-guru. You may want them all and may want to buy each season’s newest trend, but which ones do you really need? I believe every woman should own five essential pairs of jeans and each pair should fit properly. Unfortunately, there’s no correct answer to how jeans should fit. But a good fit is one that balances out your proportions and highlights your best attributes. Just like the pain of finding the perfect fitting bathing suit, you must try on many different styles and brands to determine the most flattering fit.
Here are the five pair of jeans every woman should own:
1. The date-night jean:
This is that special jean that hugs your curves and emphasizes your best ass-ets! It’s also defined as the “dressier” jean in your collection. The date-night jean should be a dark rinse to give them a more polished look. It’s also the jean you tend to wear with heels. The date-night jean should be considered your favorite pair.
2. Everyday classic – dark rinse:
This is your “go-to” jean that you can dress up or down. This is the jean in your collection that you can easily wear from daytime to nighttime (hence you need an everydayjean in a medium to dark rinse). It can be worn with sneakers, flats or heels (a cropped length is optional, but one of your “everyday classic” jeans should be a cropped length”).
Another essential jean to your collection should be one more pair of the everyday classic. However, this pair should be in a light rinse and considered the most casual pair in your collection. These are the jeans that are your most comfortable and reflect a cool and laid back vibe.
4. The fashion jean:
The fashion jean also referred to as the “novelty” jean. It’s the jean that’s on-trend for the season. It’s the jean with patches, embellishments, rips, fringe, or comes in a unique denim color, etc. Your jeans collection should have one novelty jean to spice up all your tops for the season. Unfortunately, these jeans can be short-lived as they tend to be subjected to how long a trend lasts. So pick a fashion jean that best expresses your style-personality and have fun styling them.
5. The summer essential:
For summer, it’s all about keeping things fun and care-free. The summer essential jean should be light-weight, cropped, and a very light color. Your summer essential should be a white-jean (also known as the “summer uniform”). It is a must-have in your jeans collection because it matches every top in your wardrobe, it can be dressed up or down, and makes every old top look new again. As most of us women know, it’s the most-valuable-player in our pant collection!
As a professional, having a few pairs of jeans in your wardrobe is essential for different occasions. Aim to have at least three to five pairs of high-quality jeans in various styles, such as straight leg, skinny, or bootcut. This ensures you have options for casual outings, business-casual events, and evenings out.
Consider the classic jeans, annually more than 4.5 billion pairs of jeans were sold worldwide, making it one of the most common garments in the world. Denim, a fundamental component of the casual wardrobe, has become a staple textile within the global apparel market.
Research cited by Fashion United found that on average women own 7 pairs of jeans and that men own on average 6 pairs, but despite this, we only really wear 4 pairs that we own. So why is that so many of us have more jeans that we actually need or actively wear?
Wash jeans infrequently, ideally every 5-6 weeks or as needed. Avoid washing jeans too frequently, as it can lead to color fading and fabric wear. Consider spot cleaning minor stains instead of washing the entire garment. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, as they can damage the fabric.
Black and blue colored jeans go well on mostly all colour shirts/t-shirts. But, if you have to choose between two, black is more preferable as it goes with every color regardless of it's shade.
North America accounts for 39% of global purchases for jeans, followed by Western Europe at 20%, Japan and Korea at 10% and the rest of the world at 31%. United States consumers spent more than US$14 billion on jeans in 2004 and US$15 billion in 2005.
Jeans sizes are indicated in inches, for example 30/32. The first number indicates the waist size and the second indicates the inside leg length. Determine your inch size by measuring jeans that fit well. The inside leg length is measured from the top of the inside leg to the bottom opening.
"Denim is a thick fabric (unlike your average T-shirt) so you can get away with more wears between washes. We recommend washing after 10 or so wears—or whenever jeans smell stale or unpleasant.
It is safe to say that denim is a key garment for many Americans. The average American owns about 7 pairs of jeans, but only wears about 4 of those pairs (FashionUnited, 2016).
One or two pair less than completely fills your washer. It depends, of course, on the size of your washer, and the size of your jeans. Do not over-crowd the load, or your jeans will not get clean, and you will have over-taxed your machine.
A good rule of thumb is to wash your jeans after every 3-10 wears, or when they start to smell. If you're regularly active in your jeans (think: manual work, anything where you work up a sweat), wash them every 3 wears, but if you're working at a desk, you can probably go through multiple wears without washing.
