Testing Jeans As A Petite | AGOLDE Try-On & Review

[@emilystevens2016]

Please do other brands as well! 😊 we are extremely similar in body type, so it is very helpful to see these videos before I buy something!

[@bethanyleonardo]

Will do!

Lovely Torres G amen 🙏🏻

[@talb0807]

It's so annoying that Agolde does not have sizing charts on their website. I emailed them about sizing info for some of the jeans. Let's see if they get back to me :) I would love to see Levi's next!

[@vanessa7397]

Yes would love to see you try Levi’s!

[@annashipilova5327]

Ribcage jeans!!!

[@daniellecox6534]

Here’s my theory with Agolde, the 90s fit jean is actually meant to be very loose like the grunge Nirvana era, which means technically you’re supposed to size up 1-2 sizes so that they are baggy at the crotch and cling to your hips so that you could see your Calvin Klein underwear lol. But because most girls have hips and of course nowadays we like things snug at the waist it makes getting these jeans to fit very tricky. If your hips are wider than your waist you either need to decide if you want these to fit grungy and loose or high and snug. And either you’ll have to go two sizes down or two sizes up depending on the look you want. But if your waist to hip ratio isn’t that big then these will fit you much more easily. Hope that helps ❤️

[@talb0807]

@@daniellecox6534 thank you so much! This is super helpful!

[@skyedots]

Danielle Cox I agree, those jeans are just huge. My waist is 25-26, got them a 25 without doing research and they were about 4 inches too big. Got a 24, and they fit just as big. I think if I have gotten a 23, they would still be too big. I was so bummed until I tried putting them in the dryer on high to see if they would shrink. Luckily they did but the waist is just very slightly big, cant wear them with my ab skin showing or you'll be able to tell. I dont understand how they look so snug on this girl, she looks about as skinny as me. They were definitely designed to wear around the hips, having the crotch baggy and length longer as well so they can bag up. But they are amazing.. theyre so soft and comfortable!!

[@shempi04]

Would love to see reviews on everlane jeans + & other stories!

[@bethanyleonardo]

Noted! 🤗

[@colemairi]

@@bethanyleonardo I agree! I loved this! We have nearly the same measurements. I'd love to also see Madewell Curvy & Everlane Curvy styles before taking a leap. Seeking everyday staple denim to quickly pull minimal outfits together, but flattering! It can be a challenge to find the perfect go to's for us pear-shaped, petite gals! Love your channel :)

[@notasdemy]

Great, great series!! My favorite one so far as a jean enthusiastic and fellow petit/thin woman. You made my day. I'd like to have you review jeans from Anine Bing, Re/Done, Citizens of Humanity, Frame, Levi's or any other brand you can/want. Thanks for this! Seriously.

[@bethanyleonardo]

Great suggestions! 💕

[@9Fashionista411]

You are a saint for all the curvy/pear shaped petite ladies in the world!! It’s soooo hard for me to find jeans that fit so I’m happy you posted this :D

[@mariawelling4194]

My gosh you have the cutiest shape..everything looks great on you.. Glad to see you posting again, you're the best!

[@amandaberezenko6510]

Keep the Riley’s!! I have a 13 inch difference between my waist and my hips, and I own several Riley’s. Buy them a size up and get them tailored at the waist, they are a dream and look so good on you!!

[@rosepetals3097]

I am also a pear shape the struggle is real when It comes to pants so I choose High waits pants

[@renatamarsha]

Me too 🙌🏼

[@charlenachalice]

I love this series! Jeans are one of the hardest items to pin down for a classic wardrobe piece. It's nice to finally see a petite person providing options! Thank you!

[@tminus21]

i FINALLY found someone who has the same body type and height as me (5"0 with longer torso) BUYING JEANS HAS BEEN AN AWFUL EXPERIENCE AND IM SO GLAD I FOUND THIS VIDEO thank you Bethany so so so so much

[@videshmedesilife]

Hey Bethany, I would love to see how you organize your wardrobe and store your off-seasonal clothing. Can you please make a video about that.

[@merizita]

Oh men, the struggle of girls with hips. Always trying to find the perfect jeans... Loved the video!

[@subadraw5721]

True 😕

[@MMMMD1]

Try Abercrombie jeans in ‘curve love’

[@sofiaguerrero0969]

As a girl with no hips, think of yours as a blessing! 🥲

[@merizita]

@@sofiaguerrero0969 We are all perfection! ♥

[@jessicay7120]

I’ve heard that AGOLDE jeans run big and also the 100% cotton stretches quite a bit so you’d want to get them in a very tight fit !

[@Likelymeesk]

I understand the struggle, we have very similar bodies and height and it’s so difficult to have a good idea of what something would look like on me while watching the average style KZbin channel. Thank you so much

[@lisabailey6605]

These jeans look so amazing on you. Best jeans I’ve ever seen you try on. They all accent your shape perfectly.

[@fernedwards3972]

I feel you! Jean shopping is so hard. Finding jeans that fit my butt and hips always gape at the bottom of my back unless they're stretch jeans. And being a petite, the back pockets usually sit in a strange position which makes things look "droopy"! The search continues...

[@kestiameshad]

The struggle is real. I'm 5'1" and pear shaped as well. My thighs and calves are on the bigger side so personally, anything with elastane in them is godsend. These jeans look really fantastic on you! Love this sort of videos... I really like your classic monochrome style. All this time I've been wearing a whole lot of black, but since I watched your videos, I've added a few beige and browns as well. They're just so versatile.

[@sarahyoungchau4172]

Would love to see you do more of these! I’m almost the exact same measurements as you and have such a hard time finding jeans 😭 seeing you test at more brands would be a huge help!

[@ayrin674]

I loved the video very informative also . I love the fact that you pay a lot of attention to quality of the fabric .however most fabrics are quite difficult to be taken care of which is why I’d would love to see a video of you maybe explaining how you take care of your clothes (especially washing cashmere sweaters, silk blouses , stretchy jeans etc ) . Lots of love ! 💕

[@CiaoColeG]

I am so glad that I found you! I wear a 4-6 in most pants and I'm also 5'1" with a 10.5" waist to hip difference, but my torso is shorter than my legs. This is soooo helpful!!!!

[@Bubuddin]

The timing of this video is so perfect, I have been on the hunt for the perfect fitting jean and I have a similar body shape 😄

[@reshmihundal6180]

Hi Bethany, I’m not someone who ever makes public comments, but I am so excited that you’re venturing into other brands. It just gives your followers and viewers a wider selection of designers to choose from. I loved the jeans by Agolde on you, and because I’m a petit and pear shaped, I will definitely try this brand. ❤️ Can you also do a try on haul for Mother Jeans, AG, Girlfriend and Citizen of Humanity? It just makes my day to watch your hauls. ❤️❤️

[@DansonforJoy]

The diagonal zipper is SO interesting, but I agree - it doesn’t quite look intentional. I think a diagonal closure with buttons, a high rise, and belt loops in the right place would look charming.

[@bethanyleonardo]

Totally agree 🤗

[@marilynjstrilchuk2595]

I am also 5'1" with a long torso and shorter legs. I like to get a straight leg in a dark wash with a mid-rise and 2% lycra in a petite size. I have found a classic cut called the "Marilyn" style in NYDJ and French Dressing (Canadian brand) to be very flattering. This style won a contest a few years ago as the most flattering jean for a wide variety of body types. Classic Levis are also a favorite of mine. Also, a longer length that goes over my ankle booties are necessary for colder weather. Good luck in your search!

[@alkminipap]

Please do this with more brands!! I am 68 cm x 93 cm so very similar! I almost always have the problem you have with the first trousers where for the hips to fit, the waist is free floating and I hate that! I used to tailor them but I have decided not to do that anymore and look for brand that really accommodate my body type because I find it infuriating how many brands make jeans just for stick bodies. I have found some jeans that truly fit me since then! Last point, it would be really helpful if you could also film a small part with the jeans rolled up to your ankle, since you can't shorten them for now. This way we get also an idea how they would look shorter! Thanks for doing this! You are definitely the only KZbinr that inspired me to work on my wardrobe and my style and I think it makes a difference!!! Keep it up

[@ilonaleclerclifeinusa]

I am excited to watch video! I prefer to do shopping in stores, I don’t really like buying online. So I am looking forward when I finally will be able to do it )) Thank you for inspiration ❤️

[@jonelljonelljonell]

Been really curious about Agolde and really appreciate how professional and to the point your review is!

[@diannayoga]

Yes please keep sharing about jeans and different brands! I’m currently seeking out the same, a great pair that fits my body. Maybe you could include different price points as well? Thank you so much for doing this video.

[@lanadominguez3469]

I’m 5’2” and pear shaped and I’ve found that only jeans marketed as “curvy” & “petite” are even worth trying on now. My favorite jeans right now are the Madewell Curvy High Rise & American Eagle Curvy Mom Jean. The Madewell comes in petite and I just cuff the other. Hope this helps someone in need!

[@laurie.b]

Thanks Bethany! This video was so helpful especially at the moment when we can't go out to shops to physical try on things before purchasing. I'm finding your videos so motivational to make me get dressed up for working from home and look nice for myself even though I'm inside all day. Hope you and you family are all staying safe and well.

[@tfnvv5469]

I’m 24, 4’8” (so super petite), in between size 0/00/23”/24” waist (I’m around 23.5” waist), with a 24” inseam. I finally splurged on some 27” inseam Rag & Bone ankle skinny jeans in the color Ellerly for $97 (sale price). I find that 26-27” inseam jeans work for me (perfectly full-length on me) and once actually on me, they fit my 24” inseam without bunching up at all at the bottom. I picked my Rag&Bone jeans because they fit my criteria of being at least 9.75” high rise/high waisted jeans and 100% Japanese denim (composition: 98% cotton, 2% polyurethane). I love structured denim jeans - it’s a lil bit tougher but later become super worn in and soft on me, compared to a Turkish or Japanese stretch denim (or comfy jegging) that over time bag out and lose its shape. I’ve been looking into AGOLDE 90’s jeans, Paige Hoxtons, Mother Denim, Joe’s Jeans, and Boyish jeans. I’ll def check out these picks! Is anyone else super petite like me - any jean recs?

[@lucylu3056]

Love this type of analysis videos, making it easier to understand why something works and some don't. Thanks Bethany!

[@dianekarolyn]

Found you this week! I’m also 5’1 and pear-shaped! (waist 26, hips 39) I started a “finding my style” journey recently so I’m binging your entire channel. Thank you for all your guidance and honesty! you’re the best 🥰❤️

[@rainikirra]

Hey Bethany, please do a Levi’s review for your body type. I think it would be sooo helpful for myself and so many people. Thanks 🌻

[@rainikirra]

Oh, and of course Everlane as well! Thanks again and have a great weekend.

[@pearlmonson3623]

The jeans with the holes in them look AMAZING on your body. I can hardly tell you’re a pear! Your upper half and lower half look so pleasing and symmetrical. Love love! Plus you NEVER style ripped denim. Ripped denim is so beautiful 😻 Love! It’s a hint of edge paired with your classic sophisticated look is a beautiful juxtaposition. Do it do it

[@nicolebelm]

thank you so much for posting this! i was really on the fence about getting the riley jeans because i had no idea how they would fit me (i'm roughly the height and build as you) and now i know i NEED them. also your detail about the fit for each pair is everything! i'd love to see you do more try-on reviews in the future :)

[@nabanitaghosh3282]

You are just awesome. I have been looking for all the old videos.

[@DansonforJoy]

Thank you for sharing your process in choosing clothing intentionally. 👍 Always so lovely to see you, Bethany! 😊 Hope you’re doing well!

[@bethanyleonardo]

You too, Jesse!

[@nanaa1764]

Pro tip : if you want to get the waist to be less tight, just wear the jeans dry and dampen the waist and wear them like this until the jeans are dry. It will mold to your shape

[@rajamjoshi2326]

Where did you learn this trick? It's cool...

[@4Distractiononly]

A little stretch is very flattering on you really. I like rigid denim too but there's something to be said about comfort.

[@roannasilveira6397]

I need just a little bit of stretch in my jeans because I use them so much and I need them to be comfy! I always tailor my jeans myself - taking in the waist or bringing up the hem; it's really easy!

[@stefanieedelhardt5745]

You should totally try the Monki Taiki jeans! They are perfectly high waisted, roomy in the thighs but still narrow in the waist! I'm the exact bodyshape as you, just 10 cm taller. Also the Weekday Lash jeans are the same style! They are amazing

[@joeyl695]

Love to see you try Boyish. They have another criss cross style that has a different fit.

[@Aileenwasright]

Just discovered your channel and omg you are a godsend. Your reviews are so thorough and helpful. Finding jeans that fit for women with a 10+ waist to hip difference is a constant struggle with online shopping. And thank you for timestamping.

[@vampiresca]

Please do more videos about this and other brands! The struggle for trousers as a petite is real :( Much love x

[@jtangqt]

i also tried agolde 90s jean and they're so comfortable! but yea i had weird fitting issues with them too so next time i'll definitely size down like you did :)

[@leapthroughtime]

LOVE this style of video Bethany!! also really appreciate the transparency of ur measurements bc it really helps (realized we're almost the exact same!) & have the same struggles when shopping for bottoms

[@shorty06111]

I do love the 90s and the criss cross. I have a few pairs and I find those styles look great on athletic body types. These pairs are like the only 100% cotton jeans that suit me.

i have a very similar height/body type to you and it's been IMPOSSIBLE to find truly high waisted jeans that hit me at my belly button due to my proportions. so please by all means cover other brands as well when you get the chance! i'm still on the hunt for that perfect pair of jeans!

[@sml-202]

I think the gut reaction you’re having with the Remy jeans is because of the pockets. Since you are pear shaped and a bit wider in the hips, pockets that are too far apart might be making them unflattering... or at least, that’s something I pay attention to with my hourglass shape as well.. btw: I love your videos!! So glad to have your incredible content to watch during this quarantine :)

[@kiwicrush24]

The Riley’s are the most popular and flattering fit followed by the 90’s loose fit. The Riley’s stretch out a ton with wear. They start out really snug at first and then loosen up significantly. I ordered my normal size and immediately regretted not getting one size down, so I ordered a different wash in a size down.

[@bethanyleonardo]

Even their 100% cotton Riley's? Pairs without any elastane?

[@kiwicrush24]

Dearly Bethany Yes the one I have is 100% cotton.100% cotton jeans tend to stretch out over time so many recommend to order one size down.

The last pair is looks SO beautiful on you!! As they have no stretch they will open a bit as you wear them!!! It's a pity to give them up!

[@angelac.almuete8312]

you have to try their cropped versions! the Riley is great and I wish you kept them! With 100% cotton I always suggest always sizing down because the jeans do stretch and "wear-in" overtime. I was hoping that the Ren jean was going to be reviewed since I just ordered a pair to try. :)

i have very similar measurements to you, same height and 11in difference between my waist and hips. out of all the jeans i have ever tried, the best fitting ones have been 2nd hand, high waisted straight-ish cut, very comfortable 100% cotton, from the late 80s or early 90s. i find that pants from those years tend to be more curved/tailored. in australia and asia, bottoms these days are very straight, and if they fit at the hips theyre way to big at the waist.
