It might look that way online but not in person. It’s a very light thin material, not clingy but nothing like real denim/jean it’s just denim color.

I’m surprised, I went to camp bais yaakov (yeshivish), we all wore denim! When did it become not yeshivish?
I’m still wearing it and never stopped. No back pockets or slits though.
Also I live in Monsey, we were always pretty casual here compared to Brooklyn/ Lakewood.

It might be new for jewish stores, but I've been wearing for a while from anthropologie, gap, and random other places |
Everything old becomes new when new people discover it. I had a tiny little denim skirt back around 1960, and have been practically living in denim skirts since at least 1970. I'm never without one: as soon as one wears out, I get another.

Pretty much every girl I knew growing up wore a denim skirt with keds and either a sweatshirt or a Benetton sweater. It was practically a uniform from high school through early 20s.

Considered not yeshivish in my circles but I still wear it. I didn’t see a problem with it. But I’m not that yeshivish because I also think the boys black and white dress code is ridiculous.

From what I can tell, yeshivish people that wouldn't have been caught dead in denim five years ago are now all wearing denim. Most common is a solid white or black t shirt (often ribbed) tucked into a denim skirt. Usually a dark denim, and definitely not stone washed or with pockets or the like. It's a more formal and less casual look than the denim we wore years ago (very loose, shirts tucked out...)
This applies to (yeshivish) people in their teens-twenties. I think the older (40s?) still has it in their head that denim is "bummy"

im yeshivish and I would wear the denim look but I live in israel now so im holding back out of respect for the yeshivish israeli culture.
OP if you want to wear it, keep an eye out with neighbors, coworkers, that kind of thing....

In my days every BY girl owned a Bis denim skirt. Then I moved to EY and stopped wearing denim. When I moved back I still didn't put it on. My yeshivish siblings don't wear denim.

I don't think she was implying that everyone who does manual labor wears denim.
But it is true that denim jeans were first developed for manual laborers (farmers, ranchers, miners, etc). The stiff fabric and riveted stress points made for durable clothing.
(I don't have any problem with denim -- it's been worn as acceptable casual everyday clothing for decades)

This is also my preference. You can get some very stylish adorable denim pleated skirts on aliexpress. For reference I’m 41 and raising my kids in an Israeli chareidi community.
