STOP Feeling Frumpy in Wide Leg Jeans!

[@djlane5213]

I love them. They remind me of an earlier time in my life. I also LOVE a high-waisted pant. SO glad they’re back in my closet.

[@nanasloves]

I hear you, I rocked wide leg jeans in the late 70’s. 😊

[@ruthmyers6272]

I appreciate your video on this because I always felt like I looked frumpy in wide leg jeans sometimes but I learned how to wear them to flatter my body, by my body type. I never feel like i have to wear anything that doesn’t work for me. I do not chase trends. Thank you so much for sharing with us. God bless !!!!

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

You are so welcome!

[@FrozenSunshine-plk]

Exactly my thought - body type is the key to dresse well, not the trend.

[@jeanwhite2705]

Thank You for this video and especially your last tip. Not all trends work for you. I am a 70+ lady who is 180+ and 5 ft 2. No wide leg Jean is going to make the most or less of my waist or my height. I carry a massive cyst on my abdomen which can’t be removed and I just look like a pregnant Old Lady . I do the best I can with what I have and try to divert the eye to my upper body and feel as good as I can in my clothes. Thanks for this video.

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

You bet! A trend just means a certain style is more popular, but it is still just a style. There are so many other options for denim that still look modern and current.

[@jackielambes7208]

I love that you say that you don’t have to wear a trend. Wear what works for you.

I agree with you regarding this vid; this producer’s giving the reader great , positive information; HOWEVER, after listening to (MORE) advice of “do this; don’t do this”…and, I decided that I DON’T want to hear any more “improve yourself” vid’s..!!

[@anneann9127]

I'm 5'4", about 130lb, and own several pairs of wide leg jeans and pants. I actually like a more oversized top/blouse draping material with them, especially because I have a larger chest, and the last thing I need is something that esentuates it. I guess I don't really care if someone thinks I weigh 15lbs, more it's what "I'm" comfortable wearing. 😅

[@ST52655]

I have purchased 3 pairs of wide-legged jeans, but really prefer my bootcut jeans.

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

I think that is okay. As I said at the end of the video, these are just a trend, but you aren't "out of style" if you wear other jeans like bootcut or flares. Fashion is about wearing what you LOVE and what looks best on you.

[@stacys.7094]

I love wide-leg jeans and this video is so helpful in how to wear them.

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

[@JackieFutch]

I’ve not found a wide leg jean for my apple shape. If they fit in the waist, they are baggy in the butt. What I am in love with is the Clara SunWoo wide leg pants with pockets. They fit my butt and my waist at the same time bc they are a knit fabric. Very high quality material, just thick enough to smooth out the imperfections and not be too heavy. Dress them up or dress them down and the perfect alternative to jeans.

[@dianachristie5700]

I did buy a wide leg Jean and besides being too long, I love the fit! I'm in the process of hemming them. Thanks for the tips!

YEAH! I'm so happy to hear that!

58, 190, 5'2"....I ADORE wide leg jeans and cords! I hate restrictive clothing! I do hem them just a titch higher so I dont trip AND I look for cropped jeans because I am short and sometimes the cropped length hits just above my cute boots and shoes.

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

Great tip on looking for cropped jeans when you are shorter. Knowing your inseam is so important! It allows you to make smart decisions regardless of what the "brand" calls it.

[@saundraweed9738]

If you have lymphedema these “wide leg” jeans are super helpful.

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

Good to know! Thanks for the tip.

[@tplayspiano]

This was very helpful. I have tried on probably 6 to 10 pairs of wide leg jeans and sent them all back. They swamp me. This helps me understand why. Thank you!

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

They aren't easy to wear, for sure. They are always going to have visual weight because of their structure and style, but hopefully these tips will help mitigate some of that.

[@nancymangini4581]

I agree. I have tried so many on and never have bought them. I'm tall and they make me look huge. My favorite jeans are long, skinny kick. I am passing on this trend. Love this video. I will quit trying. It's OK 😊

No baggy butt 😂 I love my MadeWell wide leg jeans. I have several styles, and now, because of your video, I can style them and not just wear them. Thank you!!

Comment: I would have loved at the end of your video for you to have showed lots of these tips in outfits as a visual for those of us who need it lol.

[@MicheleCallahan-e9z]

Great info. I see the wide leg jeans everywhere, but haven't tried any yet. I think I'll order a few pair and see if I like them on me.

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

I'll be curious to see what you think!

[@marilynmysak5889]

We used to wear them with platform boots or clogs and they looked great.

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

TOTALLY AGREE. Having a little height at your heel helps them to lay really, really well.

[@sylviaskinner6849]

I am 65 years old 58 and 200 pounds. I will be getting at least one pair. I can’t wait to find some thanks for all the tips. I’m looking for a budget pair so I’m hoping you have that on your list.

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

Good luck!

[@goldieARZ]

Great Tips, TY. As a plus size 5'4 woman, initially I welcomed wide-leg jeans and pants bc they skimmed my thighs. But as the wide-leg trend grew so did the leg circumference. Most online clothes sites only usually private pant length and inseam - but never hem circumference. Also, too wide jeans and pants can be awkward to walk in. And walking up a flight of stairs -- I'd compare it to attempting the same in a prom gown. I disagree w/ your statement that wide-leg jeans are straight from crouch to hem. I've seen wide-leg jeans that fan out. As paying shipping to retrn items that don't fit, I'm now very particular when I buy pants . I've gotten pretty good at estimating what's a 20" vs 32" inch leg circumference. I look for petite or crop versions which don't require hemming. And I'm even shifting back to true straight leg jeans and pants. As you advised, I find they fit my shape and my style better.

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

I did not say that wide-leg are straight from crotch to hem. I said they are straight from waist to hem. And they are - that is their definition. (Feel free to google it.) They should not bell out. If they bell out, more than likely they are a flare that is pretending to be a wide-leg jean.

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

Happy to help! Hope you find the perfect pair!

[@carolalvarez3925]

I think in general wide leg jeans are not for apple shape curvy ladies. I had one pair altered to slim down the legs. I then discovered that the ankle flare pull on jeans were perfect for me. Bought 2 pair and the fit was perfect. Women with Countrol. I'm only 5'2" and 157 pounds so need jeans that are slimming. Sometimerimes referred to as boot cut. Slim torso and flare doesn't start until comes to ankle. Who wants their legs to appear wider? Only the tall thin models.

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

Yes, I talked about how Wide-Leg Jeans are going to more voluminous compared to flares or bootcuts due to their construction. But, I don't think they are only for "tall, thin models" - we have several ladies in our community who are rocking them, but they have found ones that fit perfectly for them.

[@RobinSWAFA]

Thank you! Great video!❤

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

[@veroniquelauzon2801]

I tend to crop them all and i think they look fantastic with my black laces boots

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

Cropped is a great way to wear them!

[@gigilaroux762]

If you have straight hips too it’s helpful to not go to wide on the hem circumference; and maybe go with a wider bootcut instead. I feel limited with my body type, I really only look the best in boot cuts.

I just bought a pair of wide legged jeans. 62 yo 53 123 lbs. I love love love my skinny legged jeans now that I actually found some that touch my skinny legs…lol. But thought I’d try the wide leg again. I’m a turtleneck sweater junkie in the winter. I figure the fit of the sweater will pair well with the wide legged jeans. I’ll have to sift thru the shoe collection to see what will work with them.

[@MicheleBuchbauer]

Well, I appreciate your advice, and I’ve tried several pairs. Inevitably, I feel sloppy and clownish. So I’ve settled on straight leg or slight flare styles. Hoping styles go back to normal soon!

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

Good for you for trying a trend and then deciding it isn't for you. Knowing what looks best on you is key, but trying new things to keep your wardrobe modern is important too.

I’m 5’2 and love wide legs, my question is-they need hemmed-too long, can I do a one fold up? Or do I pay to have them hemmed

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

It would depend on you body type. For certain body types, the fold up would create visual interest that would defeat their goal in looking balanced. If you don't want to pay to have them hemmed, cutting them for a raw edge is an option.

[@Just_Kirsty]

Being 5'6'' and 119lbs with rather small (but far apart) measurements, I prefer wide-leg jeans that are more fitted around the waist and hip area and then fall loose below the hips. Also need full length, like touching the back of my foot, other than that they are gonna look weird on me. Learned that by trying on different fits. It's kind of hard to find a pair that actually FITS around waist AND hip line though, because in my case they are 11 inches apart in measurements and those wide-leg jeans often times have no to barely any stretch to them. I also like pairing them with more structured shoes and tops to balance the relaxed look of the jeans. Also using a blend of denim that's made of cotton and viscose can help because it is a more lightweight and flowy fabric than pure denim. For some people that might be a great option. Which style, material blend and fit works for whom highly depends on a person's built and the way they move, I think. I also do think that wide-leg tailored pants are a bit easier to wear comfortably and also easier to style, it might also be easier to find one that actually fits and feels nicely. But that's probably just my personal preference. I wear lightweight wide-leg, high waisted, tailored pants a lot during summer. I never struggled to find some that actually fit me nicely but it took me over a year to find a pair of wide-leg jeans that does fit me well AND I can still move freely in. I still prefer skinny jeans because to me they are not only easier to style and combine, they also feel way more comfortable (due to the higher amount of elastane of course) but that's also - definitely - personal preference. I get that some people don't feel too great in skinny jeans, I for sure love them though.

[@CarolynnScoffield]

Exactly agree with you on the skinnies! I still wear them. They are comfortable and no excess fabric to feel uncomfortable dragging around! I have ventured into bootcut and flares & like them when I want to get a little more “dressed up” to go out!

[@kathoward1049]

I've tried to find that perfect wide legged jean, and haven't found one that is not super wide looking on my leg. Do you know which jean brand shave smaller diameter wide leg jeans?

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

I have a list of the brands/styles that have worked best for our community. But you'll need to try them on and compare them to your frame. Remember to use the tip about your thigh circumference compared to the hem circumference. --> www.shopltk.com/explore/adoreyourwardrobe/posts/1ceb33ff-9257-11ef-a064-0242ac11001e

[@babycakes8434]

I am just transitioning from my skinny jeans into straight leg jeans. I luckily found a pair that fits like a glove. Are straight leg heans in style now, or nobody wears them?

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

So, style is different than trends. Styles are specific (wide-leg, straight, flare, bootcut, skinny, etc.) and "styles" are always around and they get worn all the time. Trends are when a style (like wide-leg) becomes popular. This means there are more options in the store and you see people wearing them more often. When people say "out of style" (I really hate that word combination, but it is what is used) it should mean a specific outfit formula with specific trends. So, think the early 2000s with skinny jeans, oversized tunic, vest, fashion boots, and an infinity scarf. That overall "look" is dated. But take the same skinny jeans and add an updated blazer, fitted blouse, and mary jane flat with gold or silver chain accessories and that look feels current. So, to answer your question. Lots of people wear straight jeans, but to look current, they will need to add a few things to their outfit that look on trend. It's why I tell people not to chase trends, but to chase style. Hope this helps.

This is so off point, but I love your book shelves and all your great stuff and the way you did your books by color. Great points on jeans. I like almost all the styles , but agree with if your pants are wide legged you can not wear a sloppy baggy top, and if you are petite don’t get a pair that is too baggy. ❤❤❤

I've just brought my first wide leg jean, I'm 5ft2 the jeans are 29 inches inside leg my inside leg is 28 so with a small heel boot say 1.5/2 inches the jeans feel too short but OK with flats, , so should I cropped them so I can wear them with my boots, what length do suggest would be best for me.

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

These are too short to wear with boots (at least the heel height you are describing). One of the first things you learn in my course is the RIGHT inseam for flats and boots (and how to figure that out).

I'm 5'2", size 4, hourglass shape, 57 years old and have just recently bought several pairs of flattering wide leg and flare jeans in petite lengths. Gap high rise stride, Old Navy Wow wide leg, Levi's Ribcage wide leg, Gap 70's high rise flare and Levi's 726 high rise flare. I haven't worn my skinny jeans in awhile and finally donated all of them to Goodwill.

Which of those styles are your favorite? I’ve been eyeing the Levi’s Ribcage.

[@lorrainespear1210]

​@@ceciliarodriguez5615Levi's Ribcage wideleg and bell are solid choices, often on sale at Macy's and Kohl's in regular lengths, run TTS and don't shrink. Old Navy Wow wide leg in the darkest blue wash look way more expensive/chic than their cost, run a tad big, mine shrunk in the dryer but at 18 bucks on sale I'll buy another and hang dry. Love my Gap High Rise 70s in medium indigo, bought a second pair. Gap High Rise Stride in Dark Indigo, runs a tad big, stretches out during the day in the waist (not baggy butt) but is so cute on and doesn't shrink. Levi's 726 flares are super cute, you can even get them at target if you wear regular length. This is the first time in years I've found any jeans I've loved that look more "put together". I have some Levi's Wedgies that are okay but they're way more casual because of the light wash/straight leg. Sorry for the essay 😂

[@elizabethharalson7903]

4 foot 11 inch and wide leg jeans are too out of proportion for my small frame. Some trends are not meant for petite. ( no, wearing tall heel shoes is falling down scary for a 67 year old petite)

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

Have you tried the petite sizing? Or the cropped sizing? Of course, if they aren't for you, that's okay. But your height shouldn't be the issue. Lots of brands have shorter inseams.

What about when you have a large tummy and need to cover it what tops to wear?

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

Covering your tummy with larger sized shirts covers more than just your tummy, it covers your shoulders, breasts, torso, arms. Finding the right rise of jeans so you feel comfortable in them with your tummy and the right-sized and length (and fabric content) top allows even ladies with a tummy to wear jeans with shorter top with confidence.

[@PamelaHarvey-fb2ws]

Four suggestions: 1.) Try barrel-cut jeans, which have a slight outward curve which make.the line more defined. Find a pair that has darts on the inseam, creating the curve. 2.) Adjust the length of the legs. I am currently shortening a lot of my pants and jeans because I want to show off my boots and shoes in colder weather, and sandals or strappy shoes to show off my tan in summer. I think shortening the leg to your personal preference creates movement and a lighter touch when standing and walking, instead of torso and curated accessories, supported by two heavy denim columns. 3.) If you are wearing wide-leg jeans, be sure their length is slightly above the soles of your shoes/boots, or you will trip and possibly fall. 4..) if you want a looser fit in the waist, follow the boys' trend of layering your jeans over the top of your "boxers". And do it asap, because it will soon be everywhere. Right now it's still new and unexpected for. women, so you'll be a trail blazer.

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

Hmm, did you watch the video? I talked about length of jeans and where they should hit at your shoes. As far as barrel jeans, I'm not a fan (they are too similar to boyfriend) and too baggy with not as much structure. And as far as wearing my underwear so it can be seen by anyone ... I'm not sure how that would fly with me or my audience.

[@susanvi1155]

Barrel cut jeans are so ugly - they make you look bow legged. And showing your underwear 😧. I always thought guys looked stupid, so please, not the girls 🙏

[@prettypoutsplus1871]

I pretty much get flared or a small bell. That’s as far as I go lol.

[@truly3743]

Tall skinny ladies can wear these jeans!!

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

Not true. Shorter and mid-sized can wear them too. You just need to find ones that fit your body and don't overwhelm your frame.

[@amandamorgan7049]

I dont understand how wide-leg jeans are such a fashion trend if it is so tricky to wear them that we need to watch videos about them! Having said that, your video is very professional and you give some good info 😊 I don't like wide-leg jeans myself but a few months ago, i ordered some boot cut jeans online (which i like, as well as straight cut). They turned out to be much more like wide leg jeans than boot cut. Due to a strict refund policy, i couldn't send them back so am putting up with them!

[@lorrainespear1210]

@amandamorgan7049 The right pairs are really flattening. My husband and I were having a heated discussion about a really annoying person and mid rant my husband said, you really need to buy more of those pants 😂

I am a fan of boot leg cut jeans. My thighs are on the small side. Because I am petite I wear them with heeled mules or boots.

[@ST52655]

Me, too! I’m petite and feel best in bootcut jeans and pants. I can wear any top I want with them. Also, they make me look slimmer.

[@pamelaschepis9367]

60, 5’8” and wear wide leg jeans all the time. Balance and proportion matter so I wear heeled clogs and a more fitted top/sweater. Not challenging to style at all

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

LOVE reading comments like this one! They are possible to wear when you know how to wear them. Keep rocking them!

[@charlenepodgorski8545]

I know these are the trend and I want to wear and like them. But it’s a struggle for me I am no longer young and skinny and they just don’t look good and I don’t really like them on other women either.

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

The key is FIT. I tried to layout all of the things to look for in a great fitting pair, but it will take "kissing a few frogs to find the right ones". And remember, FIT doesn't care about the price tag, it's about how they fit on your body.

[@kathrynrobinson8277]

What good is video with no body types or illustrations..some models along with your advice would help!🙁

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

This was a video about fit for wide-leg jeans, not body type. I gave lots of visual examples regarding fit.

[@Sandra-s5v1o]

I have thin legs and would not be caught dead in wide leg pants of any kind. They make me look fat and I stick to clothes that look good on me, rather than fads. 2:46 😢

[@ChristineHarrison-ue6qu]

Sorry but I can’t find where to work out my body type ?

wide-legged jeans

[@aikanae1]

I wear jeans because I don't have to think about them to much. My patience for fussy things is limited. I don't think this trend will take off.

[@nancyblackett8777]

Wide legged jeans are here to stay. Elegant and sophisticated. Skinny jeans look cheap and vulgar.

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

Nancy - Not cool. Why be mean? She didn't say she liked skinny jeans and even if she did, saying trigger words like "cheap" and "vulgar" isn't kind. Let's try and be kind, alright?

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

Unfortunately, the trend started almost three years ago. I'm pretty sure you are going to see them around for at least another year, maybe two.

[@cavgrey8]

I’ve been wearing wide leg pants & jeans for decades. Could care less what the trends are

[@stellacollins3114]

So why are you watching a video about trends 😂

[@Hobbesnevie]

At 5’3”, short waist and extremely curvy hips and bust, these are a hard pass for me. Also, I can;t walk around for any length of time in heels. What bothers me most about trends is that it becomes so difficult to find other styles that flatter.

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

Luckily, there are lots of other jean styles out there right now that will keep your wardrobe current (flares and bootcuts, specifically). And you don't have to wear heel with any of these, you just need to make sure your pants are hemmed correctly for flats.

[@hereandabout]

. i wear a pair of jogging pants underneath so they do well in winter . they do make me look overweight but i do not care .

[@KathyShields-z8t]

You’re doing a video about feeling frumpy with really skinny models. Please use a little “frumpier” looking models so we can see what really works.

[@sharonsalzberg2654]

I work out hard almost everyday and my size 0-2, 5’2” frame looks best in fitted, skinny jeans or leggings. They enhance my slim and toned body. This style is something I would never wear, along with oversized, voluminous tops. I am not trying to hide my body with clothing. This style would look good on almost nobody. I simply do not like it.

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

That's the great thing about trends - there are a lot of them and they work for some people and not others. But, I don't agree with you that they good on almost nobody. They look good on lots of people when you make sure to find a pair that fits correctly.

[@dianemarkevitch336]

I am 4' 11'' so I will be ignoring the wide leg trend; just not enough leg length to make it work. A slightly flared leg works better for me.

[@DebAnne41219]

I'm the same height as you. I have 3 pair of wide leg jeans. I absolutely love them. I wear a fitted tank top or a cropped top to offset the bagginess of the jeans. Maybe you could try that ...

[@marthablakely8130]

I’ll stick with my straight leg jeans…..

[@VintageFLA]

I’m still wearing my skinny jeans. I don’t care about trends.

[@kathernkelley5943]

I believe this style is making most girls look heavier. Probably because they're not wearing them right. I hope it's a fashion that ends soon

[@Rosecomments]

If the wide leg jean is too tight on the top they will come out at the top of the thigh looking like a camel haunch or knee, lol😂

[@terrifiorelli9819]

They make me look like I am buttless. I am 5’2”” and 110lbs. Not my favorite.

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

That is why fit is so important. My guess is you've tried pairs with a bigger hem circumference. Try a pair with a smaller one and you might notice a difference.

[@altaroberts5105]

Oh, you mean a straight cut jean.

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

Nope. Straight jeans are different. They are straight from the knee to hem, but can taper from waist to knee.

[@bonniebenz8792]

I just hate them. They make me look short and dumpy and I am thin. I am going to continue with my skinny jeans and knee high boots.

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

Maybe you didn't watch the whole video? My last point was that not all trends are for everybody. That would line up with your comment if you watched video.

[@lindalinder8423]

This was the first time I watched you. It would have been better if you actually showed some of the jeans on actual bodies.

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

That would require me to have five live models in the studio since I teach on body types. That it is outside of realm of finances for the size of my account. But please keep watching my videos so that one day, when I make enough money, I could do that. Maybe, I could hire you?

[@amuseher]

Wide leg/ bell bottom jeans add visual pounds to your figure. So unless you are tall and thin, suggest a hard pass.

[@Notmep]

Why would one chase a silly trend ? Most look really silly attempting to follow the latest nonsense, just wear a sign that says “ I need attention” Save you lots of money

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

And YET, you watched the video. Or did you? Because if you did, you would have heard me say, "You don't have to wear them. There are lots of other flattering jeans out there."

[@Hegelshome]

I think there are much more important things to think about rather than all this thought put into how your jeans hang. Really.

[@AdoreYourWardrobe]

And yet you clicked on the video and watched. I’m a fashion educator … what did you expect me to talk about?
