Shopping for jeans is one of the most frustrating things you can do. If you don’t agree, you’re either lying or we’re totally missing something.
From our own experiences, finding a pair of jeans that fits the way we want them to is a near-impossible task. Don’t even get us started on the effort of trying on jeans, especially the skinny kind. You pretty much need to be a contortionist, which is not fun when you’re in a fitting room. Then there’s the issue of sizing, which varies wildly from brand to brand, making things much more difficult than they need to be. You can really work up a sweat trying to find the perfect pair.
As these folks on Twitter would all agree, the struggle is real when it comes to shopping for jeans:

If you’re looking for an emotional roller coaster don’t get a boyfriend just go jean shopping: one minute you’re buying a size 10 & the next your fitting into a 6 in a different brand. Lol being a girls hard. I quit.

Want to know what it’s like for me to go shopping for jeans? I just tried on 11 pairs, all different sizes and brands. Not a single one fit. I even got the line “You should try Kohl’s” pic.twitter.com/i5iU52Fdz1

I'm not saying I'm an ATHLETE, but I did just suffer a sports injury to my knee.

(Is trying on 20 pairs of skinny jeans a sport?)

I'm having a Ross'-leather-pants situation in a Topman fitting room with a pair of super spray on jeans. SEND HELP. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

love shopping for jeans. love 2 look at a bunch of bodies that are very much smaller than mine so that I may imagine how I will never look in those jeans. love how simply looking for trousers always ends up with self-hate. love it. it is the best. yes.

TIL if you are already not feeling super great about yourself, you should probably not go shopping for jeans. So much fail. 🐫

If heaven is a place on earth, hell is trying on a pair of jeans in a just-too-small fitting room.

"Yup, these jeans fit perfectly."
Seriously considering founding a new workout programme that consists entirely of trying on jeans that are 2cms too tight, in a fitting room that is 2 degrees too warm.
