I’ve been loving the wider leg jeans these past two years, and find them very comfortable and flattering if the proportions worn with them are right. I’m tall, pus size, and pear shaped, and I’ve been getting compliments on my wide leg jeans whenever I wear them. Somehow the drape and softer shape works better at creating the illusion of a smarter outfit! Good tips in your video! Thanks from Canada!

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

That is wonderful Marilyn 😃

[@vickif.4645]

I don't like to tuck things in because of my tummy (working on it 😊). I have found that shorter, more fitted tops look better with the wide-legged jeans. Sometimes I knot the looser tops to make them fit better. Kudos to you for your slim figure! Cheers from Chicago 🎉

[@desireez5740]

Same. I wear a slightly fitted and just passed tummy. Works well. I have a less extreme pear shape/ pretty close to hourglass.

[@karenokeane6461]

Same here. I have a really short torso, and find that shorter tops, or knotting something up instead of tucking in is more indeed more flattering to my frame. And for me the most comfortable as well. :)

[@suepeck1456]

I’m loving the newer high waist wide leg jeans. I am 5’8” and pear shaped so have a small waist and wider hips and thighs. They look better and are much more comfortable than a tight leg and below waist jeans for me. I will buy enough to last for a while if they go away, but I think they will be around for a long time. Many people look better in them as they hold the muffin in rather than having it spill over the waist!

Merci, Marie-Anne! I always learn something from your videos, even when I'm not keen on the style, such as the wide leg trousers. Pairing the jackets was helpful as well. Your mother's jacket is a wow, as it is always good to see Coco and Peanut. They are effortlessly chic 😊❤

[@karenbransome6978]

Hello Marie-Anne x I saw this video pop up, and I decided I would purchase the wide jeans before watching. Risky 😮 I know. I love this style, and I feel amazing when I try them on, and yet I shy away from purchasing them. So I got a white pair and a dark denim pair and thought I would watch this video after. After watching your videos, I am beginning to love the body I now have and not fixating on the slimmer body I was before babies and health problems. A lady at church said to me that I had a merrier figure of a life lived. I loved this comment very much ❤️ 😅 Thank you for all your tips and tricks. I'm going to enjoy putting my autumn/winter look together ❤️ 🎉😊 Xx

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

Bonjour Karen - how wonderful that you are loving your beautiful, marvellous body that has given you the gift of children once more ❤️🙏

[@MichellePolzin]

I love wide leg jeans and trousers! I have an hourglass shape, so I choose the style that has a high waist that is closer to the body like the last pair you wore. I like to wear them with tops that are v-neck and broader in the shoulder, tucked in with a belt. I always get compliments when I do this. I recently purchased 2 vests, one like the one that you wore and another that is more like a jacket that is nipped in, with a notched collar. The second one really emphasizes my waist when I wear it with a plain v-neck t-shirt tucked in with my wide leg jeans. I have some low-heeled gold espadrilles that look very nice with this look.

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

[@Lindalu0422]

Thank you so much for describing the body shapes that can wear wide leg jeans. I am pear shaped and have always thought I look like a giant post in wide leg jeans or a midi denim skirt - one long, wide silhouette. You are correct about boot cut jeans. They do flatter my pear shaped body.

Thank you Marie-Anne. I have been dealing with chronic pain for the last 20+ years and am very limited in my movements, because of this (and comfort eating due to pain and frustration), l've put on quite a lot of weight and have a lot of associated shame and body image issues. I've been attempting to lose weight but, in the interim l have gone from a slim rectangle to a middle aged apple which l have no idea how to dress. Thanks to your tips l feel l can at least go out in public looking respectable and even stylish while l continue my journey. 😊

I think the first two pairs wide leg jeans make your lower half look wide even with the better choices in tops. I like the third pair, which is fitted through the waist and hips. I just don't think the first two would be flattering on anyone. xo~linda

Accidentally came across a video of yours on how to wear a denim midi skirt. Now subscribed and watching as many as possible. I love that you go into detail to show us the difference certain articles of clothing make in our appearance. Do you have a video showing different footwear and what they look best with?

[@stevenmans3925]

I love that silk shirt on you either way. ❤️❤️

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I’m so glad fitted-waist, or nipped-waist, blazers are finally available again. For at least five years, only those huge, boxy, too-long blazers were offered and I didn’t buy a single one. Showing shape at the waist is absolutely essential for my rectangle shape. I won’t wear those big, long shirts or tunics, either, they’re so visually thickening, leg-shortening and generally unflattering. I either tuck in my tops neatly all-around or wear waist-length ones, when I can find them, it’s not easy. So many brands still make their tops in that outdated, almost thigh length, that was designed to be worn with lower-rise pants from 2000-2020. The best thing I ever did for my style was to get rid of all those long tops and low or mid-rise pants! Longer tops are coming back in again, but they’re fitted, not boxy, and usually worn open from hem to waist, 100 times better.

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

It is lovely to have tailoring back again Kimberly 😃

[@thereseclark797]

I like the wide leg jeans. Out of the three you modeled, I prefer the ivory and the more fitted blue ones. I liked the brut color, but I think they would look better if they were slightly more fitted in the hip/bottom area. It's good to have a variety of silhouettes of jeans! As a rectangle myself, I wear everything from a skinny (yes, I still think skinnies have a place) to a wide leg. Proportion is the key to styling everything properly! Great video!

[@FOX007-um1wr]

So glad I found your channel. I have a nice pair of wide leg pants, high waist cut. Now I know what kind of shirt to wear with it. I do have a small belly, not an apple shape or anything, but I do have a tendency not to tuck because of the small belly. Now I see what it really looks like. I guess I will start tucking in. I need a belt though. LOL

Excellent advice with the balaning of the tops with the jeans. I haven't been wearing jeans this winter as i find too thick. I've been wearing skirts or leggings with long warm jumpers, ankle boots, and faux fur jackets. I know you dont like legging, but they are so comfortable.

I came upon your channel not long after coming home from our holiday in France. I'm a 61 year old Scottish woman and I'm really enjoying watching and hopefully learning the do's and don'ts of how to dress. While we were in France it always amazes me how stylish french women and men are and I said to a friend that a french woman could throw on a tattie (potato) sack and she'd still look good. Your channel is making me rethink how I dress. Merci.

Bonjour Biker Girl and a big French Chic welcome to you 🤗 I hope you enjoy this new phase of your style journey and never hesitate to reach out 😃

[@Gentle-Raven]

Great video! Im enjoying this trend. I'm pairing them with patent leather Vionic Flip flop sandals that have a nice bow detail. What shoes should I wear in the colder months? I am one of those ladies who hates tucking in her blouse. Instead, I have been wearing my wide leg jeans and linen pants with knit tops from J Mclaughlin. They skim my body closely. The tees with a jacquard printed texture are even more elevated and are heavier weight. I love my polo tops, and they even make a top with a nice ruffle at the neckline. I think I can get away with not tucking because they are short and hit not too far below my waist. The J Mclaughlin knit wear packs beautifully and has a nice drape.

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

Boots would work well 😃 I like your thinking alternative to tucking 👍

Thank you Marie-Anne! I’m getting ready to go out as I watch your video. I am wearing wide leg white jeans and was planning on wearing a striped button down shirt over the top. It’s a shorter, somewhat cropped shirt so I thought it would be ok untucked. After watching you and hearing your wise suggestions, I decided to do a front tuck and wear a neutral belt. Just in time!!

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

That was well timed indeed Anne 😃

[@vivienprice]

I’m fascinated by this video Marie-Anne, and people’s reactions. For me, I love wide leg pants in flowing fabrics and get stuck with wide leg jeans because denim is heavier and so my legs look blocky and bulky. I do have an ivory pair that work well. from Boden. I appreciate your tips here. But I think I’ll stick with the classic boot cut jean for me, because they look good and suit my shape.

New subscriber here. Good Lord, wishing I had the $ to redo my entire wardrobe after watching this video. I'm close to 70, 5-ft tall, size 18/20, and definitely an apple figure (uggghhhhh). I clearly see changes I want to make now and open myself up to tucking in my tops, pay more attention to styles I've been avoiding, need to buy some nice belts (haven't worn a belt in decades), start wearing straight-leg and/wide leg pants, on & on. Although I don't live in a "chic" area geographically, I still want to look my best that's also appropriate to where I live. I'm so excited to start making simple easy changes. I'm now binge watching all your videos to learn as much as I can.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I’m a slender, borderline petite (164 cm) rectangle-shape and I just never feel as good in my wide-leg trousers as I do in my straight-legged ones. Even with my beloved 2.5-inch mid heels, as high as I can stand. Even though I wear them with fitted tops, I just don’t think they’re as flattering on my short, narrow frame as straight-leg or tapered trousers. Part of the problem, I think, is that my hips are quite narrow, so I get extra fabric there if the trousers are sized to close at the waist, absolutely essential! This is why I wear mostly dresses and skirt outfits, I’m 64 and never found even one pair of jeans or trousers that fit me properly. Most can’t be altered because of the pockets, flat-felled seams in jeans, and/or side zippers, it’s much more involved than taking in a waistband.

Medium Wash, as it was the darkest I could find in my size, and they're nice. They're so comfortable, I feel like I'm wearing my favorite 'at home' pair of sweat pants.

Loved this, Marie-Anne! You opened my eyes to wide-leg jeans and trousers … I love their feminine look and love all those you’ve worn in all your videos. At least for me, I’ve grown very weary of the skinny jean. Plus, I live in a hot summer climate, and looser, wider legs make an enormous difference. I loved every outfit that you settled on here, especially your mother’s jacket (so lovely) and the Balmain (or Guerlain?) jacket. Wow. I love your necklace, and it’s the perfect length. If you can share, would love to know more. p.s. Your video on “finding your waist” changed my life. It made SO much sense. I didn’t think I could do it, but I’ve been wearing belts ever since, and loving it. MERCI!!! p.p.s. I love looking at all the stripes in your closet … it makes me laugh … and think I need to get more stripes! lol!

I am 5'3" size 10/12 on the bottom and an 8 on top- therefore I am a Pear. I think small flares and bootcut are best for me (I agree with you on that). But i can get away with the wide leg style if it isn't too wide and more fitted in the hip area. Oh and I am so happy that we are seeing high-waisted jeans and pants again. I was miserable in trying to make lower rise and skinny jeans work. Damn - I wore bell bottom hip huggers and the 70's , but with a body suit that snapped at the crotch. Yes I am that old.

Bonjour Hawthorne - it is difficult to say without seeing you and the coats! You need to get one that flatters your colouring first of all (see here kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZbXk4CmZ8ebnNk) and then you need to see which style will go with the most of your wardrobe and outfits 😃

@@MarieAnneLecoeur thank you for your response! Do you think it would work if I wore a navy/ green tartan pea coat over tweed blazers, mostly browns? I guess that’s too much pattern? I might have to go for the camel pea coat. I don’t know if I need a longer wool coat for formal occasions. I’m trying to build a wardrobe for the rest of my life so that I have appropriate things to wear for occasions as they arise, and so I don’t have to scramble around looking for the right things to wear, which is usually what happens.

My favourite are the Comptoir in this video. I noticed that there is a tendency for wide leg jeans to be quite tight in the derriere section and uncomfortable. I used to like them, but I guess that I will have to buy straight or boot cut again which I have always done because I stayed away from the skinny jeans. (I thought that they looked cheap.) I remember you being in the Comptoir des C. shop when you were in Paris. I instantly loved the dark blue washes. As for the black, always a bit of non-phosphate creamy detergent and cold wash. May I add that long dark denim skirts are my favourite this season, especially a pair with vertical seams. Best wishes, Ivanka Merci Paris 2024, c'etait spectaculaire.

Hi from Brazil!! I'm hourglass body type, 1,70m, 54kg .. I like to wear my wide legs with fitted sleevless tops with turtle neck. I also wear them with fitted tops, contrastant colors, V neck 🙂They match perfect with boots and short fitted jackets. Great tips!! thanks! 🙂 I don't like skinny & cropped jeans...

Just yesterday I spent hours trying wide leg jeans and none fitted 😂 I think they look better with mid or low rise, at least on me, because there’s less fabric on the belly. I’m tall (5’10” - 1,78) that’s why I prefer the Comptoir for you. BTW, loved ❤ your white blouse, which brand is it?

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

The blouse is from ME&EM Julia 🤍

Excellent tips for wide leg jeans Marie - Anne. Do you think I could wear a long cardigan with my wide leg jeans. I would wear a white blouse tucked into the dark wash jeans and the cardigan is navy. 🌺🌺

It is hard to say without seeing you Leonie 🙁
