This article aimed to identify and analyze studies on the perception of comfort/discomfort during the use of blue jeans by middle-aged women, based on a systematic literature review (SLR). The search for evidence was performed in the Scopus, Web of Science and Periódicos Capes databases. An adapted SLR instrument was used. Ten articles that met the inclusion and quality criteria were selected. It was found that there are gaps in research related to middle-aged women, the relationship of this public and the use of blue jeans and their perception of comfort/discomfort, partially answering the research question. Limitations were identified and more research was suggested that address the theme, contributing to researches and development of jeanswear products, and improving the quality of life of female users.
