    Another tip from one jean-buyer to another... a trick I learned a long time ago to check if a pair of jeans will 100%, without a shadow of a doubt fit you, is other than wrapping them around your neck, wrap one end of the waistband from the center of your navel, around to the middle of your back.
    If it aligns to the center of your back, they will fit. If not, they are too small.

    A little late to the comment party, but thank you for posting this!! Our bodies come in so many shapes and sizes, we often take the blame for something not fitting correctly and reinforcing the message something is wrong with how we're shaped. Thank you for the tips and for not forcing any kind of fashion trend, but instead reminding everyone there's nothing wrong with us, it's the choices we're presented with. Keep up the positivity!

    Make sure the color matches your complexion - soft instead of clear
    1. Find your body shape - buy middle and high-waisted jeans
    2. Darker colors look smaller and lighter looks bigger
    3. Anything that cuts you in half will always make you look shorter. It doesn't elongate you and make you look cohesive
    4. The crotch mistake - the end of the zipper and the crotch CANNOT have a space in between. They make you belly look fat and draw attention to a camel tow.
    5. Pockets need to be close together and there should be a space between the butt crease and the end of the pocket
    6. Hang your jeans to dry! Otherwise, they will become super soggy.
    7. Put the jeans around your neck and button them. That will tell you the jean size

  • @zoeywilliams4848
    @zoeywilliams4848 Před 2 lety +277

    I think Levi’s have got their crap figured out, they have all the good properties listed, the pockets are perfectly set, they got the nice vintage feel most of the time and they’ve got they’re sizing figured out (ie waist size 25x28 instead of a size 4R, which doesn’t show measurements and is very vague and differs between brands, whereas with Levi’s they just do the circumference in inches of the waist and the length of the pants in inches). They have the five pocket figured out, the zipper/buttons figured out, and for the most part it’s the best for every body type. Above all, they’re consistent. With AE, I notice that they have different sized pockets and spacing in the back and I can never find the right ones for my body type. AE does sometimes have close to perfect jeans, but it’s much rarer and I can always count on Levi’s.

    This WAS life-changing! As an apple-shaped, tall, slim child - looking for jeans has been a big headache ever since I can remember. (Being apple-shaped in 2012 was very different than now. The plus-sized section was very limited and I have memories of my poor mother and I spending hours searching through the stiff materials, either not satisfied with the baggy butt or the buttons that didn't close.)
    Today, I gathered my energy and bought 4 different jeans at thrift stores that cost me a total of $50. I didn't try them on, but I made sure they wrapped around my neck and reached the floor when I held them against my legs.
    They were a variety of rises, so when I got home I took a fabric measuring tape and categorized them by rise measurement.
    End result:
    I'm 5'8', and I need a 12 in rise to not create any muffin-tops. I had been wearing jeans with 9-11 inch rise (!!!!)
    That's why my jeans so often needed to be pulled up.
    It's wild how much 1 in difference in rise can make both the buttocks and stomach area feel/look more comfortable!
    My low-rise jeans (the ones with 10-in rise) I'll be keeping for use with loose blouses and when bloating is better.
    So thank you thank you thank you!

Im 53yrs young, hahaha, and my body shape has definitely been thru some changes over the years. Im used to being a smaller size than I am rn, so i gave up buying jeans that would fit or flatter my shape in any way. But i believe i just may be able to find a pair that could do just that for me. I am impressed that someone else feels this way about jeans. Not all brands are flattering on my body shape. My butt and belly are a little bit bigger than im used to so i gave up on even trying to find some that fit me. Lol. Thanks for such valuable information. 💜

    THANK YOU!
    The details you include in your explanation are the best I've ever heard. Many times I've heard about how pocket placement on the back of your jeans makes the difference between flattering, flattening, or enlarging your rear BUT you're the first person I've heard go into enough detailed explanation of how the placement should be!
    I also appreciate how you mentioned the front zipper. I've always known some pants looked awful from the front but couldn't ever figure what it was that made most pants look so bad.
    I'm a body type 7, I think. Used to be the perfect hourglass shape, & thin, at 5'6" 136lbs. Even then I STILL COULD NEVER FIND CLOTHES THAT FIT RIGHT! Clothes shopping, especially for bras, has been the bane of my existence.

      It's more the cut of the jeans than the waist. Low rise jeans the hit below the hip bone will look bad on anyone. As for comfort, I don't know how anyone can stand them. I'm long waisted and not that curvy in the hips, something she did not consider. I like jeans that hit just below the waist. Also, most jeans cut in way too much at the waist for me. If you are like me, find jeans that hit just an inch or so below the waist and not so curve. If you can't find women's jeans that fit, try men's jeans. They come in more sizes and cuts and naturally have lower waists because a man's waist is usually lower.

    Wow. This was incredible. I've always had trouble shopping for the perfect clothes and I've spent most of my life cursing my purchases. That includes jeans and shirts. I love loose outfits, especially shirts and t-shirts, but they always look horrible on me and I always used to wonder why. Only rarely I've come across a comfortable pair of jeans that flatters my figure and fits amazingly well. Only now I'm realizing that body type plays such a significant role with regards to finding that perfect fit for any outfit. High rise jeans, leggings feel so snug and look great on me too, so do form fitting tops. I'm an hourglass btw.

I got a pair of jeans that I think I look not half bad in and the first pair that I've ever felt comfortable in, at least not since I had an 18 year old body (from before I had my son) which was shall we say...a "little" while ago (about 20 yrs ago). And that is thanks to 1 of your videos about finding jeans.

    I learned all of these things just a few years ago.. which is sad because I didn't until my 30s. All of my best body years I never knew how to dress for my shape. Now I'm dressing my best and not letting myself not dress my best! So happy you are sharing these "secrets" with the world!
    My biggest problem that I never knew was that all my jeans butt pockets were way too big and way to low on my butt. As a short girl (5'1) who is also very curvy, it's been extremely difficult to find jeans with high enough butt pockets.
    I imagine the jeans that look best on me probably look ridiculous if you just held them up to look at in front of you. But since I'm such a short girl who is curvy and also not overweight I had to accept my "unique" figure before I was confident enough to say I know what looks best and I'm not gonna compromise, I'll only choose what looks best on me even if it isn't what is most popular. I'll take those funky looking jeans off your hands thank you! Lol
    Last fun fact about myself: my sister is 5'2 and her legs are shorter than mine. Meaning I have long legs and a short torso. So high wasted is the only kind that gives me the best butt but also not always the best waist. Talk about difficult! Lol Anywho, I don't give up when searching and fortunately I've been able to find jeans after a ton of searching that I almost love 😛

    • @drkatel
      @drkatel Před rokem

      Older post, I know, but I’m inclined to agree. I’m fairly petite at 5’3" but my legs are very long and my torso is very short. This means that high-waisted jeans sit wayyy above my waist and look & feel ridiculous. Mid-rise are my high-waisted and low-rise are mid-rise (if you can follow me). I'm learning to sew so I can alter things to fit me.

Just because I'm overweight doesn't mean that the body "ideals" society tries to impose are not harmful and ridiculous. Bottom line: if you tell me I'm overweight because of health reasons, and I know that you're not superficial, we're good. I'll even egg you on. If you come at it in terms of "not good enough because of societal beauty standards", that's just being a nasty bully and you better believe I'll bite your head off, and you will have fully deserved it.

    Thanks. When I was younger and my parents took me shopping for pants, they would do that waist checking thing with my neck. I would be so embarrassed. Now that I'm older, my husband and I do the same thing now. 😅 Oh, how wise our parents are!

    Ok this video literally changed my mom’s life, like I convinced her to watch it and it inspired her to buy some more jeans, which lead her to totally updating her wardrobe and style (which she hadn’t updated in 20 years) and now she looks and feels amazing! Love your vids 💕💕

      I will be that mom that updated if I can find the right jeans. It's been awhile since I even cared to search.
      Although I should wear high waisted I still adore the hip huggers of old. They are so much more comfortable. High waisted are uncomfortable.

    OMGG ty so much for this video and the content in this video!! ***** stars, more if it was possible lolol, I can’t believe that this is the only video I’ve ever seen before about jeans and how important it is to know, #1- that people actually can know how to get the right fit, #2- that different styles of jeans actually DO affect how they look on your different anatomy type, #3- that no one has ever thought of it yet and put it out there for all the beautiful women in the world lol lol!!??
