Skinny jeans aren’t my favorite, but I feel like the sheer fact that they aren’t creating a specific silhouette makes them the most timeless. They just follow the lines of your body, so it’s more about how your body is than the trends.

[@JB-tt6ct]

Also the only type of jeans that were replicated in a much more comfortable form of jeggings. Bless them.

[@edennis8578]

Except that skinny jeans don't look good on most women. If you have any hips at all, they give a peculiar inverted triangle effect. Even if you have very slim hips, unless you have tiny feet, the skinny at the ankle makes shoes look enormous by contrast. I just saw a video where the woman was showing outfits with skinny jeans, and her perfectly normal shoes looked like Frankenstein feet.

[@JB-tt6ct]

@@edennis8578 wow, i actually fit those 2 standards you gave. It's nice to show the only slimness you have. Can't really do much when you're a short apple with gigantic breast- it's either dumpy frumpy or red light district.

[@barbarablackman3742]

Right but if you are not Blessed with a gorgeous body or tall and lean well leave these on the shelves.

[@thegillmachine]

@@barbarablackman3742 I don’t necessarily agree. I love how skinny jeans look on shorter and curvier women as well. It’s not the same effect obviously but I feel like it can accent a petite frame in a way that points out how cute and small they are. Not everyone wants to go for the model skinny mile-long legs thing. My friend in my profile pic is shorter and curvier and she looks way better in skinny jeans than I do due to this.

[@LizRealGirlBeauty]

I loved this video! I refused to wear skinny jeans for so long, because I'm on the heavier side. Finally I gave them a try, now it's all I want to wear! This video made me see why- my legs are my thinnest place, so showing how thin they are makes me look longer! Thank you!

[@PetiteDressing]

Thanks for sharing, Liz! Glad you liked it!

[@greeshmagireesh3598]

Skinny jeans are my favourite. I have disproportionately smaller (heavier) torso and longer legs. So any flared/wide leg jeans I put on cuts me few cm above my ankle, showing the thinnest section of my legs. It looks really weird. Skinny jeans give the uniformity.

[@__Queen_of_Hearts__]

Honestly, I think they actually complement the most body types unlike other jeans. That's why I don't think they're a trend but more of a closet staple now.

My perfect jeans are straight leg with a higher rise or a skinny jean with a higher rise. I'm 5'2" and only wear a kitten heel or a platform of about 2" but that does make all the difference. Great video Chi.

Always great tips, I'm curvy and tried on skinny in store with my husband present he said they look illegal, he's funny. I only wear wide, flare, or straight. I always like watching your videos.

Thank you, Barbara!

[@lovemadeinjapan]

Yeah, spandex in jeans is illegal, so that makes skinny's illegal as well. Really hard to find spandex-free jeans. It kills the fit. Spandex jeans, even as little as 1%, keep growing and growing over time to never return to the original shape. Very annoying.

[@carinakeller2512]

The section of you having ‘a belly’ made me chuckle. You’re lightheartedness is appreciated 😆

[@sophialee2630]

I watched your entire video and I am happy to find out that I have been wearing the correct jeans for 44 years. When I was a teen I wore the boyfriend cut jeans for good reasons but no one understood why. I love wearing the subtle flared, bootcut, and straight most of the time. Occasionally slim and skinny because the jeans were a bargain and they fit perfectly. I know I should give up wearing the skinny eventually and I only been wearing them for two years because they are new to me, lol. 😆 I am a petite, inverted triangle with a slim build. I am an older woman and I love wearing jeans. Jeans are practical and they fit perfectly to my lifestyle. Thanks for the wonderful, informative video!

[@PetiteDressing]

You are so welcome! Thanks for sharing, Sophia!

[@clairewillow6475]

I was sad in 2008 when flare and bootleg jeans disappeared in favour for skinny. I’m so happy that skinny is out now and flare is back :) . I don’t mind mom jeans but I find them a bit boring unless they are distressed. Boyfriend and wide leg just don’t appeal to me. I like to wear my tops a bit baggier so if my pants are also baggy I end up having no shape. I love showing off my legs lol which is probably why flare/bootleg is my favourite. Skinny jeans also show them off but not in a flattering way imo. They make feet look huge lol and tall boots can fix that but those are out of fashion at the moment (they look dated to the 2010s)

[@missgiddyBB]

I’m pear-shaped and flared jeans/trousers are my absolute favorite things to wear!! I have very skinny calves too so it hides that part while balancing out my hips/butt with my legs.

[@plainvanilla12]

I finally went jeans-shopping (after many many years of refusing to wear jeans) after watching your video. I have thick thighs, short legs and an hourglass-shaped body that is not tall at all, which I thought were horrible for jeans. Especially when the low-rose skinny jeans were in style I was devastated at how awful they made me look (and feel). Now that mid to high-rise is back, I opted for that style with flared jeans and heels. Just as it’s prescribed here in this video. I think I look pretty decent 😅 Thank you for your tips!

[@PetiteDressing]

You are always welcome! Glad this video was helpful ❤️

I own skinny jeans , lately being pear shaped I think I might give them to the thrift store .I often get the gab in the back due to a sway back . Flares with sneakers I agree ,wide legs make me look stumpy . Bootcut and straight are my fave . Mom no way , Boyfriend yes xxx

[@uhiikd3208]

Im really uncomftorble with my hips, many people wish for an hourglass bod shape, but its honestly not worth the hype, i can never find jeans that fit on my waist but dont squeeze my hips!

[@lapetitepoire5]

I'm a petite pear shape with a short torso/rise and longish legs for my height (5'1" / 29" inseam). I prefer dark wash skinny jeans with an untucked top that hits at the high hip, because it elongates my torso and makes me look more balanced. Wider leg jeans, baggy jeans, or high rise jeans all just serve to make my lower half -- which is already so much bigger than my top half -- look even wider and bigger in comparison to my narrow shoulders and short, smaller upper half. I also find that boot cut or straight leg jeans, which we all wore like crazy in the 90s, are so hard to wear in winter because inevitably they drag on the ground, gaining salt and snow stains and getting soaked such that the hem gets ruined after less than a season. Skinnies are much easier to just tuck inside a pair of boots, which is much more practical year-round.

[@PetiteDressing]

Thanks for sharing, Petite Poire!

[@writteninstars]

I have the same figure as well as well! 5 feet with a 28 inch inseam.

[@writteninstars]

forgot to mention that I don't have a dragon issue; I purchase my jeans from AE or Hollister where they carry short inseams. I typically wear a short inseam in their wide legs and regular in their mom jeans

[@anishabehera6344]

For me, a pear shaped girl of height 5ft 5 inch, an off shoulder top tucked in with wide legged jeans look THE BEST otherwise, wide legged jeans just make bottom half look bulkier than my narrow shoulders🤷‍♀️

[@arijeanz]

my favorite jeans of ALL time are the Levis 724 cropped. i am 5'4, 115 lbs and skinny, hourglass with big hips and a long torso. they fall PERFECTLY at my ankle. they have an extremely square cut at the hips and waist, and i love it because it de-emphazises my curves/hips while still being a flattering high rise on my waist and butt. they do not gap on the back of my thighs, and the straight ish cut creates clean lines around the calf that make them feel like chinos or dressier pants. they are stretchy enough to be comfortable but stiff enough to be durable and still feel like actual jeans. if you are on the skinny side and want jeans that can be dressed up or down, and de-emphasize your curves while not making you look like a board, i would definitely try them out. i personally like to emulate an inverted triangle shape, because i lean more towards androgyny, but the 724s definitely can look feminine if you want them to, it all depends on your body and style. i just wanted a pair of jeans that helped me look taller and less curvy while not 'hiding' my butt or waist, and the 724s hit the spot.

[@PetiteDressing]

Thanks for sharing this! Please check out my blog for jeans that helped look taller and less curvy. blog.petitedressing.com/how-to-look-taller/

[@pinkktea]

Firstly I want to thank you because after trying so long to find my shape, I finally could with this video! I was torn between the inverted triangle and hourglass because even though I'm very balanced between my shoulders and hips, my shoulders are still sightly (like 2 cm, if i'm specific?) longer. The trouble of either waist or hips when it comes to finding the right jeans definitely sold me. And also, for the alternative recommendations! Everyone (specially my family) has always tried to make me wear tight things (mostly skinny jeans) because 'you have such a nice waist to hip ratio', but it just makes me extremely uncomfortable. Thank you so so much for the help!!

[@PetiteDressing]

Thank you, Vel! I really appreciate you taking the time to express that. ❤️

[@misanthr0pic]

i’m the same. but my shoulders are wide. but also it’s not like i have no hips. my measurements on a good day give me hourglass numbers (bust to waist to hip) but my shoulders are broad. i’m not a traditional triangle shape is all i’m saying. i have legs for days lol

[@KatieAJ]

Im also torn between hourglass and pear because I'm very proportionate but have a big derriere so some wold say im a bottom-heavy hourglass. Maybe you're a top-heavy hourglass like Monroe!

[@aleksandrawojnowska5054]

Omggg literally same ! I'm also a mix between ani inverted triangle and an hourglass, and all my life i used to wear skinny jeans because i was told so. That im too petite to be wearing anything else but Man, i really hate them. I feel like because they are so fitted at the bottom, they make my legs and hips look even smaller. Literally i have been shopping today, tried 14 pairs od different jeans, and felt the best in really light mom jeans. I just live them so much, this is literally my first pair of pants that arent skinny. Im so excited !!!

[@Atenana]

​@@aleksandrawojnowska5054 It's exactly the same for me, I wear mom jeans and straight leg pants (not exactly jeans) but they flow so much better and make my waist small! I recommend checking out the elegant long pants in reserved, I wear them with flat white laced shoes (like adidas or Gino Rossi) and I'm not going back to skinny jeans and small hips

[@liliexxchibi]

I think this is the first time I learn of the apple shape which is exactly my body type, and I am also short. Sometimes I get lost on what jeans to buy because of all the styles and trends. This really helps. Now I have a better idea what styles will fit me. Thanks a lot for this video!

[@jimmywarren01]

👍🏻 Great guide to follow! If they look good on you go on n wear em.. I’m a guy and was a former Abercrombie model in my early 20’s (ended up working as a manager in various states in my late 20’s/early 30’s). I was modeling baggy boot cut jeans and then years later when I was an employee and worked in stores I was straight in the skinny and super skinny jeans phase. I was all about this because the skinny jeans flatter my body the best..I’m one of those skinny lanky athlete types and was a basketball player from age 6 to 23. First step is to Wear what you think looks best on your body & look to this style guide here for your best look!..then go and buy multiple pairs of jeans!

[@RUT812]

I am an hourglass, which is a big problem when it comes to jeans. I wear bootcut or wider legged jeans. They’re flattering because my shoes are chunkier in style. The other reason I quit wearing skinny jeans is because I suffer from chronic pain due to osteoarthritis & I don’t want tight-fitting clothes. I wear clothes that skim my body & don’t require belts. I need high waisted pants.

[@heatherva]

I dont think skinny jeans always means tight

[@IsabeLLE_notLLA]

I’m pretty sure I have a pear body shape and it makes sense that my favorite type of jeans are wide leg jeans. I’m only 5’1” and adding heels gives the illusion of longer legs. I also use platform sneakers too to add height.

[@susanschreyer7654]

Although I can find them online, wide leg jeans (and really, anything other than skinny jeans) are impossible to locate where I live. I find online shopping to be a great alternative for that situation for most things, but jeans ... it seems so necessary to try a variety of brands and sizes to find a pair that fits since measurements (beyond inseam) aren't generally included on the web page. Although returns are easy, it still takes time -- lots of time (especially these days). Can you put together a video about the fit characteristics of different brands? That's a big ask, I'm sure, but I can't help but think I'm not the only one who would find it SO helpful!

[@phaneron]

I started buying men’s jeans since the sizing is consistent, they are similar to high or mid waist, and the fit is usually like straight leg 👌 for reference I’m pear shape, long waist/shorter legs/ thick hips/thigh.

[@babymac1379]

I have the same problem (I'm a pear shape so I don't generally trust that the hip and waist will both fit), but I've found more success buying on Poshmark. The items are used, but you can look for "new with tags" or things in excellent condition. I found it helpful, because I can ask for more specific measurements, including hip, waist, and rise and the sellers will measure for me so I can make a more informed decision and I'm much less likely to buy jeans that don't fit right.

[@phaneron]

@@babymac1379 have you had *regular* good luck with poshmark tho? I tried using specific measurements on both thred up and the real real, and they were both always wrong and I had to send pretty much everything back 😭

[@babymac1379]

@@phaneron I have actually! I have done a little shopping on thredup, but found that their measurements weren't detailed enough for me so I don't do much shopping on there anymore. I actually just bought shorts off poshmark (a first time online purchase for me because I always felt I wouldn't be able to successfully get a pair that would fit both my waist and hip) and they are currently my best fitting shorts and I am super happy about that purchase. I do think some care needs to be taken though. If I don't see all the measurements I want to know, then I'll message the shop owner and ask them to provide more. I also like it even better when they post pictures showing the measuring tape on the garment so I can see more clearly where they took the measurements. If the seller isn't willing to help and provide that information, I don't buy the item; luckily, there's no shortage of jean shorts (or whatever I'm looking for) and I try to take my time and not rush too much.

I also recently bought a pair of high waist straight leg jeans from Fashion Nova and OMGoodness!! They make your Bum look incredible! I'm not sure who makes their jeans but straight leg jeans make you look more proportional in a way.

I clicked on this video randomly and you're so right about Madewell and American Eagle being the most accommodating for hourglass shape. I'm 5 foot 6 inches and hourglass and the gapping in the back is the most disappointing part of trying on jeans. My waist is considerably smaller than my lower half even though I'm only a size 4 normally. A size 6 is too big for my waist but fits my butt perfectly and it's just so annoying. Especially if the jeans have no stretch in them. My mom is pear-shaped and she hasn't worn non-stretchy denim in forever because of this. She carries her weight in her hips, butt, and thighs no matter her weight. I didn't wear American Eagle until a couple of years ago and they also have different leg lengths which is so great! My legs are maybe 3-4 inches longer than "regular" jeans, but they have "tall" and "short" as well in the same styles. It makes such a huge difference for so many body types. I think height is often forgotten in girl's and women's clothing, so we then have to wear specific shoes because pants are either way too long or too short.

[@134679jen]

You are awesome! Thx so much for your videos. I'm not skinny like you, but I am short. I love your videos about jeans and the one that you give hints on how to cover a tummy- peplum shirts were one of the recommendations. Thx a bunch!!!!

[@PetiteDressing]

Thank you, I am happy to hear you feel that way ❤️

[@renee3676]

I'm a apple shape my favorite is boot cut and skinny on me other things to me is not flattering on me I'm also plus size

[@leeannlowery5064]

Thanks for the information on the best jeans for each body shape. Since I listen to your videos while I’m putting on makeup snd getting ready, I often miss your transition slides - I only hear silence so I don’t know what the subject has changed to. I would appreciate you speaking what is written on the slide so I can still follow you while listening. Other than that, I enjoy your information and your sense of humor. Thank you!

Gosh I wish that skinny jeans were the hottest trend again (like between the late 2000s to the mid 2010s). I remember how flattering I looked in my young adult days with a dark wash skinny jean and a pair of black leather boots over it. Nowadays with mom jeans back in style I feel like I’m old for still wearing skinny jeans.

[@erinyes3943]

Nah man don’t worry there’s still plenty of skinny jeans. As long as it makes you feel good, go for the fit! Wear what you wanna wear

I'm the pretty controversial one LOL I'm a skinny petite hourglass, so my BWH ratio elongates up into my shoulders. I have a long torso, 34-35 inch hips to my 24 inch waist, and I'm only 159cm. By all accounts, low rise skinny jeans should be the thing I avoid. Except... The look I'm going for is definitely the shock value of my sexiness. I go full 2000s with the tiny midriff showing tight baby crops and the low rise skinnies. It's absolutely a call towards overt sexiness which is why I love it. And I think this is where dressing for your body is also about confidence as much as it is about tips. As you said, even pears and hourglasses can wear jeans "inappropriate" if you're deliberately trying to call attention to your figure, but many tips you give are for when you want to tone it down for more flattering and chic styles. Both require a lot of self love, confidence and enjoyment of fashion itself :) These videos are great tips for when I have to be appropriate instead of shocking!

[@Kingdomsrose]

I love straight leg/mom jeans on me. I notice that mid rise jeans look best on me for some reason lol I'm a plus size hourglass I assume lol whenever I wear jeans I have a gap at my waist. I have to use like string to tie it in the back lol

[@Stanfordk08]

Great video!

[@marimoteatime5144]

Hi Chi! Love your videos. Could you do a video about brand recommendation for petite and shirt legs? Thank you!

[@cindys2995]

I have a couple of boyfriend jeans and I HATE them. I am 5'5 and VERY pear shaped - big butt, wide hips, and a smaller waist, lol. The boyfriend jeans never fully come up on my body and make me look shrunk or frumpy. I love wide leg or boot cut jeans, but often find them to be too long.

[@pippinhill7650]

You get everything right! Great content

[@jenn1fermeyer468]

No one makes classic straight legs , when you slim with strong legs jeans are sheer hel. Wide legs are over wide , bootlegs for taller people are short and unflattering , want to go to Lot 1 and make them make it 🥰 perfect

[@MsTtrimble]

I just love you you are my favorite petite advisor!! Best to your new adventure🥰👍👍👍

Happy to help!

You have the most wonderful personality.

[@annasolovyeva1013]

I have eight-shaped body, i prefer skinny, slim, straight, mom. Pretty anything fits but middle or high rise. I don't wear heels a lot, and definitely don't pair them with jeans, and i don't like how bulkier wide jeans and boyfriends look on me. As for skinny - I prefer them extra high-rise, with kind of a corset at the waist, and would rather pair them with something voluminous for the top, like a wide shirt tuck inside the high waist.

[@PetiteDressing]

Thanks for sharing, Anna!

Nghe xong bài này cái thấy tâm trạng buồn và nặng nề kinh khủng. Nhưng lại cứ phải replay hoài cả ngày😍

[@anastasiia1683]

I have a pear shape and the most enraging problem is: all pairs of jeans I had so far constantly fell down and I had to pull them up. Hight rise didn't help me at this point because the size which allowed me to fit my tights was big for my waist, if it was good for my waist they were unwearable for my tights. That was until I tried loose fit with one size smaller than the one I usually buy. And they fit me perfectly (not all the models but I was able too choose). The only sad point left here is that I like skinny jeans especially with boots. :( And I've never found any pair of them with an elastic at the back. Yeah, regular and boot cut look great on this type of figure but they too fall down.T_T

[@PetiteDressing]

Thank you for sharing this, Anastasiia!

[@elizabethgilson6051]

All I wear is boot cut jeans. I also mostly only wear cowboy boots and flats

[@pandora.z]

No when you have a butt thats not necessarily small skinny jeans smash anything thats there and same thing with thighs and calf's and when you have theighs that touch half time I can't wear skinny jeans cause if I bend down and aren't carful enough they will rip at the theighs

[@coconutrum1]

Great video, I love your style! I’ll be keeping these tips in mind next time I go shopping! 😍😊

Hi,ma'am! This vedio is very helpful to me.But I have bow legs and I don't know which jean pants really suit me.Can you do a jean pant video for bow legs?

[@stimela1000]

I'm 5'2 and a pear shape. I've always preferred bootcut jeans, and now I know that's the perfect choice. Skinny jeans just don't work on me, so I've had so much trouble finding jeans that look good on me for a long time now. Every shop just stocks skinny, extra skinny, super skinny, but when I try them on I just bulge in all the wrong places and they bunch up at the knees as well. I still haven't solved the problem of jeans that fit both my hips and waist though.

What jeans work for a tall, thin figure? Didn't seem to find this body type in the video. Is there a time stamp?
