“they’re always wrong?”
Of course not! My wife wears them often.
‘i heard it’s because it’s copying from the Goyim but it doesn’t make sense to me, everything we wear is sort of “copying from the Goyim” no?’
If we were really prohibited from copying fashion from the goyim, we would not be wearing suits, ties, trousers, or fedora hats.
“Jeans were invented for farmers and by no stretch of the imagination would be considered nice”
Not true. In Europe, jeans are very fashionable — and cost much more than in the US. I’ve been to Rome where the Levi’s boutique was in the same block as the Armani and Gucci boutiques.
(BTW, they weren’t invented for farmers at all — the first use of denim was in Italian naval uniforms. In America they became popular in California mining communities.)
“bas melech?”
Well the closest thing to a bas melech in the US are President Obama’s daughters. A quick google search will show that they wear denim jeans — not denim skirts, but denim trousers. Thus denim jeans are mutar for Jewish women. 😉
(President Bush’s daughters were more likely to be photographed in miniskirts.)
“denim pants were first manufactured in America by a Jewish immigrant from Bavaria named Levi Strauss. Doesn’t this make them Jewish clothing?”
Yes, much more so than fedora hats!
“My goal in life is to be a Rebbetzin who wears em.”
I know a rebbitzin who wears jeans. It really isn’t an issue if they aren’t form-fitting and they show far less than many of the skirts that are common in the frum world.
