| Even if you get your pants from the toilet store, if you like them, it's reason to celebrate. |
Finding that perfect pair of jeans or sweatpants or slacks is essential to happiness these days. People, especially females, spend hours finding the right pair of pants.
If it makes their butt look 2 centimeters too big, it's on to the next one. If the wash of the jean isn't their style, it's on to the next one. If they fit perfectly but are a little too long or short, it's on to the next one.

Getting up in the morning and putting on your favorite pair of jeans is like waking up to "Fergalicious" on the radio or the smell of cinnamon rolls wafting into your room: the sensation can't be beat. You feel so empowered and ready to conquer the day when you wear your favorite pair of jeans.
On the dreaded days where your favorite pair are dirty and you have to settle for that crappy pair your mom bought you, it's like waking up to "The Thong Song" on the radio or the smell of cooked broccoli wafting into your room: you wan't to kill yourself but know the repercussions would be overwhelming.

Wearing a crappy pair of jeans makes you feel, well, crappy. You incessantly fuss over how short they are, how loose they are, how tight they are, how fat they make you look. It's just an all around terrible day.
The funny thing is, when you get a new favorite pair of pants, the old pair seems...somehow less than perfect. Even though you loved those things for a year, a new pair has come along and taken its place. It's like an over-sexed, middle-aged rich man and his "girlfriends:" when a newer, younger one comes along, out with the old and in with the new.
Of course there is one exception to the rule. Even if you have your favorite pair or jeans or slacks or what have you, there is always one pair of pants that will always rein supreme...

OMG. James, this is hands down your best post yet. You hit on so many things that are actually quite true (the process that girls go through to find a good pair of pants), the alliteration in the title is great, the photo captions solid, and the analogies you use when talking about pants are funny and relate-able. Nice post!
ReplyDelete"If they fit well enough, you don't even have to wear a shirt." Definitely laughed out loud to that one.
ReplyDeleteI definitely have my favorite jeans and the jeans I'd rather burn but sometimes have to wear when the favs are dirty.
My question is, do guys actually feel the same way about their favorite pants as girls do? Can your day actually be dramatically improved by a good pair of jeans?
Quality post!
It's so funny how tough it is to find a good pair of jeans and how a good pair makes you feel like a million bucks. I recently almost cried when my absolute favorite pair got a hole in them. I'm still looking for a replacement!
ReplyDeleteA good pair of pants can definitely make even a guy's day better. It's true.
