Barmymoo:
Fashion thread, I need jeans advice. I've lived pretty permanently in jeans for the last four years, but in the last year I've been going through pairs really fast - they develop holes on the inside leg, about a hand's-width from where the seams meet at the crotch. At first I assumed it was due to the amount of cycling I was doing, because it's about where the seat rubs when I pedal, but I've not cycled at all since buying this pair and they're beginning to rub through.
I have no idea what could be causing it, because I've not been doing anything differently - I've not been washing them more, or folding them, or doing anything that might cause extra wear. Could it be to do with having put on a bit of weight? I'm at a loss and I can't afford to buy jeans at this rate!
bainidhe_dub:
I definitely get this too, I think just from walking a lot and the seams/your legs rub together. I never really found a solution, just have a lot of unevenly cut and indecently short cutoffs, but I think getting some jeans that actually fit helps too - Katie said something here about the difference between how even and odd sized girls' jeans are cut and it was a friggin revelation to have pants that actually seem kinda interested in not falling down all the time.
Barmymoo:
That could definitely be it - the last several pairs have all been too big, because I go shopping with my mother and she thinks that clothes should be incredibly baggy, so she tells me that my trousers are too tight until I feel like a whale and buy three sizes up. Next time I'll go with a friend and buy some that fit!

Actually, I tend to have the same problem with jeans.
Lupercal:
I get that jeans thing too. I just thought it was from either fluctuating weight (only by 1-2 inches on the waist every now and then) or from sitting down a lot. You sit down, the material is stretched cos my legs are apart, then just doing that for ages. I'd suggest rotate jeans, and if you're sitting down a lot wear "house trousers" so that your going out jeans stay intact.
As far as shoes go - I still think that Converse All Stars are amazingly comfortable and never really look that bad, especially with jeans etc.
