I Hate Clothes Shopping

[Juniper]

This thread is probably gonna be mostly for the lady dwellars, but men, I guess you're welcome too.

I know I'm weird, women are supposed to like shopping for clothes, but I purely loathe it. (Shoes, OTOH... ) Part of my disdain for this activity is the fact that it costs money and I'm chronically frugal. Part of it is...well, let's just say I'm not exactly runway model material.

One thing that ticks me off is this low-rise jeans thing. It was already damn near impossible for me to find a pair of jeans that fit before. I am picky. The low rise jeans always feel like they're falling off. The waist is too big. If my shirt is too short, when I sit down they show my underwear. And my belly is definitely not compatible with the low rise look, should my shirt ride up in front. Bleh. But if I find anything with a higher rise, it's always relaxed cut. I like jeans that fit - jeans are supposed to hug your butt, not hang off it like a loaded diaper.

Which reminds me, could someone explain why people think it's attractive for your pants' crotch to hang down to your knees? I really don't get it.

You got any clothes gripes?

And can you tell me where to find some normal jeans? The kind with a waist that actually sits on your waist?
