I know this sound a little weird, because, like, 90% of the U.S. wears jeans, but I hate jeans. There is nothing that will get me into jeans. So what I want to know, is what to wear as an alternative to jeans. I wear sweat-pants everywhere. I need know this because I'm going to a new school in a week, and I am afraid that I'm going to get teased.
So if you have an alternate for jeans, and sweats, It would be must appreciated.
They can come in various styles and patterns so some are very nice looking! They can add a lot of spice to a dull wardrobe too since bright colors are more acceptable on skirts.
There are long, knee-length, and short skirts and dresses. You can get thin or heavy material. You can have solids or patterns. There are many different styles of skirt/dress too--like straight, a-lines, pencil skirt, layered, pleated, etc:
Skirts and dresses also add to your appearance, making you look more put together and mature. In my experience, you seem to be treated more lady-like than when wearing jeans. I seem to get more respect and be taken more seriously when I wear a classy-type skirt. You can also have some frilly-cutsey looking things that make you look more playful and fun or ones that make you appear classy. This means you can dress a skirt up or down :)
I really like skirts/dresses because they don't cling to the thighs and legs like jeans do. They can hide wide hips or create a more hourglass shape if you're lacking. They're especially good to wear if you sweat a lot since they let your legs get more airflow than with pants.
Here is a few cute skirts I found online for suggestions:
Skirts and dresses are always in because they come in SO many different styles. There is such a wide selection that it's pretty impossible to find something that isn't in style--you wouldn't believe how much vintage dresses go for nowadays!
There is also the choice of dress pants, that can make you look super classy if you dress appropriately:
If you are male then the only things I can really suggest is khakis and dress pants. Remember that you can get material in pants or shorts too so that may help with variety issues. Guys don't have as much variation as women do since we can always turn to a whole new selection of skirts and dresses that men aren't able to wear.

you can try khakis and corduroy pants! and you can also wear knit yoga pants. they're tight so it won't look like sweatpants. you can also wear skirts / dresses (in winter, just put on a pair of leggings so you don't get cold). i know that some of my friends have always wondered what to do in the wintertime cause they wear jeans EVERYDAY. but definitely buy a pair of corduroy and khaki pants with different colors, like light brown, dark brown, navy...
