I've heard this, too - and then you see what people wore to the Paisley shows and I'm mystified! I always think if I were going there, to stand mere feet away from Prince? No. I would not be wearing my best flannel, if you know what I mean.

I know! I used to think that same thing. I know the world is more casual in general, and some folks just wear what they have and be glad they're even there at Paisley. But I would have felt so underdressed and scrubby wearing some of the ensembles I've seen out there.

.

Then you have those who wore "dressy" but very little when perhaps a flannel over the top of their outfit might've been welcomed.

.

In the end I suppose it doesn't matter - people got to see and hear Prince and be at Paisley, and they have incredible memories. But it's funny to talk about some of the clothings choices seen parading around there over the years!

I had to get that out

Is flannel really big in Minnesota or something? Lol, I don't think I've seen anyone wearing flannel since the 90s grunge thing. Then again I live in Texas.

I ALWAYS dressed up for Prince concerts. Just in case... Hahaha, just kidding. I did it cause he made me feel feminine and good about myself.

i always tried to have fun with the shiny side or at least a little dressy when i went to the parties at paisley park. in fact upstairs right now there's a pair of glimmery gold pants and matching top i wanted to wear to the next dance party.

I was watching an Australian special on Prince. They had an interview with his hairdresser who said that Prince didn't want his staff wearing jeans while at Paisley Park, on tour, etc. She said that the crew had to look "sleek" all the time. Why was Prince opposed to wearing jeans? I believe he wore jeans on the "Sign O' The Times" tour and even earlier ("Prince"/ "For You" era).

.

Prince was very aware of his image and that of his band and that of his employees. It's like IBM requiring their employees to wear nice suits. Image does matter in a lot of cases.

I'm a grungy, 90's kid but I'm starting to figure out that there's nothing wrong with a little bit of glamour in every day life. I don't need to look at an outfit and think "do I have anywhere special to go today or should i just stay in sweats and save that for another day." What am i saving it for? Why not look nice for myself?

As far as concerts go, I went to his first in jeans and a t-shirt. I knew better after that. You DRESS for a Prince concert.

I often wondered about the jeans thing myself. A few days ago I realized I had never seen him in a pair of jeans before in my life. Even when he was wearing sneakers, he was still classy from head to toe. Personally, i couldn't give up jeans but damn, he always looked good.

Morris Day has been sharing LOADS of photos on his FB page. Prince *did* wear jeans when he was young - high school age.

Care to share? I'm not on the book of the face.

I'm on my phone but let's see if this works - https://www.facebook.com/...ndthetime/

Didn't he sing something about 'the devil with the blue jeans on' in Days of Wild?

Ah no... It was in Face Down...

Him and her meaning who I'm singin' about
And his psychoanalyst kinda saw the catalyst
As the devil with the blue jeans on, huh
Ain't it kinda funny when U see the dawn?
Sign the name they gave ya
But when them motherfuckers turn around ass up, U're what?

I've seen photos of Prince in jeans, but that was before he was really rich and famous.
