You want the perfect jeans, but you are shopping on your lunch hour and you don’t have a lot of time. You can do this quickly.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Know your size! Are you a 12 in misses or a 13 in juniors? You must know that. I would suggest always going to the misses or women’s department if you are over 24, so you are never in danger of showing off plumber crack or having your jeans too low on you.
Step 2

What type are you looking for? Skinny jeans with a flare leg. What type of wash? Light, dark, black? Always shop with a mission!
Step 3

Once you find your size and cut, do something crazy, I want you to take the waist of the jeans and wrap it around your neck. Stay with me here. If they fit around your neck with no problem without overlapping, you got the perfect size. If they are not even close, you got the wrong size.
Step 4

Now that you have your jeans, put them on top of your body where you usually wear your jeans. Do they hang where you want them?
Step 5

If everything works out, you found your perfect jeans without trying them on. Get to the check-out and go!

Tips & Warnings

Always look at the care tag, making sure you find a jean with a percentage of spandex in it. They will fit you better and have a little give if you go a little crazy on the potato chips.
Wash your jeans in cold water when you first get them so they won’t shrink.
