Pete Hegseth has not joined the "Great Jeans" trend post-Sydney Sweeney American eagle scandal. However, it's the Department of Defense which shared an image of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's image, where he can be seen wearing a blue blazer coupled with jeans. The caption tagged the Defense Secretary's X account and said:

President Trump said he liked American Eagle's ad with Sydney Sweeney, reportedly a Republican. He knocked Taylor Swift, who endorsed Kamala Harris

On July 23, American Eagle launched its new fall campaign with Sweeney as the face, titled “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.” In addition to the images, which were styled by Sweeney’s regular stylist Molly Dickson, the campaign features an ad in which Sweeney defines the scientific word “genes” while pulling on her American Eagle jeans.
