I’ve been knee-deep in Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales for the past week, so you can trust me when I tell you that I know what the good sales are. One of the best ones that I’ve encountered over the past week is J.Crew’s. The deals are shockingly good, and things are selling out left and right accordingly. Some of the most popular items are still in stock, and I’m bringing them to you in one place while there’s still time. Speaking of, J.Crew’s sale is lasting longer than most. Everything in J.Crew’s Cyber Monday Event sale is 50% off through the end of the day on November 28. Rejoice.
Und davon gibt es viele. Laut einer neuen Umfrage der Dating-App Bumble bin bzw. war ich nämlich nicht die Einzige, die an der Existenz der Cuffing Season zweifelte: Die Hälfte der Befragten gab an, selbst nichts von der Cuffing Season zu halten und sie als veralteten Mythos abzustempeln. (57 Prozent wussten nicht mal, was der Begriff überhaupt bedeuten soll.) Vielleicht haben sie ihr eigenes Verhalten aber auch nur nie gründlicher beleuchtet: Eine Umfrage von 2022 der Sextoy-Marke Lovehoney ergab, dass 58 Prozent der Befragten während der Wintermonate lieber in einer Beziehung ist, und eine Studie von Dating.com aus dem Jahr 2019 zeigte, dass 60 Prozent der Befragten, die sich im Herbst und Winter einsam fühlten, diese Einsamkeit mithilfe von Dating-Apps zu bekämpfen versuchten. Bloß, weil manche Leute behaupten, sie glaubten nicht an die Cuffing Season, bedeutet das nicht, dass es sie nicht gibt.
“I know it’s a thought, but be prepared to try on many pairs of jeans, in all different sizes—I always wear an outfit that’s easy to remove in the changing rooms,” says Harrington. “All denim brands’ size systems are different, so I prefer to ignore sizing and shop by eye or use a tape measure. The same goes for fit. A straight-leg style might not fit me quite right from one brand but fit perfect in another. It’s all about finding your forever jeans, and this can take time. Once I’ve found the perfect fit I often buy it in several washes.”
