I'm a fan of Aubrey Hirsch. I don't quite know how to describe her and her work (illustrator? cartoonist? explanatory cartoonist?). But she does
One of her recent image-explainers is called Size Matters: On the challenge of finding the right fit.
It looks at why women's clothes are sized so oddly, with a little bit of the history of how off-the-rack clothing started.
This panel contained a fact I never knew:
I have certain brands of jeans I know fit me better, so that's my way of dealing this problem. Yes, I still wear jeans instead of yoga pants or sweat pants or whatever clingy legging-type things younger people wear.
I never would have imagined there would be a divide between generations along those lines, where old people would be the ones wearing jeans. I can't give up pockets in my pants, though.

I am a fellow Old Person Jeans Wearer. And I like a certain model of Lee jeans that fit correctly. I only recently realized that this makes me a weirdo, but I just cannot wear leggings. I wore leggings in college sometimes. But jeans are what I *like.*
