Jeans VS. Genes

I don't know about you, but I'm guessing that if you're anything like me, finding a great pair of jeans is one of the most difficult missions of the fashion war. In fact, I fight this battle pretty much every time I work a shift at the Gap.

If you fight every season or only once a year, you know what I'm talking about. How damn hard it is to find "the perfect jean." With no two women's bodies alike, how can any brand pinpoint everything you need - perfect fit, perfect length, perfect wash?

Sometimes you need to face this fight alone - with 20 different styles in multiple sizes in the ill-lit fitting rooms - or at other times, you need backup. Like a good friend or trustworthy sales person who you know will tell you like it is.

We have 8 different fits of jeans at the Gap and about 3 or 4 colors of each, so the possibilities are out there. I've seen petite women and long, leggy ones alike look awesome in the same styles. You just have to be patient and find what's right for you. Are you a classic, dark washed trouser type, or a rockin', distressed skinny fit kind of girl? The point is, you've got to get out there and try with patience an open mind about your style and body type.

Who knows, maybe after a bout in the fitting rooms you find that you're not at all who you thought you'd be - and sometimes that's the best victory of all.
