Kaunsi Jeans Lu?

A friend told me that writing about my struggles will reach out to more people and get them to read this post so here goes.

Every 2 years, I pick myself up, drag myself to a store to make a decision after a gruesome trial - what jeans do I pick? I ain't choosy. I just want something that feels comfortable. That's a fair demand, comfort is what I look for in clothing.

Mere jeans ke pairs

Ever since I've moved to the adult section of clothing, I have a stare down with the jeans rack in front of me.

Skinny fit
Pencil fit.
Low waist skinny/slim fit.
High waist skinny/slim fit.
Slim fit.
Jeggings.
Ripped.
Wash.

Okay, where are NORMAL jeans? It's not too hard making them. What generally took me 10 minutes top to decide now was a task. I have absolutely no idea if I'm skinny or slim or a pencil, wtf?! Also, who decides what's skinny and slim? There are absolutely no universal standards, each brand decides for themselves so I HAVE to try on every pair.

Begrudgingly I picked and tried on a pair from each type. Of course it took ages. (I have a rule of thumb that any jeans in which I can do leg raises in are my baes. If you catch a chick at a store trying out kick boxing in jeans it's either me or my closest friends.) Although I call myself slim, pencil jeans are a terror. I have absolutely no idea what kind of legs, sticks fit through them. I gave up when I realised I could not pull them above my knee.
Slim fit ones are okay-ish. High waist ones were another horror, I could hear my crotch practically scream for breath. I had never imagined buying a pair of jeans would be an arduous process.

Low waist ones work okay if you have a good girth-y waist. I need a belt. Being short sucks. You have jeans that are extremely tight but the right length, or a right fit at the waist but crumple near your ankles. So call the tailor, have them altered and get your purchase a couple of days later. I miss the times when I could simply walk out of the store, happily with my unaltered purchase. 

I finally found the desired looseness in ripped jeans. For a moment, I felt blissful till the frays began tickling my knees and I decided that that was that. (That's a lot of thats, sorry for that)

Finally, I tried on jeggings that work absolutely great if you have that in between body shape. They're snug and often fit well. <Insert blushing smiley>

While I still cannot make a definitive choice, I know what kind of jeans I MUST NOT pick. That's good for now, I'll learn soon.

This too shall pass.
