Buying Jeans

According to me, Jeans are the most comfortable things on earth.. There are so many things that make them so lovable:

1. They don't need to be washed often. (Rather we choose not to wash them.. and its not such a bad thing)
2. It looks better when its torn.. so we don't need to yell at that stray nail on which the new jeans got caught and tore.
3. Anything looks good on it..
4. Color is really not an issue because it becomes a muddy brown eventually anyway due to the non-washing and constant dirtying
5. Brand is not an issue if you choose to not tuck your t shirt/shirt, no one can see the tag.. you can just as well say its Dolce & Gabbana, people will buy it :-)
6. Most convenient while travelling. Even if its a 5 day trip, 2 pairs of jeans and 6 t shirts will make do. The bag wont be brimming with clothes.
7. If it rains and u fold your jeans, it doesn't look like you've borrowed a rickshaw man's pants, its fashionable! Additionally, you can fold your jeans anyway - it still qualifies as a fashion statement
8. Always always always! keep your old jeans. Do NOT discard! Why? - If boot cut is in for 5 months, skinny jeans are in for the next 5, straight cut for the next 5, low rise for the next 5 and high waist for the next 5 and so on... Whether history repeats itself or not, jeans fashion does. Better to save those jeans to avoid unnecessary expenses when they are back in 'vogue'.

Despite all the niceties associated with jeans, there is always a problem when it comes to purchasing them. Common problems I face -

"Its too tight around the waist.. I want the next size" - Next size will 99% not be available. sigh

"Length is not enough, it looks like I am wearing my 5'5'' inch cousin's jeans.. do u have length options" - Again not available. sigh

"A different color?" - Not available. sigh

"Very loose at the thighs" - Tighter ones are not available. sigh

"Low waist?" - no? sigh

"Skinny jeans?" - no? sigh

"Its perfect! I'll take it!! " - Rs.2100?? no..sigh

Maybe I'll wait till the next sale comes up.

Common problems in buying the most comfortable things on earth. But at the end of it, they are SO worth it! :-)
