I Am A Jeans And A T-shirt Kind Of Girl

I was a teenager in the late 60s/early 70s and I remember the excitement when I was allowed my first pair of jeans. I was about 14 and my mother allowed me to choose which brand I would like and I remember picking a pair of Wranglers as they were very popular at the time and my best friend had a pair. The denim was so stiff when I first put them on I could hardly walk but I felt so proud when I met up with my friends in them.

Can you remember your first jeans?

Could you wear jeans to school when you were young

@jenmil I'm a few years younger than Rebecca54, and we were not allowed to. Boys had to wear pants like corduroys or chinos are now, and girls had to wear dresses and skirts. Jeans were never allowed.

@jenmil No, we had to wear pleated knee length skirts until the 6th form (age 17) when we were allowed to wear black trousers.
