Have you tried to buy a pair of jeans lately?

It's mind-boggling. You can get straight-leg, boot-leg, wide-legged, cropped or this reverse fit, which I still don't understand. Then you have to decide on the rise -- low rise, ultra-low rise, or the classic rise. And if that's not confusing enough, you then get to pick your denim color -- dark, sand-washed, black, etc.

Ugh! I just need a pair of jeans that don't make my butt look big!

But it's not that simple. You have no choice but to try them all on to see what fits best.
