Are you a jeans or khakis person?
For 7 or 8 years I was a khakis person, in fact I didn't even own a pair of jeans, nor did I want to. However this Christmas my mom bought me a few pairs of Levis and now I am totally addicted to wearing jeans to the point where I haven't worn a pair of khakis in almost a month!

I realize that I have to wear khakis when I have to dress up for work but I must say I am a convert to denim and am loving it! I think I have to make up for all the lost time spent not wearing jeans.

So what kind of person are you?

1. The same, just in reverse ...
I switched from jeans to khakis and am quite happy about it.

2. A little from column A, a little from column B
I wear either/or for the most part, but probably jeans more often than not lately.

And my khakis are all the flat-front kind, too-- no pleats, because they make me look fat. :silly:

13. I usually wear military fatigue pants
I've got 'em from three or four different armies. They're baggier and more comfortable and don't chafe like jeans do. But I have both jeans and khakis for when I need them.

Wearing some old West German camo pants just now.

17. I wear khakis when I want to pull the wool over the eyes of society
But I'm a jeans person, even when I wear silk, somehow the jeans in me shows through.

22. I sometimes wear khaki-colored jeans
the best of both worlds, I guess. I tend to wear jeans (blue, black or tan) in the winter and khakis in the summer.

23. I wear jeans for casual wear, and for my current jobs
Which may expose me to cleaning products, bodily fluids/excrement/vomit, physical aggression, thrown/spilled foods and beverages, etc.


However in the past I've had jobs where I've worn khakis, and if I get a similar job in the future I'll wear khakis.

28. Jeans all the way, although
I do have a couple of pairs of green colored denim stretchy jeans just for fun. I have a few blue colored jeans, because they didn't have as many black pairs as I wanted and I needed the clothes at the time. And the majority of my jeans are black. I love black jeans.

My most favorite jeans of all were the Lip Service jeans from the 80's. I found a couple pairs of them for $15 a pair, which for Lip Service is cheap, in the early nineties and wore them out pretty quickly. Can't afford them now and they don't make 'em like they used to anyhow. :(

33. i'm ruled by fashion -- so i dress for effect.

36. I detest wearing khakis. Jeans are my distinct preference.
I don't think I've ever owned a pair of khaki pants.

37. khakis for the most part because I work
and we have a "business casual" dress code. My lunch buddies and I call it barely business casual. They pretty much tolerate anything except jeans and t shirts. On Fridays we can wear jeans and t shirts but not the rest of the week.

38. Where can you buy good khaki's?
All the ones I see are stretch twill and made for a 15 year old. I don't want elastic waist, granny khaki's but where are the good old khaki's you used to be able to buy?
