I know very high rise is your preference, and they look great on you. But the mid rise jeans actually look fantastic on you! They really balance your proportions nicely. All these jeans look great on you!

@r3toun Ай бұрын

Yeah she 501 gal, the high rise jeans compress her torso so much (visually) i don't think thats wise as a petite person

@neonemoneo Ай бұрын

Came to say exactly this! I used to wear high rise all the time thinking it makes *anyone's* legs look longer...turns out I have short torso and high rise jeans were just messing up my proportion 😂 Just bought a pair of COH jeans mid rise flared and it's like custom fit❤

@luluandmeow Ай бұрын

I think Helen would look better in mid-rise, high-rise is overrated imo and actually emphasises the tummy area by creating this plain wide area that focuses on the tummy. Also, with high rise you then can't see the waistband/belt and pockets unless you tuck the top in, and waistband and pockets are nice details that take focus away from a bulging tummy, most of us have a little bulging tummy, especially after a meal.

I think Mango sells one of the best quality denim clothing among fast fashion brands. The only downside is that their jeans are made for very tall people, but I prefer to wear heels anyway so personally, it does not bother me.

Thank you for this incredible review! I just bought the everlane jeans, excited to try these! I already have the Levi's rib cage, and wear them a lot! They definitely look better on your frame than the Levi's 501, 90's style. ❤️

@ShadowyLady82 Ай бұрын

Helen this is such a great and comprehensive review, great content as usual :) I actually really like the mid-rise styles on you too and agree on straight leg being a great shape for you. I'm not a big denim girl but when I do wear denim, I like a high waisted, full length and flare style. I'm 5'7" with long legs and curvy hips/chest, I just find that style to flatter me the most (something like Levi's 70's High Flater or the 726 Flare). I look off balanced in straight leg pants so I guess that aren't universally flattering. I gotta try the Uniqlo denim pants after watching your video, I think I would love those.

I got my first lyocell Ribcabe thanks to your video last year. Loved it. So I bought a darker color pair too. and recently I got another pair of Ribcage with linen, lyocell and elastane. IT feels amazing. It's like the improved version. At first, I sized up and felt kinda baggy and sized down for my next purchases. Because of lyocell, they still feel breezy for summer in the Us midwest

Thank you for the video! I've found that on wide hips, but more of a flat butt (that's me), a medium rise tends to look the best! Also don't forget the smell test with jeans. It's crazy, even with luxury jeans like Mother you really have to smell them, because the stench if it's in there, it never goes.

@katherineandini5962 2 ай бұрын

I haven’t purchased new denim for a long time until I stumbled upon a small store in my city last year that offers Armed Angels denim. I went back & forth between the straight-leg or the slim fit one (both are 100% recycled cotton), but ended up choosing the slim fit pair (I think the model is called Fjella) because it sits better on my waist. If you’re looking for straight leg jeans & don’t mind higher rise or shortening the inseam, the Aaikala model from Armed Angels is a good one!

@McGothlette Ай бұрын

Wonderful advice as always. For me, with long legs and a short torso (max height Flamboyant Gamine), I like to balance my overall proportions. I have several pairs of high rise jeans that I love and they make my legs look incredibly long, especially in heels, but then my torso looks terribly small on proportion, so I tend to untuck my top, often assymetrically. :)

I haven't found the perfect pair of jeans, but so far the Levis' 501 original cropped is the closest. The fit is a flattering straight with a slight tapered leg, the rise is not too high or too low, just right on my body (I never tuck in my top). The only thing is I wish it had the 1-2% elastane for more comfort. 100% cotton is not something I'm used too.

@lauriejohnson-daley3753 2 ай бұрын

I have them and washed them with vinegar and then put them in the dryer with dryer balls and a towel. This softened them nicely so not so stiff. I also went up a size, just a bit looser made them more comfortable.

I recently tried Pull & Bear jeans and I´m pleasantly surprised. I tried pairs that have a 1% stretch in them and I am so happy I tried a pair. Sometimes you just get a little sick of thinking that only Levi´s and further up the price range are good for a little more curve.

i have a pair of P&B - they are comfortable for me, but the problem is that after few washes there are parts that became totally white (the jeans are light blue) and i washed them in cold water without bleach or any other strong chemicals which could kill the color(( maybe i got unlucky with my pair but i feel like quality of paint and cloths itself isnt the best one

Due to my significant waist/hip ratio, only "curvy" jeans fit me, but I was so dissatisfied with super stretchy jeans they tend to make as they crumble apart 😅 Thank you for your insights and I might buy a curvy version of the Everlane jeans you ranked ❤❤❤

@kat_thefruitbat 2 ай бұрын

At this point, Levi’s would owe you a hefty commission payment for the countless number of ribcage jeans sales you’ve undoubtedly brought them throughout the past three years!! 😄 They would be smart to hire you for a modeling session because you wear them so well!! 😻 I think the Arket pair looks really nice on you!! In terms of waist definition, the rise seems just right!👌 The back pockets on the pairs from Sezane and Uniqlo are verging on looking comically small in my opinion lol 😅 But the reinforced waistband is a very thoughtful detail on the Sezane pair! I know when it’s time to wash my jeans because the waistband will have a lot of creasing and not sit as flat anymore without a belt. I would imagine this might never be an issue with a reinforced waistband, and I bet this might actually be a fairly easy thing to sew in as an alteration with a strip of denim fabric or even some twill tape. 🤔 I was also very surprised by the look of the pair from Mango! Although, I have pretty low expectations for how long they would retain their polished appearance. 🙃

Sorry for the semi-unrelated question but I've been in love with that sweater you've been wearing in this and a few other videos (the "Round Neck Drop-Shoulder Merino Wool Sweater" by Lilysilk), however, it is merino wool and dry clean only. Do you dry clean it, or are you able to get away with handwashing it? If you do dry clean it, how often? I'm thinking of purchasing it at some point, but I'm admittedly a bit lazy and stingy when it comes to dry cleaning...

I found my perfect straight leg jeans in M&S in the UK, Autograph straight leg jeans with lyocell, (£49.50) they come in a lighter and mid-blue and in different lengths so no need to alter them. They're very soft and comfortable, and completely straight all the way down the leg, they do not taper in any way and they're a slim fit, not a baggy fit. They're described as high waist but they're not too high waist (my preferred waist would me mid-rise, which is difficult to find at the moment). I bought multiple pairs after years of searching. For a gentle bootcut, I love M&S Eva Bootcut jeans at just £25

@nl7247 2 ай бұрын

Thanks Helen. The Mango jeans looks most flattering for your in camera. The high waisted jeans tend to enhance the size of our bottom, tummy, and proportion, but they are very comfortable especially the lyocell ribcage. The deep creases on the Evelane jeans in the front makes it looks tight and strange... ❤

And I've bought a pair of agolde off of Poshmark and they're not worth the money imo, I was expecting the nice thick delicious denim that compares to my vintage ones , not even close. In the affordable realm if you're a curvy girl try Gaps cheeky straight. I reach for those over any of the modern brands that I have.
