Why is finding the perfect pair of jeans so hard?

Tips from a denim expert and our favorite pairs

Inspired by true events…. A few weeks ago I went jean shopping. I grabbed TEN pairs of jeans, tried them all on… and walked out with you guessed it…none. Zero pairs. And I know I’m not alone here because every single time I bring jeans up on the pod, my DMs immediately flood.

So I did the only logical thing and called in my favorite denim expert, aka Lindsay Davidson Paley, founder of Lenny

If you haven’t been to Lenny, it’s a vintage denim store in Studio City and it is genuinely some of the best denim shopping I’ve ever experienced. Lindsay is the person behind it, and she’s not just selling jeans — she’s fitting them to perfection. Cinching them. Telling you when a pair is wrong for your body and walking you toward the pair that will change your closet. I went in about a year ago and left with a pair that truly fit me better than any other jeans.

So in this episode we break down why nothing in the dressing room ever fits, what to actually look for in a pair (and what to say to your tailor), and the denim silhouettes worth investing in right now.
