How difficult is it for women to find a good fitting pair of jeans that fit well, and they like? Very. In a recent survey of 2,000 women, 46 percent said denim is the most difficult item to buy. That's because there are so many options. And those options don't fit everyone the same way. What may be too baggy for one person is ill-fitting for another. Or the waist is too high or too tight. Pant legs are too long or flare too much or are too straight. It doesn't help that there are so many different trends and silhouettes for jeans these days.

According to a survey by U.K.-based One Poll, a marketing research company, on average six pairs of jeans will be disregarded on every shopping trip.

Most women own s...

Ralph Lauren Corp. RL, -2.39% is on trend according to JPMorgan analysts, who upgraded the lifestyle company to overweight from neutral. JPMorgan maintained its $142 price target. Analysts cited the "elevated casual" style of the Polo brand, which is largely for men, and the return to events that will boost the high-end merchandise. JPMorgan also examined the company's exposure to China, Russia and Eastern Europe, and determined those regions account for under 10% of revenue. North America, which shows signs of "sustainable top-line growth," accounts for about half of revenue. Heading out of the pandemic, JPMorgan says Ralph Lauren has accomplished the strategic goals it set in September 2020, including a reduction of off-price sales and a refocus on core brands. Ralph Lauren stock was up 3.3% in Thursday premarket trading, and is down 5.8% for the past year. The S&P 500 index SPX, -0.04% is up 9.7%...
