We all have a favorite pair of jeans - what's yours?

[@littleninja71]

Classic Levi 501's with a mid rise. I have long skinny legs and a short curvy torso. A straight leg balances my curves and stick legs, and a mid rise creates more balance than high rise. Skinny jeans were never my friend and while the right high rise can look good, it is hard to find a rise that doesn't accentuate the short torso.

[@sarahlydia9325]

I love my mid rise bootcut! I’m petite but have a curvier bottom half and I always feel my best in a boot it paired with a heeled bootie.

[@heidimeigs5192]

My favorite pr to wear are my Levi’s boyfriend jeans….purely for comfort. The most flattering pr is a dark wash, mid rise, straight leg. I’m only 5ft tall so they make my poor little short legs look an inch longer. 😁

[@pjrichards3974]

I look best in high rise flares .. with heeled booties.

[@JackieMoss]

Cabi mid rise boot cut

[@lindablackerby9819]

Thanks for making your videos with a focus on vertical lines and body types. I’ve known I’m pear shaped my whole life, but what I also am dealing with is being 5’2” with a short torso. Dealing with the vertical lines has finally helped me understand why I don’t wear a lot of my clothes that were supposed to work. Most of the time, I can now make them work - it’s how I style them to create the vertical balance that makes all the difference. This explains why a top and bottom that ‘match’ on a hanger don’t work when I pair them, so I keep taking them back off when I try to wear them.

[@TColoradoF]

Your videos always teach me something new. As a short-waisted person, I always blamed my awkward fitting outfits on my torso. Now, I try to look at my shoes, my neckline, the rise of my jeans… SO much to think about, but knowledge really is power! Thank you 😃

[@JulesBeth]

Yay! This makes me so happy to hear. Blame the clothes, not the body 💕

[@Patricia-pq4jq]

Me too......

[@gingerlove7739]

Yes pls, I would love a video for shoes alone and pairing them with overall outfit.

[@panda62209]

Yes please on a video about what shoes to wear with different styles of jeans!

[@patriciarees3776]

It's so wonderful to see another video from you! Dressing well and achieving an optimal look for your body shape involves so much more than I ever consciously knew. Instinctively, it was obvious than some combinations worked better than others, but now I know why and this will make things easier to acquire that desired look more reliably. Thank you for these great insights and helpful tips...love them as I have the shortest torso ever!

[@g3andrea]

Love your tips about matching tops with bottoms to blend, and matching the rise with the neckline! Vertical lines are often overlooked. I am short (under 5'2") with a rectangle body. My ribs and my hip bones have n space between them, and I also have a fuller bust. And, with a thicker waist, it is hard to find any pants (or skirts) that fit me. I have to alter the hip and thigh area to make them almost one size smaller to fit my body. I like how you spoke about knowing your front and back rise. VERY HELPFUL! I don't really gravitate towards distressed jeans. I look best in a straight leg, boot cut, or flare leg jean, but I do have one pair of skinny jeans in turquoise that I have owned for many years, and just can't let them go.

[@waitwhat3588]

Bought a pair of dark denim, trouser boot cut jeans at banana republican 20 yrs ago. Still fit, look great. They’re a solid weight. Best $60. Ever spent.

[@JulesBeth]

I LOVE purchases like that!

[@moni711]

Hi Jules...you cover things that I never thought about. Thank you for the amazing info and hard work ❤

[@JulesBeth]

Happy to help!

[@1infoful]

Glad I found your channel. Refreshing and cleverly presented. You stand out! Love "intelligent fashion". Not just "mind-numbing consumption-jumping on the latest trends-buy buy buy" channels that hurt our wallets instead of what makes us look really great, what will work, shopping smarter and what we already have. Love this! You and only a few KZbinrs in this genre capture my time and attention these days.

[@JulesBeth]

Wow, thank you!

[@sarahlydia9325]

I literally learn so much from your videos!!! Looking forward to the video about boots for body types ☺️

[@Apurwasp]

I love your videos they provide such in depth knowledge about every style

[@JulesBeth]

Happy to hear that!

[@janebrewer9326]

I am so glad I discovered this channel. I love the rise/hem length/neckline ideas. I have a long torso but the space between my bust and waist is very short. Your explanations help me understand how to use my proportions instead of the typical long torso tips that just aren’t working for me. Thanks! Edit: my fave jeans are Levi’s 711 ankle cut

[@chrisihouck8393]

This was a great help, thank you!

[@MH-pw3vy]

So many good tips here for someone who wore bell bottoms the first time they came around! I especially liked your explanations regarding why some jeans and styling work better than others to achieve the look that is right for my current body shape. So helpful!

[@JulesBeth]

Yay! That’s my goal!

[@ruthlanwarne8978]

Helpful video but my problem is finding jeans that fit my waist and my slim legs. I find it really hard to get jeans to fit. I’m quite straight up and down so proportionately my waist is a size bigger, especially as I’m getting older. Is there anything you can suggest?

[@theresabroeren1348]

Love love love the detailed explanation and learned some new things here that make a big difference! So glad you are back and looking forward to the how to match the shoes with your pants video!!

[@JulesBeth]

Yay yay yay! I’m so glad 🥰

[@taccora]

I love a true high waisted straight leg jean or wide leg. The problem I've found is that I have thick thighs and a big butt with a small waist and so I always have a gap UNLESS I buy a jean with high spandex content, but I prefer a mostly cotton jean with only 2% or less of spandex so my favorite tailor has become one of my best friends.

[@josealfonsosilvalatorre1826]

Great video 😊

[@luluandmeow]

I have found my perfect pair of jeans (and only £25) in Marks & Spencer's in the UK, it's the Eva Bootcut and they come in different washes, colours and lengths, so flattering, I bought several pairs

[@bellaheblan8479]

Great information and explanations! Thank you! ❤

[@JulesBeth]

Glad it was helpful!

[@luluandmeow]

The horizontal distressed lines across the hips are called "whiskers"

[@beepbopboop3221]

I have a comment about rise vs scoop. Often, jeans have the right rise but not the right scoop for curvy bottoms. I think your talking about scoop more often. In sewing rise is just the vertical waist to crotch but scoop is from the front waist through the legs to the back waist. It can vary greatly for the same exact rise. It's hard to find unicorn jeans. If I fit the scoop, often the front rise is too high, resulting in irkle pants or a saggy front crotch just so my butt is covered. As a result, I end up wearing something in the middle with longer shirts to cover my lower back. Then my jackets look dumb because shorter jackets fit me better and the longer shirt hangs out. I just sewed myself some joggers that fit right in the front and back (with a back yolk that is perfect). I might see about altering the pattern for fly and make some in denim.

[@sihlempungose1578]

Best tips 👌🏾🙌🏾💓

[@TheresaRene360]

Awesome tips as always Jules!

Really love your videos! Thank you!

[@JulesBeth]

Glad you like them!

[@Tunenine]

I look at a lot of clothing cliques on YT, but I've never seen one so serious, yet funny as heck. I love it. You need to be a speaker on Audible or somewhere because it's the voice that grabs emotions and you're talking about jeans and I'm staring but getting all kinds of giggles.

[@JulesBeth]

[@kristinetank3959]

Great info!

[@JulesBeth]

Thanks for watching!

[@marybethstawarz3705]

Excellent 😊 A video about boots and your body type would be great.

[@emilymacura1651]

Yes! Teach us how to pair shoes with pants. Please! I never know what shoes to wear or even what shoes to buy.

[@mckenzies6824]

Please make a video like this for shoes!! I always struggle because I have bigger calves because I am a runner

[@n.s.9156]

I love the sleeping dog wanting to be close to her, so cute ☺️ Also, I think this video is well explained 👌 She speaks clearly, confidently, and calmly.

[@JulesBeth]

Thank you! He’s such a love bug 🥰

[@YouTubeBeautyStars2011]

You look amazing in jeans that's for sure!

[@dstern5859]

My favorite jeans are made by Silver Jeans Co. and I always choose the mid rise style for my short torso. I can wear 9 1/2” rise and it hits just below my belly button. I live in Canada so I’m not sure if these jeans are just sold here. I love your tips for keeping our style proportionate even though we have that short torso. Thank you for doing these great videos! 😊

[@JulesBeth]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@Patricia-pq4jq]

Great video ty

[@JulesBeth]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jsavannah]

It's finally sinking in that I'm a little short waisted. Mid rise jeans come right up to my navel. The Lee mid rise boot cuts I just bought actually cover my navel -- so for ME, these are high rise. Any higher than this is completely uncomfortable. I haven't bought Lee in years, but am appreciating all over again how they fit great on someone with a small backside and slender thighs.

[@odettelindeque3653]

Such great info , thanx👌👌could you add sneakers to styling boots…. And to not look like you going to gym in your jeans😂😂

[@rosej9686]

It would be great if back rises, along with front rises, were given in garment descriptions. Thanks for another great video! ❤

[@JulesBeth]

YES!! Petitioning rn

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

Great but personally I think I’d rather wear the jeans that look best on my body with the least amount of effort. So like… these pants will look good if my shirt is the same color or a different color. Gives more style options if you stick with the jeans that look best regardless.

[@laurenclark2081]

I am 5 foot four, and have an apple shaped body. Whenever I have tried to wear high rise jeans, they are actually painful and just feel weird because they end up having the waist line screwed up under my breast. I just have not ever found a pair of high-rise jeans that fit well, and were comfortable. I stick with mid rise. Even if I wore high-rise, I’m still going to wear the same sort of Midsection hiding shirts. Because I am so embarrassed about my body. I always avoid shopping. I end up buying the fashion trends as they’re going out of style because it takes me that long to work up the courage to buy something. And it’s frustrating because what is a straight leg Jean on you is going to end up being almost a boot cut or maybe even a wide leg Jean on me. They cut the legs wider for plus sizes even though the bottom of my legs is not plus size. I hate the look. I just try to find a pair of jeans that make me look invisible.

[@cecibee3495]

Maybe because I am not curvy in my lower half, I tend to only pay attention to front rise inch measurement 🤔…..However, I’ve noticed that Nordstrom is good at stating both front and back rise on many of their jeans, especially Wit & Wisdom.

[@annie-sc]

10:20 interesting, I've always wondered why sometimes I feel off. It makes sense now 😂

[@Patricia-pq4jq]

Love the pup

[@Patricia-pq4jq]

I like lightwash jeans

[@latinaalma1947]

Since I am 5ft 4in small hourglass body it is easy for me...high rise ONLY EVER. Other rises want to slide right off my body. I also always have to wear a belt whichnis fine ...it emphasizes my waist. I prefer slim fit jeans. In slacks I do wear looser fit sometimes but in jeans never will I go baggy legs. In style,,our of style I dont care I know what lokks net on me. I never have worn rips of any type or distressing...often I buy vintage when stores dont have what I want.

[@francescaborroni3764]

What do you think of wearing mom jeans for rectangle body shape?

[@EuSka1789]

Sorry, I'm trying to understand better and this might be a dumb question but how do I know if I have a long or short torso, if I'm petite? I feel like for my body's proportions my torso is long...for example I think I look better with high waisted jeans but is that because of my torso or because my legs are super short? Also do I have to take into account only my proportions or also the average torso length? Because my torso is definitely shorter than the average person. For example whenever a dress is supposed to have some kind of sewn on belt it sits on my hips instead of at the waist like it does for my friends.

[@patricianorton3908]

I’m at the opposite end of the torso spectrum! Any top/dress or coat that has a 'tacked' on belt or has loops on the sides causes me to be wearing an ‘empire waist' garment. The almost perfect solution is to cut the offending loops/tacks OFF! Then slide the belt down 2-3” to sit at my waist…. Voila!! From NH, Patricia 👵🏻 🤗.

[@nadine1959]

So how do we measure to know ? What is the way for us to know our rise ?

[@JulesBeth]

You get to choose your rise. YOUR preferred rise is wherever you want it to be and then measure that

[@dagnolia6004]

genius

[@apippin774]

I hate jeans but this info can apply to regular slacks

[@kippen64]

I am disproportionately leggy and pear shaped and celebrate this fact with my jeans. I like low rise jeans (they're not low rise on me) that are boot cut or flared. Skinny jeans absolutely do not work for me.

[@Chilaquiles-jz7vm]

I just bought some jeans and they fold weirdly on the backside below my bum .. creates three folds 😣

[@JulesBeth]

Oh no! Such a bummer (promise pun not intended lol)

[@BeeKaye]

Yes, please make a footwear video!

[@deboraharchuleta9896]

I'm sorry but its confusing. Nothing against your information.

[@luvyatubers]

You look good with really long legs, like a supermodel. I'll find a pair of jeans that fit me well except for my cheeks. I don't like them smashed flat or downward. I don't like the lifted feeling either. I just want room for them to be as they are. Could cutting out two holes back there be a fashion trend someday? Just kidding. I hope not but probably already is

[@katsnow9256]

Yep, short waist-ed here! I never ever wear a high wasted anything, mid rise just below the belly button is much better for me! Think Meghan Markle with her short waist and super high waist-ed skirts and pants, absolutely awful fashion!

[@JulesBeth]

The best rise is the one you love! Mid rise is my fav too

[@JackieMoss]

How awesome are you? I have 1/2 inch between my ribs and hips

[@JulesBeth]

Shucks thanks 🙃
