You make me feel like maybe I am more normal! You own so many beautiful pieces of clothing! Yay! I feel I am a collector, I have not been able to find clothing in my size most of my life. To be able to purchase fitting clothing is so amazing I buy or collect what I like and that fits. It seems obsessive, I am learning the styling methods and hope to be pairing down purchases to an amount that is useable (LOL). Thanks for all your terrific tips and tricks

You are correct. Fit on the butt is critical. Too many pairs of my jeans hang under my butt. And I look dumpy. My jeans wardrobe needs some attention.

I’m 5’2. I’m also 63. I have designer & regular jeans that I’ve had for years. The favorites that used to fit my body like a glove-don’t anymore because as we age, our bodies change. Nothing to be done about it except 😢! I’ve found that 7 for Mankind fit me really well now in this old, new body. I’m considering taking my collection to my alterations lady.

@sabrinaleclabart7311 2 года назад

I feel like it's less about the brand and more about the material that your jeans are made off that will make or break them in the long term. I noticed that jeans that are 100 percent cotton tend to retain their shape better and last way longer whereas jeans made with more elastane and polyester tends to be thinner and stretch a lot more and get deformed as you wear them.

For petite and women with a small waist:hips ratio - try on Colombian jeans. I did and I never went back. I found a store called “New Body Couture” in LA (I bought them online bc I live in the other coast. Thank me later! They carry like 7 different brands, but I’m sure that there are more stores like that one.

I live in rural New York State and the biggest department store is Macy's, so I always go there. I had NO idea that jeans can COST SO MUCH! The local Macy's sells "cheap jeans", I guess. I now have a better idea why some jean styles fit me better than others. But I am curious to try on a pair of those expensive jeans for comparison of fit and manufacture, even if I don't buy then.

GAP & BR bootcut and flare fit on me like designer jeans on you. I'm 5'6" though (size 26R/27R) - maybe they are not that great for petite. I'm not impressed with JCrew. My favorite jeans brand is Lucky Brand - I buy the more expensive jeans when they are on sale of course. In Lucky Brand I'm always 26...I had only 2 pairs of designer jeans - they looked super great. Not impressed with how they looked after I washed them (hand washed in cold water and hung to dry).

@user-qx3vv3lw1p Год назад

I like everything about your video snd the advice you give, but I have a question: why are all this jeans you are wearing little too short on you? Especially the flair jeans look too short. I think they need cover you shew and be much longer to elongate your legs..?

@phyllismorris94 2 года назад

I have given up finding jeans that fit correctly in the waist, rise, hips, butt and length, which are not too expensive over $49. I am petite. I need high rise in front to go over belly button. But, then the crotch comes down too low. I am perfectly willing to shorten them myself if they fit well. I need size 8 in the waist. But my hips & butt are smaller.

I have a question. I live in Toronto, Canada. We have VERY limited choices of petite brands. Most of them are online only. Honestly, I thought BR was a designer brand because their jeans are like 180-200 a pop. What designer brands in Canada would you suggest? I had 2 kids and realized that all my clothes are from my 20s that are too small and inappropriate since I’m almost in my 40s. Help!

You can try straight leg or wide leg and only tight on the hips.

@angakingtutube 2 года назад

I'm loving everything that I've learned from your videos, but I'd have to differ with you on these jeans at time stamp 3:10. I think, the back pockets are too low which make the body look "longer" and the legs "shorter." I avoid these kinds of pants/jeans. Not flattering for short people of any age/size.

You asked, "why not cheap jeans?". Well, if you don't want to be funding child slave labour, inhumane working conditions , women getting sexually abused, toxic pollutants going into the only water sources in poverty stricken communities near factories causing residents to get very ill and diseases, ruining the environment in every way, then may be not. Please stop promoting 'fast fashion' as a helpful, good option. I think those issues are much more important to consider than just how cute they make your butt look. Please find He documentary ' The True Cost' online and learn about the destructive ( in every way) business of 'fast fashion' brands. I'm fine with giving helpful dressing tips...but that can be done without promoting such destructive brands. I hope to see you learning and educating yourself about the fast fashion industry and make your channel work for the good of others and not harm. No judgement, just hope you are open to becoming more aware of social, environmental and ethical issues you are contributing to in a negative way.
