I own a pair of jeans that i sometimes wear on vacation.
I also own a pair with leather trim that I sometimes wear on purim.
The purim pair was even more interesting when I was fat, because they are a size 32. (i was 37 in heyday)
Wolf no one thinks that wearing jeans makes you an apikorus.
It’s a converse relationship. Because you are an apikorus you are wearing jeans.
Simple logic.

Are you using “jeans” to mean “denim” or “pants”. Are you talking about work or dress?
In general, “denim”, the fabric form which “bluejeans” or “dungarees” are made is used for physical work, and is considered to be undressy. It is what you would wear to work if you are on a construction site, not what you would wear to work in an formal office (especially in the well dressed East Coast of the US, other areas are less formal). It would be inappropriate to wear when visiting the President or the monarch, or appearing in court – so, kal vehomer, in shul.
If you are talking about “jeans” to mean “pants” the answer is the same as to whether you wear “pants” – which depends on a variety of personal factors.
Epis, I honestly want to tell you that this conversation has been had numerous times in the CR. People don’t want to hash over the same controversial topics. There is a search mode up in the top section of the CR about how to search for old threads. Why don’t you use that and see what the latest conversations have said.
akuperma- nowdays jeans can be worn as classy pants. Weve already had numerous discussions about this
I thinks jean are okay as long as they are not tight
