Jeans shopping is like house buying

It's unusual to enjoy shopping for jeans. Unless you have a go-to staple style and never change size, or you have a model-esque body and excessive amounts of money, jeans shopping is an exercise in patience and persistence.

Ultimately though, when you've tried on the eleventh pair in the fourth shop for the third time, the questions of size, cut, colour, zip vs button fly, pockets or not, boil down to one questions:

"Do they fit me?" 

This could be phrased as: Are we a good match? Do I feel comfortable? Will I enjoy wearing these jeans?"

Buying a house might be exciting, but for most people it's a long series of difficult decisions. Especially if you're doing it for the first time.

And at the end of the day, the real question is the same as for jeans shopping: "Do this house fit me?"

Is it a good match? Do I feel comfortable here? Will I enjoy spending time in this house?"
