Good jeans

[Ricky]

Its 2024. What brands and styles of jeans do you recommend?

Gap jeans are good; Old Navy ideal if you are on a budget. Banana Republic if you are balling.

I like them straight. Get whatever is comfortable for you and medium wash since it is more versatile since you can dress it up or down.

Yeah its funny my color preferences now. I used to like lighter color jeans but prefer darker mostly but honestly not sure the style rules anymore.

thanks for the tips. Ive always liked banana republics shirts ive gotten so need to check them out again for jeans too i guess

Believe it or not, but different brands look better on some body shapes than others.
For instance, are you tall and skinny with a flat bootie? Then my friend, Levi's are for you. However, if you have a little more junk in your trunk, Believe it or not, Wrangler was made for you.
Seriously, go try some different brands on.
Is Lucky Jean's still a thing?

Doing ok. I have had a rough few years since 2020 with marriage issues and lost some family members and friends so that brought me back to here and some other support groups

I used to swear by Levi (and still own a lot of Levis). That being said, the quality of Levis has gone down through the years (I'm more impressed with my older Levis than my newer Levis)

Amazon brand jeans are good. I own a decent amount. Seriously, Amazon brand is much better than it sounds.

I also have a pair of Old Navy jeans I bought in 2016. The fact they're still holding up says it all.

Sorry to hear about the rough years. We all go through them. Glad to see you back here!

My old jeans are also better quality to this flimsy material that is on the market today. Nothing is made to last anymore.
