it's good to see you grab photos from real people not alot of actual models..real people are real models to me .love you content!!

We used to call Flares “Bell-bottoms”! 😉

I appreciate that you have been adding more photos of plus sized women! Thank you so much! xo

I scoured the racks for flared denim all throughout the 2010s -- so glad that wide leg, flares, and straight leg jeans are back in style! I hope all jean styles stay available so that people can choose whatever silhouettes they like.

Perfectly done Alyssa! I appreciate how you aren’t telling anyone the rules of what they should wear but instead being neutral/ positive in how you describe each cut. ❤️🙏 I’m an average height busty woman (5ft 5 & 1/2 and I think reverse triangle body type) and I’m tired of people telling me to wear wide leg/ flared jeans. I hate wide leg/ flared jeans with a passion! When I wear them, I just feel 4 sizes larger than I am. I feel best in high waisted skinny or straight leg jeans because they elongate my legs while showing the delicate and slenderness in my bottom half. I make sure to pair them with the right cut top for my bust (usually v neck or scoop neck) to flatter my upper half. I so appreciate you allowing us busty ladies to emphasise our legs instead of bulking them up. If that makes my silhouette more dramatic, then call me a thespian 🎭 😆😁. #StopHatinOnSkinnyJeans

Even though I'm 5'5", I order my GAP bootcut jeans in petite; sometimes they're just too long. Petite fits me perfectly.

I love a high rise jean. I've already lived through a low rise jean stage back when my flat snatched stomach could rock that but now, I love all my foods and a high rise jean helps pull my stomach in. I feel confident and that's what matters most. 😁

Finding the perfect fit can be so frustrating! At 5'2" it took me awhile to determine that petite sizes didn't work for me as the rise was too short but a regular size in short length was the answer. I found the perfect barely bootcut jean (great for my body type) and bought multiples since styles are retired so quickly. Great video💚

Thanks Alyssa, this was SO helpful! I would love to see a similar video about skirts - different shapes and cuts and how to style them :)

Oh, lots of great ideas with lots of different styles and body shapes. I wear lots of different styles of jeans, but I realised that although I wear quite a few wide-legged trousers I don't actually have wide-legged jeans!

I really appreciate this video. My takeaway was, while I may have a preferred jean style/one style that compliments my body more, all styles are open to me per what I want to highlight, and the tops and shoes I use. I have at least 3 pairs of skinny jeans I regret buying b/c they were trending, but don't look as good as my bootcuts. Now I see it's b/c they needed a different approach than the bootcuts. Looking at them like a pair of tights was really inspiring! So many options to consider now! Also, I really liked the photo examples. I will be experimenting, for sure!

I love the easy definitions you provided of each style of jeans.

Loved this video, and I really appreciate your using such varied body types and ages in your examples - that's truly the best way to show off all the possibilities (particularly for those of us who tend to say "I can't wear that!"). So inspiring!

Very informative video! Great examples! I missed your, "It's Alyssa coming at ya" .

This was SO great. Your analysis helped me to know how I can wear my various denim pants. I am short, long waisted and an inverted triangle...so I really listened. There was so much in this video for everyone s d showed your knowledge ! Very interested I hearing more about personal styling...enjoy your week.

So interesting how you state that skinnies "fade into the background." I never thought of that but that is EXACTLY how I've worn them! I've been admiring some of the other shapes, especially the flares and wide legs right now and I've been "studying" to figure out how to wear them as it's clearly something different for me! Thanks for your ideas and analysis. I've always wanted to dress with European style, so to speak. You have a very pleasant manner in your presentations. Ciao!

I have all those types of jeans ( exept the wide leg ) and love them all😉.

Love that you included plus size models too!

thank you for including larger model examples.

Hands down, the BEST descriptions and break down of denim I’ve ever seen. 🙏♥️ And thank you for showing so many beautiful women in diverse sizes. I need to watch it again.

Excellent video Alyssa, such useful practical information. I usually wear a midrise as I'm very short waisted with a X hourglass figure. As they tend to fit me more like a high rise. One thing I have noticed that makes a huge difference to the look of jeans on me is the length of the zipper/fly of the jeans, the longer length (from waist band to the crotch almost) are way more flattering than a shorter zipper/fly finishing around 4 to 5cm from the crotch. I have found less expensive petite jeans have the shorter zippers/fly (hope this makes sense). 😄😆💜

I feel huge with wide leg, I do like a straight leg, so will try this look, I wear a skinny as I do have a slim long thigh & calf , I wear a lot of Ralph Lauren blazers , but thanks for the tips Alyssa xx🇬🇧

Alyssa, super duper helpful! I never stopped wearing straight leg jeans so I'm happy they are back in style - LOL. I love denim and I think having a variety of silhouettes (and colors) can really change up your style. Thanks so much and looking forward to what you have in store for personal styling!

This was so useful. I’d love it if you could make a similar one about pants/ trousers.

Such a helpful breakdown, thank you! I'd love to hear your take on pairing different cuts of jeans with different styles of shoes.

Very interesting! but I am still on the hunt for the perfect fitting one!!!

Fantastic video!!! Alyssa, you are one of a kind UNIQUE and AMAZING..... LOVE LOVE your clear explanation for styling jeans. I am very excited about your announcement to initiate some form of personal styling. This is a much needed service and gift you are giving to all women. Count me in as your admiring customer!!

I loved the pics you chose. Different body types look different in certain styles and it helped me decide which styles I should try first in the future

Great job, thank you! It seems like I mostly gravitate towards the skinny, straight & wide leg denim styles. 💟

I'm more confident in a dress or skirt..but i managed and to find the proper fit in mens straight leg jeans. I think they are mid rise. I love them with my trenchcoat

Great jeans analysis. I’m really looking forward to your personal styling series.

Girl, I loved this video! All sizes represented. All seasons covered. The information was so helpful. Thank you so much. ❤️

Great video! Very illuminating! As I am mostly home spending time on my bed during this last year, I have not reached for my jeans. When I go grocery shopping with my boyfriend I use that occasion to dress however I feel. A blush fringed sequined skirt,, band tee, beaten up suede flat boots and an oversized dad cardigan. Anything goes. Our favorite Trader Joe’s guy greets me with: “ you dressed up for me!” As things are opening up, I will reach for my arsenal of jeans with your tips in mind. Bisous chère Alyssa!

Thank you this was great. I now understand the world of denim

Great video Alyssa! Much needed and will inform my outfit combinations moving forward!👍🏽

I’ve been updating my skinnies by wearing them tucked into knee-high boots, it’s not for summer, though, where I live. I like most other cuts better, but I’m going to hang onto them, as I do most clothes and accessories.

Thank you! Great video! Thanks for being inclusive if curvy and plus size figures! Looking forward to more styling videos!

Good tips, I have all of these styles. I love jeans, they are the staple of my wardrobe. I don't understand the videos on going a week without wearing jeans. I have two dozen pairs in heavy and light fabric, light, medium and dark wash. I have all the styles, washes and weights to fit my mood and the weather.

Thanku Bella..the most honest & informative review ive ever seen..true professional..💝

I really enjoyed this video Alyssa! Jeans are so versatile. I do not have chicken legs so I had a hard time finding the perfect straight jean. Many brands sell straight jeans that are narrower at the bottom. I always buy jeans with only 2% elastane. This way, they keep their shape and last longer.

Thank you for showing different body shape! Nice job on this jean video! ♥️

This was so interesting! Do you think there are any styles that are better for petite women? I'd love to hear your advice. Thanks!

Dang it KZfaq ate my comment! Awesome video Alyssa! I miss wearing denim throughout the week, dang business casual! I love that there's a different style of jeans for everyone, I never used to wear denim because of the low rise. What can I say, I say no to crack! I have a tip though, if you're petite and you want the look of long legs and you have a shorter torso, pick a mid-rise. I'm petite and anything above a 9-in rise sits really high on me like at my bra and sometimes I rock that, but if you're looking for that long legged look but find that your high-rise looks a little strange? Go for a mid-rise.

I'm so Happy wide leg and high rise is back. Even when I was 100 pounds I thought they looked awfull. The only thing I would have liked you to add to this, is an overview of what can be done to fit heans. I know that you canctake them to a tailor - but depending on cut and rise, some are a better choice if they are to be fitted afterwards. Some heans simply end up looking strange if tailored too much on the back because the pockets no longer fit; or on the sides because the front pockets get a wrong angle etc. Even the best of tailors cant remove the darker shades that is typically hiding under the pockets at their seems and thus, certain fits just are'nt as good for certain types of tailoring. I learned that the hard way :/

Alyssa, you always make me so excited to try out new looks from my wardrobe so, particularly as a woman who is learning how to compliment her new post pregnancy body, thank you for all that you do ❤️

This was so helpful. I struggle mightily to find jeans that work for me. I'm 5'9, thin, very short-waisted, and busty. Most jeans labeled "ankle" length or "cropped" just look like they are WAY too short. Why is the assumption that our legs are all the same length? Similarly, the super-high-waisted trend just cuts into my ribs and does zero to slenderize my mid-section. The concept of balance is key!

Thank you for this helpful video; it gave me some great styling ideas. I notice I've been reaching for my wide-leg jeans mostly lately. Not only do they look great, they're really comfortable.

Thanks for the great overview! I'd love to hear your thoughts on styling balloon jeans or tapered jeans. Would they fit under the wide leg suggestions?

Hi from Australia! You have such a pleasant manner. Love your channel. Keep up the great work! 😍😍

Agree - wide leg for the win!

This was perfect thank you so much. I love them all right now.

Thanks for this amazing video! Denim is my kryptonite. As a petite with a straight body shape, I think skinny and long to the floor boot cut are best for me. Still looking for that perfect jean!

Thanks for addressing this topic. I appreciate your perspective and the options that you offer with the different styles. It helped me understand how to style different cuts of jeans.

I knit and this was great for giving me ideas for the best way to feature my hand knits.

Right on point with the explanations of each cut of jeans. What I really appreciated the most , was that the pictures you where showing are very inclusive. 😉👏🏼

Help with belts and jeans!

So refreshing, and helpful! Nice to "meet" someone who also adores a wide leg jean. I find that they are very lengthening and comfortable. Love your style and videos. It would be helpful - for some perspective on proportions - to know how tall you are. Thank you!

Beautiful video Alyssa! Can you make a video with different mode to use nek silk scarf please?

Im afraid of wide leg..lol..although I luv them on others..I feel I'm a little short being 5'6 165lbs ..ive tried them on but I THINK they make me look bigger ..thxs for doing this video its helpful

Thank you ! Best video on denim ever! I am 5 feet and like trying each o the styles you mentioned and love your tips/suggestions.

So informative. Thank you! 💙💙

I’m short and love wide leg trousers with a little bit of edge , like black sequins ( not shiny) waist. However , I have to wear them with booties.

I love cropped kick flares and straight denim but have difficulty finding good ones in South Africa at a great price point.

This was so informative! I have a variety of denim jeans and each has its own purpose for the look I am achieving. I own THREE Ganni high waist wide leg jeans. They were expensive, but when I found them on sale deeply discounted in my size....I purchased cream, black and a blue denim. Then, there are the super, super wide denim jeans that look like a skirt! I really got lucky on that one.....which brings me to the denim skirt...oh ya!

I think fashion has finally gotten to a place where any and all denim shapes are in! No more out!

Lovely! So lovely! And so sensitive to all of our differences. Oh jeans! Why can't you be easier to wear? 😎 And please DO sign up for Alyssa's newsletter! It's a joy to receive - very artistic, elegant, lots of helpful information, and she is an amazing writer too! Thank you Bella! Can you feel the spring in the air? I'm soaking in all the vitamin D I can! Big hugs! And Happy International Women's Day! 🥰😘

Fantastic tips, Thank you.

So beautifully done. Thank you for all the work you've put into making this video 💙

How did I miss this video! I knew it was going to be great with all the prep, analysis, and thought Alyssa puts into her videos... Did not disappoint! It would be great to see a video somewhere of the people you follow/look to for style inspiration. I know you got at this a little with the style icons video, but a wider list would be great too! You always have such inspiring example photos, and I want to go check these people out! :)

Excellent analysis of jean styles. I personally prefer wide leg, slim wide, or straight because I have thin legs. With wide leg jean's I can add some elegance to the outfit. I'm tired of skinny jeans and just don't like the flared leg look. In another note, Alyssa looks way prettier with shorter hair and also keeping it a bit away from her face. She has a thin face so she does better keeping her hair at her new length. She also looks really good when she has her hair up.

So good Alyssa!! Great video. I have not heard this kind of in depth commentary on styling different denim styles before. Thank you :)

Great vid thanks. Thanks for including real people of all body types👏👏❣️

I am not a denim person...occasionally a skirt but this was great information.

I always say high rise = on your actual waist. I’m also wary of cropped as my legs are really short.

Thank you for such great content and the diverse body types presented. You inspire me every week to see my closet in a different way. Have a wonderful week! Stay safe!

This was very good! Now may we see you how you would style each kind of denim jeans? Do you own a wide-leg jean? I don't remember seeing you wear that, and I think I've watched every video you've ever made. :)

I used to be all about skinny jeans 2 or 3 years ago, but I have since moved on from that phase. I think that while I'm not against it, skinny jeans just remind me of leggings which is something I typically don't wear on an every day basis. I love the fit of the boyfriend and straight leg style jeans since my hips and waist can fluctuate in size sometimes. So if there's one piece of advice I would give, it would be to understand your body type and hip to waist measurements. Not all styles of denim look good on all body types

Excellent video--thanks!

Loved this video so much i watched it a couple of times!!! It really makes me want to try all these styles now!!!

I love wide-leg denim!

Great video! 😊😊

I really love your videos! I'm glad I found your channel! however, I'm Italian :)

Oh, and I want to be one of your first clients when you start doing personal styling again!!!

Hello. Do you have a video on how to style combat/moto boots with jeans (that is NOT skinny), with pants and dresses? I swear I can’t find any help out there without seeing skinny jeans paired with them. Also styling combat/moto boots for all seasons. Thank you and I love your channel and your style!

This was fantastic! Thanks! I wear skinny, straight, and boot cut. Flares on my 5'4" frame just don't work for me and my shape. Would love to see each type of jean clearly categorized in the various styles (minimalist, romantic, classic, etc). That's a lot of work though but I love when you do this!

Flairs are the old bell bottoms😍

Such a helpful video--loved each pic and your guidance! Thank you for taking the time, effort and care😘

Awesome video! I just bought the wide leg jeans. They are great 😊

Thx.Alyssa! Very informative. I like wide leg in summer with really flowy boho or poet blouses or cropped wide capris. Skinny jeans with the blazers! Those flares are a tough call and same for the straight. May try the straight jeans cropprd with booties after seeing this vid Xoxo Joanne-- snow this week in AB, 🌹🌹

Thanks

Ciao Grazie per il grande video. . Can you do a video on maybe a few types of denim fit & create outfits around that especially focusing on footwear. You gave some really good examples of that in this video but to get your live fashion expertise with your wardrobe would be great. I would love to especially see how to style a boyfriend Jean chunky boots-How to balance with a top & or blazer.

Great video as always! I’ve been leaning away from jeans but I may need to try the boyfriend and straight cut. My skinny jeans are packed away for now. I wish we could just wear nice soft sweatpants!!🤗🦋

I love this in-depth analysis, thank you. I usually wear a straight leg, but you’ve got me wanting to try a wide leg or boyfriend (my big calves would probably appreciate it!).

Great video 👖

Great video! What style and or brand works best for a flat butt? I love jeans but have a hard time finding ones that make me look good from behind when wearing tops that don't completely cover back there.

Loved this video, so informative!! How you styled everything was perfection. I love the fashion inspirations showcased in the video too! ❤

Love all these tips!✨

The new, looser jeans sell out so fast, it’s hard to find them in stock.

Very helpful and love your videos 😊

Denim for ALL👌❣️👍👍😆🤗
