How to Buy The Perfect Pair of Jeans

“Dang my butt does look good!”

You too may have wanted to experience that moment with a special pair of pants, but been stopped by impatience and bad quality.  Well no longer!  With a few simple tips, picking a pair of jeans can be as easy as say, picking your nose.  The same basic principles can be clearly applied to any type, whether wide leg, boot cut, skinny, shorts, capris, or bermudas.  Just following a few cardinal rules such as precision, care, comfort, and style, will definitely ensure a great looking butt in no time!

The first objective to obtain to reach is of course arrive at the mall or your favorite store.  Make sure to go directly to the jeans rack; any other items may distract you from the task at hand.  When in the jeans section, scope out your size.  Here is where you need to be realistic: if you know you cannot squeeze into a size two, do not waste you time with that as an option.  Choose the sizes closest to the ones you wear right now to be the most accurate.  Since all jean companies are not the same, it is good to have variety now, in case it is needed later in the dressing room.  That applies to people who are unsure of their exact size, to help remember this vital tip, follow this simple rhyme: one size too big, one size too small, to find my fit, I’ll try them all!  As long as options are available, smarter choices will undoubtedly follow.

Additionally, when collecting pieces that catch the eye, allow the eye to notice the price tags.  If a $20 pair looks exactly the same as a $70 pair, which choice will make more sense?  If you choose the cheaper, kudos, if not, I seriously hope you have enough money to be wasting unnecessarily on jeans in these hard economic times.  But back to prices, go for the best range for your budget.  If and only if you have extra moolah and you really want more or a certain brand of jeans, go for it.  Just be sure it is an investment piece that you intend to wear for as long as possible.

Next on the agenda are special sales.  A popular one has become known as B.O.G.O (Buy one get one) free/half off.  This may seem like the opportune moment for shopping, but beware of the trap most retailers set for innocent customers.  A sale sign does not always guarantee  a cut back on prices it simply means retailers wish to sell more of a certain product and know generally people purchase more if they think it’s on sale.  Do not fall into this trend.  Pick the right price.  If it happens to be on sale and you end up saving money, then it is a blessing and should be very appreciated.

Moreover, if you have picked through countless clearance racks like myself, you probably know a few tricks of the trade.  A few major letdowns for an awesome pair of jeans are: unintended rips and tears, missing buttons, and stains.  Checking for these problems is a must when looking at discounted prices.  Loose threads may also contribute to poor quality, in which case put them down and try to discover better-made jeans.  You may even be able to in the cheap end of the jean pool, or at least somewhere in that area.  The clearance rack is a great choice for those who want to save, save, save, but the overall make of the jeans must be put into consideration.

Finally, after rummaging through the mass selection before you, aim your courses to the dressing rooms.  Set items down and hang jeans on provided hooks as you prepare for the best part of the journey.  When trying jeans on, don’t rush!  You may zip too swiftly and fall or otherwise hurt yourself.  Select the ideal size first, if too snug or too loose, grab the bigger or smaller pair to accommodate.  Use the tall mirror to your advantage, which is to say look at your lower half closely.  Are you spilling out?  Does the zipper protrude and make your gender questionable?  After all are reviewed, narrow down the choices to ones that you can A) wear and still breath in, B) afford without sucking up your entire bank account and/or savings C) genuinely enjoy.  When all is decided, collect the bunch you wish to keep under your arm and return the rejects to the row of refusal.

Lastly, make your way back to the jean’s section and be certain that every marvelous pair has been checked out.  (If more are found, repeat earlier steps until caught up.)  Determine if every fragment of denim in your hands is worth buying.  When your mind is set and you are done shopping, walk proudly to the cashier counter.  Smile at the employee for you have just purchased the perfect pair of jeans!  Plus a few elite pair too.  Exit (with receipt in case your mother screams your head off and forces you to return them.)  Head home, make plans, and put on your jeans jubilantly.
