Don’t shop when you’re rushing or stressed. Give yourself plenty of time so you can browse properly and try things on without feeling pressured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 Wear clothes that are easy to change in and out of<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Avoid fiddly buttons, fiddly shoes or layers. The easier it is to get changed, the less flustered you’ll feel and the more pairs you’ll actually try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3 Pick a style and stick with it<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Decide on your style before you go. Whether that’s slim, straight, wide leg, or anything else, and focus on that. Trying everything at once just leads to confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4 Try that style across different brands, rises and washes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you know your style, explore it fully. The same cut can feel completely different depending on the brand, the rise, or the wash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5 Don’t be disheartened by the sizing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sizing varies wildly between brands, it’s just a guide. Take your usual size plus the one above and below into the changing room so you’re not going back and forth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6 Take photos in the fitting room to compare<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s easy to forget which pair was which once you’re back on the shop floor. A quick photo of each one means you can compare them side by side before deciding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One last thing…<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n …style them up before you decide. No pair of jeans looks its best in a changing room. The lighting is harsh, you’re probably in your socks, and nothing is styled. Before you dismiss a pair, tuck your top in, pop on a belt, put your shoes on…<\/p>\n\n\n\n You might be surprised at what you nearly put back on the rail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jeans should be simple…but it isn’t.
