For guys, anyway. I can see where women, who have been historically expected to wear tight and/or skinny jeans would say that.

I’d say jeans are a little heavy for summer, but I try to avoid wearing a long pant in summer as much as possible, anyway.

Weekends in the winter, I mostly wear a jean. I don’t find them any less comfortable than chinos, etc. And they’re more durable and can be worn more between washings.

- disagree. if i’m not going to the office or a social gathering of any kind, it’s light vuori joggers and a (usually michigan but sometimes plain) athletic T shirt or long sleeve for me. - By DetUMICH August 6, 2026 at 07:47:21 PM
- How do you feel about athleisure wear, like golf pants? Jeans are usually heavy AF and there aren't many other options.* - By buymybonerpills August 6, 2026 at 07:05:46 PM

      - They are just too stiff, too bulky, and too hot. Don’t you like a hiking pant? Just wear that instead (nm) - By danny August 6, 2026 at 07:32:14 PM
        
        I wear that sort of pant a lot. But a jean is more durable for all sorts of house/yard work (in cool weather) - By Craig August 6, 2026 at 07:35:09 PM
        
        All true, but comfort trumps durability for me in most cases - By danny August 6, 2026 at 08:20:23 PM
