I only own one pair of jeans, so I won' be parting with them anytime soon. I tried to fade out my new ones, but they're still pretty dark blue. Levi's is the designer name on my jeans, and I don't wear anything in particular with them.

I have more than ten pairs of jeans, and I have no style preference - I like them all! Earl Jeans is the designer name on my jeans, and my favorite items to wear with them are tank tops, t-shirts, and flip-flops. Do I have a pair of jeans that I just can't part with? Yes - the pair I'm wearing right now!

I own two pairs of jeans, and they're both dark blue. The designer name Evisu usually decorates the seat of my jeans, and I like to wear my Playboy underpants with them. These jeans are my favorite.

The brainstorm of dry good salesman Levi Strauss who sold them to the minors of the California Gold Rush, jeans have been in style for 150 years. Whether you wear them skin-tight and sexy or loose and baggy - or both - these versatile must-haves won't let you down. So, how many pairs you own? What shade of denim you prefer, and what designer names decorate the seat of your jeans? What's your favorite item to wear with them, and do you have a pair of jeans that you just can't part with?

I own five pairs of jeans, and jeans with the Cimaron designer label fit me perfectly. I'll wear anything with my jeans, but I don't have a pair that I just can't part with.

I have ten pairs of jeans. I prefer new ones, and I like them faded because it's hot. I like to make my own faded jeans. The only designer name that I wear on my jeans is DIESEL. I like to wear tight, no-sleeve shirts with my jeans, and I can't part with my premium DIESEL jeans.
