On a regular day, what kind of pants do you wear the most? Does it depend on the day? Does it depend on your mood or activity? Or perhaps you wear the same kind of pants no matter what. We want to know!
Jeans are the most popular style of pants across the world. Jacob W. Davis and Levi Strauss are to thank for this, when they decided to make something comfortable and durable for the gold miners and prospectors in the late 1800s. Now if only you could discover gold every time you wore a pair of jeans…
Thanks for voting in the poll below. Please be patient if it takes a moment to load (the poll elves sometimes take a while to wake up…)

What kind of pants question is best answered by the weather forecast. Generally we try to go where the weather suits our clothes; but when temps are below 55 degrees outside the jeans always come into play. Lee or Wrangler jeans-no not never ever liberal Levis, that company has lost its way.
Typical comment from a low-information “exceptional” American!
Sir/Madam, Everyone is entitled to their opinion, whether or not you agree with it.
Yes PGR, get over it! His choice just like who to vote for, his choice.
The day I start ascribing political affiliation to my pants is the day I know I need to rethink my life choices.
I see we have another “Barry”. I will change mine to “Barry T.” if’n I can figger out how.
Wrangler jeans and T shirts, usually tie-dye. I’m searching for a new brand of jeans. The last couple of pairs were not made in USA.
Good luck with USA made jeans. In Texas, Wrangler rules, with Levi’s coming in second. Send my Wranglers to the cleaners for a bit of starch (George Strait). Lee jeans are a comfortable fit. I have one pair of Lee jeans in black and sometimes wear with my tuxedo. Signed Barry T
Good luck Dan I don’t think any jeans are made in the Good old USA. But, LL Beans jeans are nice.
Dan, try LL Bean jeans. Own both regular and flannel. Finding a pair made in USA I think is impossible.
Haven’t worn jeans since High School. What type of pants depends on the situation and the weather.
Shorts and Tevas, 10 months of the year. Jeans when working on RV.
It was a toss-up between jeans and cargo, but if I’m honest, jeans win out. Cargo pants are great for driving because I can put my wallet in a leg-side pocket – and not sit on it. Shorts when it’s warm of course.
I’m with you on that. Had bad siatica issue about ten years ago and had to switch which rear pocket my wallet went in. Talk about re-learning a habit. It took months.
Since I’m retired and spend most of my time around the house, winter is usually sweats, summer is cargo shorts, heavy-duty work or out-and-about is jeans. Haven’t worn dress pants in close to 7 years.
Depends on the season! Jeans in cold weather. Cargo shorts or similar in summer.
Jeans below 75, shorts above.
Like your Thinking.
Believe in K.I.S.S. [because my Wife tells me!!] But ain’t that Stupid!! [LOL]
What? No yoga pants? Knickers? Or peddle pushers?
Arizona winters, shorts 99% of the time.
Shorts of course, at least until January. Then I may go to khakis. Once temps reach 55-60 it is back to shorts.
I miss my shorts a lot but ya gotta do what ya gotta do to stay warm north of 49 (almost). Jeans are needed unit Spring returns.
I miss winter in Mexico a lot too, when it’s shorts all the time. Well, not so much, as recently our friends near Puerto Vallarta are saying they need warmer clothes as the weather is way below normal. It’s jeans time there too.
TEST – Changing my name to Barry T, not that I disagree with the other Barry. Just simplifying things.
I have nice (i.e., unstained) jeans that I wear traveling and work (i.e., stained) jeans that I wear at home — if we are home, then we are usually working around the house or farm. In the evenings I wear warm-up bottoms or other running clothes because my arthritic knees don’t allow me to actually run any longer.
Clean. Ha
“aaahhhh, khakis?”
Zip off aka convertible pants…easy change as the day warms up and they dry really fast
Depends on weather, location and occasion. Normally in FL it’s shorts. We are here between October and June. In PA, it’s shorts in summer, but when temps fall below 65, it’s jeans. Then on certain occasions, it’s either dress pants or jeans, date nights (enjoy this every so often), dinners with friends at nice restaurants or meetings and religious services.
I truly don’t understand those that show up in public in pajama bottoms. I guess their mother never taught them how to dress. To me, it’s the epitome of laziness!
Penny. Totally agree with you. I add sweats to that list. Man or woman. Not for public wear
This needs more clarification. During the pandemic the answer for me is sweats and/or pajama pants since I don’t go out. When I do venture to the grocery store it is jeans.
Pants that fit.
I wear cargo pants in the winter and cargo shorts in warm weather.
Because we’re full-time and follow the Sun, I’m in shorts 365. Maybe I’ll miss 2 or 3 days, but as a whole, it’s shorts. Even ask for shorts when I’m buried just in case it’s warm where I’m headed.

I wear shorts all summer and then long jeans or cargo pants in the winter
Me 2
shorts all year long dont own long pants
Shorts but they’re cargo shorts.
About three years ago, I saw another gent wearing Wrangler Riggs Work Wear Ranger Pants at an RV event. Riggs Work Wear has several styles of pants but the Ranger line are cargo pants which work VERY well for me. Plenty of pockets, VERY sturdy construction that launders easily and LASTS! I got almost THREE YEARS of heavy use out of my first pair. Not many stores stock Riggs Work Wear (usually Farm / Field type stores). Available on Amazon and other online vendors. Riggs Work Wear is SUBSTANTIALLY better that “ordinary” Wrangler cargo pants and, although Riggs outlasts “plain” Wrangler pants by a factor of 10, they are only two or three times the cost of the “ordinary” Wrangler line. I recently scored two pairs on sale for what I pay for the “ordinary” Wrangler line. I picked up two pair. PS: the sizing is accurate.
shorts year round…even in the house during winter. except when we go to dinner, a movie, etc, then it’s jeans. i have a dress pair of slacks, a dress shirt and shoes for the very rare times they’re needed. i gave all my work ties (except two) to goodwill when i retired.
Where I worked it was casual Fridays, then casual summer days. It was about that time I started telling folks if they saw me wearing a tie, somebody had better be dead!
If I am out and about then its jeans.
If it is cold weather then I wear sweatpants inside.
If I am being lazy, and it is not cold, then I wear pj/lounging pants.
Occasionally I wear shorts but its not my thing.
I’d suggest that men 65 and older who wear Levi’s stand in front of a full length. Jeans just do not fit older men like they did when they were younger. Being old myself, I know. 🙂
I had to go with other. Since retirement six years ago, in summer it’s always shorts & jean shorts about half the time. Winter time for the first five years it was only jeans. This year I realized I had several pair of cargo pants from my working days and put them in the mix. Once they wear out it’ll be all jeans again.
I grew up wearing jeans and still wear them, in summer it’s shorts.
Depends on the season! Summer the answer is shorts, winter it changes to jeans. Spring and autumn it depends on weather.
Jeans for me until summer, then I make cutoffs out of the pairs with holes
They need to make ‘stretchy’ an option lol.
