We love clothes -- coveting them, shopping for them, styling them, devoting our lives to them.
But sometimes, clothes are the worst. Thus we hereby present our list of garment grievances, ranked by awfulness -- and if anyone out there can invent an easy solution to any of these problems, we will basically give you all our money.
#17: When the fabric of your jeans rubs thin between your thighsIt's like our pants are taunting us.
#16: Static-y scarvesAlso: Static-y hair.
#15: When your jeans fade only in the kneesWhat are you supposed to do, not bend your legs?
#14: Itchy tagsWhy aren't all tags made of, like, cashmere?
#13: When crumbs get lodged in the corners of your pocketsIt's like we're being punished for being messy eaters.
