I'd lost some weight over the past several months and decided I needed new jeans. I searched high and low, tried on more pairs than I care to remember, and finally found a pair I liked. Okay, I loved them. They were snug, but not skin tight and they looked, well, fantastic on me! My legs looked long and, dare I say it, slim! It made me wonder whose legs I was looking at! Needless to say, I got them.
Over the next few weeks, as a few more jeans had met my standards and been purchased and worn, I discovered little known things, or little remembered things, about jeans that button and zip and don't have elastic waists.
When using the bathroom, you have to unfasten the button and zipper. You can't just pull them down. After years of elastic waist pants, that takes some getting used to.
I know now why people say they can't wait to get out of their jeans at the end of the day. Even when wearing jeans that are fairly comfortable, real jeans just don't have the same forgiving fit and give that jeans that basically fit like pajamas have.
Not that I'm complaining - much - I like my jeans and I like that I look pretty good in them, in my opinion, but they do take some getting used to!
