The fact that you think expensive jeans are "nice clothes" says a lot. They are still jeans.
What does it say? What is it about jeans that makes you think they can't be considered "nice clothes"?
You seem really hung up on this.

raw denim will last you the rest of your life if you take care of it
Well lets see, I'm almost 40 years old. A pair of jeans typically last me 3-5 years, so I'll use 4 years for this exercise. Lets say I have another good 50 years in me (which is an exaggeration since even if I do have another 50 years, I'd imagine the last ten or so of those years will be spent in shorts or sweat pants) That's 8 pairs of $50 jeans required to get me to the promised land, totaling $400. Even if I buy ten more pair instead of eight, at least I still have the flexibility of different colors and cuts, rather than just one pair that were styled 40 years ago and now look ridiculous...

Friend, the only jeans a female should wear that doesn’t contain spandex are trouser cut. I venture to say the same for me.
Saggy arse isn’t flattering on anyone despite the quality of denim.
This is misleading the masses I tell you!

And for those of you who buy expensive jeans, trust me when I tell you this, no one can tell if your jeans were $50 or $500.
Even setting aside labels and construction there are plenty of people that can just look at the fabric from a few feet away and identify the quality. It is no different than I can look at suit fabric and tell immediately if it is a quality Super 80, 130, 180, 250, or some dreck from Men's Warehouse.

The raw denim jeans are just more upfront cost, but considering they will last forever, not more expensive in the long run. I still wear em like I would any other jeans, to sporting events, going out, casual and dressed up.
I do manual labor in other pants, not jeans. Blue Mountain from Tractor Supply, $15 FTW!

My raw denim are $235 ($200 when I bought them). And the style would fit in any generation. They aren't skinny or baggy. Classic cut jeans are timeless.

Occasionally.
But I'll usually wear them for at least a week between washings.

Because they are fricking jeans....
Think of an occasion or event that does/should require a person, who is in attendance, to dress "nice". Wedding, funeral, baptism, charity banquets, etc. Jeans should not be worn in any of those occasions because when someone is dressing nice, they aren't throwing a pair of jeans on. This is common fricking sense, geez...
ETA:
Wearing a pair of jeans and thinking you are dressed nice is no different that throwing on a Columbia fishing shirt and thinking you are dressed nice.

Get you some. These bad boys right here- $500.
I have a pair of those.
They take measurements and custom make them. I honestly don’t care for them because it’s a tighter fit. The good thing is when you sit down they don’t get tighter

IF you live in the South then you experience 8 months of humidity, having swamp arse when wearing jeans is inevitable.
I can't imagine the funk, dripping sweat and odors permeating a pair of jeans that never see a washing machine with a 30-minute presoak in hot water and Tide detergent.

Well this isn't true at all.
I'm not wearing raw denim to a wedding or a funeral, but denim can be styled to look just as nice at any event where you would wear chinos, for example.

This is dumb as shite. A nice pair of jeans, loafers/nice boots, a button down, and sports coat is not the same as wearing a PFG shirt. It just isn't. You can wear that to very nice restaurants and look the part.
I can't wear a suit and tie to a black tie event, does that mean a suit and tie isn't nice? There are levels here and a nice pair of jeans is not the same as a PFG shirt.

Scruffy doesn’t wear blue jeans.
Chinos/Khakis only.

Are you retarded? I'm not referring to a level of formality when I talk about wearing nice clothes.

What is the difference between raw denim and normal denim?
?
There is only one difference between the two, and that is that washed denim is rinsed through water after it has been dyed, and raw or dry denim is not. Raw denim is sometimes known as dry denim because the washing process has been skipped, leaving them stiff with starch and dark with dye

That's not always the difference. They use selvedge denim and old school looms. It is usually thicker as well. They measure in ounces or something like that. I am far from an expert outside of buying them and doing some research before and after.
My raw denim jeans were so uncomfortable at first
but now the most comfortable pants I own outside of my Costco sweat pants. ETA:
"raw denim" is also a bit of a catch-all for higher quality materials sometimes as well, which is incorrect, but it is used that way (guilty of this).
