How Many Days/Week Do You Wear Jeans?
I was doing laundry today and thought about how that task would change when I retire...
For the retired only: How many days/week do you wear jeans/shorts/sweats or a very casual equivalent?

You mean there are other kinds of pants? The only time I am not wearing jeans is when we go out to dinner at a nice restaurant. I kept a few pair of dress pants from when I was working. At the rate I wear them they should last forever.

Shorts everyday in warm weather and usually sweats/jeans in cold weather -- much of my time is spent outdoors (boating, kayaking, hiking, fishing, biking). Laundry is less complicated for sure. If I wear anything nicer it is for a very specific purpose (like a date)......

When I go in and visit my old workplace (where I maintain an office) I wear my nice jeans. And sometimes my Wahoo cowboy boots.

I live in "surf city", where putting on "jeans" is for getting dressed up. I have a closet full of Armani/Zegna from my NYC days that I keep around to feed the moths! You can go to a "5 star" restaurant in "jeans" as we are a tourist town and everybody is in "hiking gear".

I wear jeans maybe once every 6-8 weeks, only because I go to casual meetings where everyone else is wearing office attire.
I wear jeans more often than I wear socks...

I have been retired 4.5 years now and we have not had to send 'dress shirts' to the laundry yet! I still have cleaned press shirts hanging in the closet.

All casual for me. Now that DH is retired, he's a jeans, shorts and t shirt kind of guy. I don't have to iron anymore.

Jeans in winter, Shorts all summer. Would be mighty strange to go back to something as formal as "business casual". Don't miss it a bit.

I dress up other than jeans or shorts only for a wedding or funeral. When I take a cruise I will go closet shopping. Next year we may do a 5 star resort for Mother's Day brunch and I may have to dress up in one of the business pantsuits. Lots of summer days all I wear is a swimsuit and then one of my nighties. Less laundry!

I wear jeans in winter . Capris or an occasional sundress in the summer . Three days a week I go to the gym so I have several gym outfits . I usually dress nicer when we go out for dinner or to parties . Since I travel to the North a lot I have a whole different wardrobe for up there . Summer wear in Buffalo ,NY is not the same as Summer wear in Florida .

Used to wear jeans on an almost-daily basis. Wear mostly khakis now. More comfortable.
