I love high waist boot cut, dark wash, no rips, no crazy pattern, embellishments, faded parts. The hardest ever to find. Yours look great on you!

@jekku4688 Жыл бұрын

you may find this funny BUT...I found some comfy stretch jeans at Walmart in the dark blue wash! They have been stepping up their game lately, and constantly surprise me with some of the things they carry. Also, Old Navy is known for having decent (yet cheap) jeans. I've bought several pair from them.

Boot cut jeans for me, and dark wash only. The days of low-cut jeans are long behind me, so a higher cut.

@ziggymarlowe5654 4 жыл бұрын

I do prefer straight leg, dark wash, they give the illusion of longer legs (I'm 5'4"). However, I fear that my larger derriere make me look like a ice cream cone. A longer, sweater or top can camouflage this a bit. Any tips are appreciates to style a short, roundish figure. My days of 18 y/0 and 100 pounds are not coming back. But I still want to look stylish. Not trendy, just stylish.

I now have 7 pair of jeans (all thrifted) after having not worn jeans for years. I reverted to the look of them and I love them now. I have one pair of bootcut high-waisted in dark grey DKNY.The others are shades of mid to dark blue that include 2 pair Levi 501 and 505. I do prefer the 100% cotton but will wear 1% or 2% elastane. More than that I think compromises the true denim look. I'm petite --5'2" ,thin and a slight pear shape. This was one of your best videos!

Great advice. Here in the States we see a lot of "funnels" and a lot of articles trying to tell us that cropped skinnies with ankle boots gives us long legs! I agree- the skinny has its uses, but bootcut is so much more flattering to a woman's shape. I like the jeans of NYDJ. They come in every style and color, and have a little bit of shapeware built into their construction.

I’m an hourglass and I know they don’t look as nice on me as a girl with tiny hips...I feel like a bowling pin😂 I do own a few pairs of skinny jeans tho and I usually wear them with knee high boots-the boots help add width to the leg and add balance for more hourglass look.

Hello Marie-Anne, I also like bootcut with some stretch. However, in autumn and winter I prefer to wear skinny jeans with boots over the top. For me, I don’t like any extra fabric around the knee where the jeans are tucked into the boots, it doesn’t look streamlined. One problem I have is, no matter how well they fit and even if they are high rise, somehow jeans or trousers always manage to ride down. Not much but it seems every time I get out of a car there I am hoisting them up!

@RobinMooreBand 4 жыл бұрын

I like medium to dark wash jeans. I own both skinny and boot. My two faves are Joe's Jeans in Muse (I think?) and Hudson Jeans in Colin-flap. I have had these jeans for well over eight years and they are amazing. What I really love about both of them are how well they have lasted and the quality. The Hudson Jeans have the flap- button back pocket, which help give a little umph to my backside. I am a rectangle.

@karensetchfield3495 4 жыл бұрын

Marie-Anne Lecoeur Can I add, I doubt they are old fashioned. Decades ago, do you remember, only one particular style would be in fashion and that’s all you could buy. Everyone wore the same style and every other style just looked plain wrong. I think all that has changed, otherwise, why would jeans of the same brand be available in such different styles? It’s a good thing too because, if people are going to wear jeans forever, it wouldn’t make sense to produce them only according to whatever is the current trend. Even though we see new jeans trends come and go, people still want their staple style.

@karensetchfield3495 4 жыл бұрын

Marie-Anne Lecoeur Yes, I understand the problem. I meant, rather than one style of jeans being “the style” for a few years, and every other style looking out of date, nobody looks twice at different jean styles today. At least I don’t think so, maybe I’m wrong! I haven’t bought jeans from these brands but I’ve seen different cuts in Gap, Boden and Next. That’s not to say they’re a good fit though, I don’t know. Glad you found what you were looking for xx

@michellehamric6856 4 жыл бұрын

I am a triangle like you, Marie-Anne, so I know the challenges of finding jeans that aren't too big in the hips and thighs. The brands that fit me the best are Vince Camuto (at Dillard's) and Banana Republic's slim through the hips. Most of my jeans are skinnies, but I recently purchased a couple pair of boot cut that are at least at the belly button. I do best in a slightly higher waist to help me look my slimmest even though I'm small and a slight body shape. After wearing skinnies for so many years it's taking my eye some time to become accustomed to how I look in a (not too wide) boot cut. But, it's a nice change instead of my usual skinnies. Depending on which style of jeans I'm wearing helps determine which of my beloved boots I'll wear; ankle or knee boots. Thanks for another great video! Yesterday I went shopping for a small houndstooth, black and (slightly off white) white straight skirt. I found myself asking if Marie-Anne would approve of the shape for my body, the workmanship, the fabric, the print, and the classic style. The answers were all YES!!!! It's all coming together and I love my clothes right now the most I ever have, all while remembering that LESS IS MORE and QUALITY OVER QUANITY.

Turns out I have a pair of jeans almost exactly like those in the bottom of my drawer that I haven't worn for years since the skinny ones became fashionable. I pulled them and they fit perfectly and I will wear them again! thank you.

Thank you Marie-Anne for a short and sweet but informative video. I prefer high rise jeans to hold my bulges in. I am a pear shape so straight-cut and boot cut are more flattering for me, but I could get away with skinnies if I wear a long flowy top to fake the inverted triangle/ rectangle shape.

good tip, yes, when you find a good pair always buy 2 or 3 pairs, as it is hard to find good fitting jeans ,

I'm a pretty tiny hourglass and pulled my bootcut jeans out of the cupboard to try on after watching this and nearly fell over laughing. Think I will stick with my mid-waisted skinny jeans for a while longer. You looked great in both types of jeans.

Dear Marie-Anne, Just today I found the perfect jeans that I have been looking for . That’s Bootcut style. I wear only skinny and bootcut Jeans . I m petite and I love jeans that make me look slim n tall. Bootcut makes my legs look longer as you said and holds the muffintop in which is great! I bought one today from (Only)store. I didn’t look at HM . I will surely go n have a look there. Thanks for sharing. I would love to see how you style Bootcuts jeans like what shoes and tops goes well with it . TIA 🙏😘🙏

I love midrise skinny jeans and straight leg. I used to like bootcut, but not so much anymore. I saved a pair, so maybe I will try them out again.

hi happy new year everybody. I am not a fashion expert but I have bought jeans from M & S several times mainly because I find all the size range . However, the biggest downside with these jeans especially the deep colors is that they fade all the way each time you wash them either by hand or machine. To avoid such cases, read the labels and when it says some color may transfer, it is certain that the jeans will lose color very quickly. Another tip would be to check the fabric composition because if the elastane is high percentage you may need a size smaller.

Hi Marie Anne 🌹🌸! I have the following issues with bootcut jeans. One, because I am petite, and hardly any one makes jeans for our height. So bootcut is impossibly long, or I need to get them tailored to my lenth. I don't find that issue with the skinny jeans. Secondly, the skinny jeans I find easier to style. Also super comfy. After years, I have found my most comfortable jeans in Zara to wean me off the tights.

I'm 5 ft so although I love bootcut they can look odd when shortened (even petites need shortening for me). I try to go with straight as skinny jeans are snug on my calf and I don't like that look for my age. Like high rise as they hold it all in.

boot cut is my favourite, because i have long feet so boot cut with medium heel make my legs longer and my feet nice

So true from a short inverted triangle. They are so hard to find but a lovely lady on your site on a prior post told me where to find some. However i still always need to have them altered at the hips. Lovely tailor in Melbourne who is Italian. Even though I now live in another state still post items down to them. I buy the size that fits my waist perfectly and then tailor the rest. It does make a difference. So enjoyed your post and would love to know the brand

Bonjour Marie-Anne. Watching this video made me laugh as I too am a rectangle (74 with no bum!) and find it difficult to find the perfect jeans. Two years ago I finally found the perfect black straight leg jeans....at H&M! After a couple of months I decided I should get another pair to have when the first pair gets a bit tired. Went back and found the very last pair....so I've learned to buy two pairs at the same time rather than hoping to find the same ones some time later. I love your channel and "share the chic" with a couple of friends here in Toronto :). Patricia

Hello, Marie-Anne! Thank you for another lovely video! I have a question. Is boot-cut still a good choice if you're short (1.59m) and chubby, with round legs?

@christinebull2949 4 жыл бұрын

I am changing to bootleg!I wear dark skinnies ,high waist and slightly stretchy..All for comfort. My daughters told me to wear skinny because I have skinny legs and it has been hard to find bootlegs that fit without looking too big. I'm 5'5 and 50 kg. My body shape looks identical to yours Marie Anne and your jeans look great! So...guess where I'm going in the next few days! Thanks again for sharing yourvpearls of wisdom once again.😀

So, I was amazed that you began this presentation with LEVIS! My all time best fitting best suited jeans in my life. Leg length, waist fit perfect! I wore mine to death! I still have 1 pair.. straight leg, about 20 years old..☺ Other jeans boot cut, and different styles. But, skinny jeans are A No No for me, they make me look too thin and long, but most of all, very annoying to get off. In a nutshell, I prefer straight leg, bcz it's timeless. And I m happy that manufacturers introduced a little elastic/ stretch in jeans, makes them more comfortable to wear. So, next time I find jeans really really to die for, I'll be buying 2! 😁 A biento.😘

I am 5’3” and high waisted jeans are up too high over my belly button. I rather have a mid-low rise, but the boot cut looks the best on me since I have hips at 125 lbs. skinny jeans are very unflattering for me, however they are the best with riding boots which is a very popular look where I live in horse-country. I love your videos & look forward to them, keep up the good work❤️🙏🏽

Marie-Anne - I really appreciate your videos and enjoy seeing styling that is classic and classy. I was wondering if you would do a video on dressing for hot weather. Since you lived in Mexico, I was curious if you made any adaptations to your usual style. I live in Florida where it is very hot most of the year and find it challenging to dress in anything but shorts and t-shirts without feeling like I'm going to melt. Dressing for work is easy since I'm in the a/c all day. But, do you have suggestions for when you're outside in the heat?

I like dark wash, straight leg, classic style jeans, no added decorations, spangles, pocket flaps. I’m 5’4, but I feel like boot cut make me look shorter. BUT...there are some brands doing a slight boot cut, and I might try them next. It’s not as wide as a regular boot cut at the bottom. Great video.

I was smiling the whole time while watching this video. I used to have a pair of perfect Levi's boot cut Jean's and I wear it all the time, until i.gained a few pounds. Then I kept going back to Levi's stores hunting for the same perfect look, and I thought, they must changed how they make Jean's. It's not the same anymore. To this day, I could not find the same look, that perfect Jean's. I have never tried H&M...thanks for the tip, I will go try their Jean's. I may be in luck this time and will get two:)

I like a high waist Jean because I have a high waist and a longer leg. My tip is to go for the Tall range because they have a higher rise. I then get them hemmed to my preferred leg legenth. Gap do a tall range as do Next. I also always go for boot cut as I look rediculos in skinny jeans! Thank you for this helpful video.

@shirleygibbs7440 4 жыл бұрын

Hi, Marie-Anne! Very helpful video. My favorite: Bootcut, slimleg with stretch, dark wash. Midrise fit best (after some surgery left me with a bit of an unplanned change🥴, but did correct some medical problems! Yea!😊.) But I'd like a bit higher rise, if I could find the right brand & fit! YES! Buy 2 pair! I'm rectangle, too! But larger than you! Great video on jeans! You look great in yours! I kept waiting for you to turn, smile, & wave to us as you walked across that quaint bridge!😉 Thanks for sharing your expertise! I'm pairing my clothing choices much better! 👍💞💞 PS: I just hate the trend in faux front pockets & pullup wide waistbands! 🙄 I will NOT buy them! 💞💞

When I was a nice hourglass, I loved Gloria Vanderbilt jeans more than anything! They are made for womanly curves, and don't gap in the back. Now that I have a tummy (bye bye to 24 inch waist after 4 kids...) GV plus sizes still fit me pretty well.

I’m a rectangle and I look good in skinny jeans because I have narrow hips and plump butt still … I like boot cut but sometimes I feel short in them . I have to wear heels with it in order to make my legs look longer and I’m for comfort so forget that!
