This might seem counterintuitive since "jeans" in English is often used as a plural noun, but in French, "jeans" is considered a singular masculine noun.
Here's why:
* "Jean" is masculine: The word "jean" in French refers to the fabric denim, which is masculine.
* Plural agreement: The plural form "des jeans" agrees with the masculine singular form "jean".
Therefore, even though "jeans" is typically used in plural form in English, the French equivalent "des jeans" is considered masculine.
