Those Glorious Jeans

How many women have actually experienced the sheer delight of feeling the perfect fit of denim on their backsides? I'm not speaking about near-prefect. Not those jeans that, with the right belt, hug your every curve in a flattering way. Not those ones whose pockets lie so closely to your your body that you can't even slip a finger into one. Or the pair that forms weird bumps under your tee even though it looks just fine if you're going topless (ahem, not a public option).

I mean the jeans that graze your thighs. The ones that make you smile. The ones you can easily wear with almost all your favorite shirts. The ones that still look fantastic five years after you bought them---maybe even ten if you've been particularly careful about your weight. The ones your mother and daughter both nod to in approval. The ones you could get away with walking down the red carpet or sporting to the PTA picnic. The ones that make you feel positively feminine but not like a frou-frou cupcake doll (anything containing satin pink bows falls into the latter category). Every woman should own a pair of jeans that stylish, that versatile, and that comfortable.

So c'mon denim designers---what the hell are you waiting for?
