Do you mean denim jeans? If so, although denim is thick and fairly warm (when dry!) it is restrictive for movement when climbing. Also, the wind blows right through denim which can cause exposure. But the worst thing is that when denim gets wet it becomes extremely heavy. If you fall into a river or steam, the weight of wet jeans is enough to pull you lower down into the water and makes swimming to safety almost impossible. Many people drown simply because they fell into water while wearing jeans. Another dangerous thing to wear in water is a thick woollen jumper.

It is suitable for neither, due to its tendancy to stay wet for hours,even after a light shower, making it heavy and cold, potentially increasing the risk of hypothermia if you are forced to make an emergency bivi overnight, or at best making for a cold, miserable day in the mountains

Should you ever wear a denim top and denim bottom together?

Wearing a denim top and denim bottom together is often called "double denim" or "denim on denim". Traditionally, this has been described as a fashion faux pax. In short, it was traditionally viewed as something that should not be worn together. In recent years, however, there have been split opinions within the fashion industry. For example, in the 2010 Spring edition of Vogue, models were featured wearing double denim while standing next to a motorbike. In a way, it portrayed double denim as a "rock chic" look. Personally, I would never wear double denim as I simply do not enjoy the look. i enjoy having some contrast between what I wear on top and what I wear on the bottom. However, just because I wouldn't do it does not mean that you shouldn't. Be creative and dress how you want to!

What clothes do mountain climbers wear?

If you're climbing indoors, wear climbing shoes, yoga pants, sweatpants, or gym shorts (nothing too short or denim), a t-shirt, and tie long hair back. If you're climbing outdoors, wear what you'd wear inside, but add lightweight clothing that isn't bulky. Don't forget your chalk bag and harness!


How do you plan a denim and diamonds party?

It should be a normal party with drinks and snacks and whatnot, but the denim and diamonds thing should be the big things after everyone gets there and says 'hi' and has a small bite or something. You should tell all your guests to bring your good or bad denim, doesn't matter. It could be for fun or for fashion (in case they want to wear the denim with the diamonds on them). I'm talking about those uggo 90's denim vests, skirts, jackets, jeans, anything! You should also get a couple bejeweller guns so that ppl can but what they want in the gun and stick it to any edge of their denim. Or, if you want to keep it simple, get a few glue guns and a BUTT-LOAD of plastic diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and amythysts(or real, whatever you want)! After everyone does what they need to do, let the glue cool down. After that's over with, have everyone wear their denim with all their 90's pride and sit down in the living room with popcorn and watch a good movie (Sex in the City / The Women / a season of Will & Grace). This will end the night with a good laugh. It'll have the girls talking for weeks! Who knows, your friend may be walking around the next day with her denim purse in hand! Scissors are also a good idea in case your cutting up old, unneeded denim to make a cute little design or something

Can you wear a Jean shirt with Jean pants?

Assuming that both materials are made of denim, the answer would be no. It is a common fashion rule that only one denim object should be worn at the same time. Wearing multiple denim objects is "overkill" and the material of the denim makes your whole body look stiff, not a very good first impression.
