Every once in a while at school, our Principal (who is AWESOME!!) allows us to wear jeans. It’s a treat!
You would think Taylor Swift was coming to town.
It’s like a holiday!
People really get excited.
And so do I!
Frankly, I’d wear jeans every day, and I think most guys would, but some of them, well, they just need some help with this.
Most guys think they look like this in jeans…
…but, we don’t!
Usually, it’s more like this.
…and it’s just not pretty!
So guys, there are some rules.
THE TWELVE COMMANDMENTS OF JEANS
(It’s in the Bible, keep looking.)
You must follow, you must obey, you must comply.
1. Thou shalt not buy crap.
2. Thou shalt buy for comfort, but thou shalt not forget style.
3. Thou shalt buy for your age. Find a style that fits you and stick with it.
4. Thou shalt not buy crap.
5. Thou shalt let your wife/spouse/significant other/partner/girlfriend/both/all of the above, etc. shop for your jeans with you. LISTEN TO HER! She will tell you the truth as she has to be seen with you in public. And really, she does not want to be ashamed of her ‘manchoice’.
6. Thou shalt make sure they fit…EVERYWHERE!
7. Thou shalt wash them before you wear them, and thou shalt let them hang dry the first time.
8. Thou shalt not buy crap.
9. Thou shalt wear them several times before washing them again. (Really, this is important, you can wear them until they stand up and walk away by themselves before you wash them, they adapt to your body better and hold your shape…which is what it’s all about.)
10. Thou shalt take them to the cleaners rather than wash them…they will always fit the same if you do.
11. Thou shalt hem them if they need it.
oh yes, most importantly,
12. Thou shalt not buy crap.
You, and your family, want to be proud of what’s behind you!
