How to find jeans that fit? What are the perfect jeans for your body type?
In this video I explain what to pay attention to when shopping for jeans (waist, hips, thighs, length...), which type of jeans work for which body type and what to do if you can't find any pair of jeans that fit you.
This try-on video is not sponsored by Levi's.
Though Levi's, if you read this, let's design a capsule collection together. Call me? :-)
Thumbs up if you liked this video!
New videos: Wednesday 4pm & Sunday 12pm (Paris/Berlin time).
Take care!
Justine

Justine Leconte officiel Hi Justine. Really love your videos. I am 38yrs and trying to stop wearing jeans. Really would like some sugestion on how to replace jeans trousers on my wardrobe. Thank you very much.

@MrsAlchemist 7 лет назад

Justine Leconte officiel Your videos are really entertaining and helpfull, Justine! I always smile instantly if I see a new one. 😍 I know I'm not the only woman with a belly-bigger-than-hips and I don't find normal jeans! I have to wear maternity jeans but the good ones are more expensive 😳 Also I can't have a tight jeans directly on my belly. Have you ANY suggestions for such a Problem? (i'm a European size 42/44)

@dorymbasd 7 лет назад

Greetings. In addition to fit, a discussion on denim material would also be useful since it affects the fit, look, and wear.

@kittymetal186 7 лет назад

Hi, I have the same problem. I once got Gap maternity jeans (!) but now I get jean jeggings. They are not leggings - they are denim but they have wide band fitted elastic at the waist. No zipper, which I prefer - I don't need anything else making my stomach look bigger! These leggings are very flattering. You just can't tuck in a top because the elastic would show. I get them here in England from Marks & Spencer. They are not expensive but are excellent quality. Sorry to write so much! (Great video Justine, thank you.)

@ultravioletspirit 7 лет назад

Justine Leconte officiel I only use J brand or Madewell jeans don't like any other..i dislike low waist, I am tall and my crotch is long!

@borculo1 7 лет назад

I read somewhere. 'If you doubt, immediately after you put on the jeans whether they are the right fit, they are not'. I think it is very true!

@justineleconte 7 лет назад

+Caroline Y yes. And comfort doesn't "come with time". If it is too tight (especially around the thighs), it is too tight, period. 😁

@GApeech08 7 лет назад

Justine Leconte officiel, Absolutely! I just gave a pair of straight leg Old Navy jeans to my niece. I wore them one day, and they were still tight and uncomfortable on my thighs by the end of the day. The lighter wash even made my thighs look huge. On the other hand, I would never part with my dark wash straight leg Levi's.

Vibha B : Yes, isn't she great. If she's still in France, I hope she's establishing opportunities in Asia; the part of the world that most appreciates AND can afford to pay her to keep herself in the style to which she either is, or will be, accustomed. I note that Singapore has opened its SECOND lycée, so large is the French community there now.

@missyoneill8721 7 лет назад

Jenny Penny Same here!!!! "Hi everyone, It's Justine!" .....and I know to look up, from my desk, and pay attention! Justine's wide range of topics, are always "tres, tres, informative," up-to-date, fun, and she is the REAL DEAL. Never pretentious, just a great teacher, inspiring speaker/educator, and motivating. Sometimes I feel really guilty when I am jumping from RU-vid video to RU-vid video, --wasting time --but when I tune in to her videos, it is time well spent, I feel as if I am really gaining excellent information that I can actually use in my every day life. I love her format how she gets right to the point, in the first five seconds and, I particularly loved her video on who to watch or follow I guess, on Instagram. I have two daughters both out of college, and I do not use the apps the way young people do, but I do have an Instagram account and the suggestions she made on that particular video were really great!

Very good! Just saying that ladies like me, that need to lose tummy weight, feel much more comfortable in high-waisted jeans so we can tuck in the muffin-top rather than have it spilling out!

@amasion2882 4 года назад

I’m short waisted with a tummy and “dip hips.” I NEVER wore jeans that fit comfortably and flattered my figure until high rise jeans and pants became fashionable. Mid rise styles always “bite into” my waist and are slack and sloppy in the lower hip/thigh. They looked unattractive but were also extremely uncomfortable to wear. No “fashion/style advice” works perfectly for everyone.

@crazytidy2426 4 года назад

A Masion I have a tummy and hip dips too, but even high rise jeans are uncomfortable for me. Like it will be too right for me to breathe and my waist is so high up that it’s right under my boobs. I’m honestly considering quitting jeans cause of this.

@Rachel-lq9vl 4 года назад

@@amasion2882 I kinda feel you, high waisted jeans are the way to go, though I have more of an hourglass type over anything

@jessicaellina3878 3 года назад

I know that this is an old video ( just found it!) But l think that low waisted jeans have been out of style for quite a while... thank goodness for those of us with " tums".... so uncomfortable!!

@koco_k_sassa2782 5 лет назад

Ur forgot to mention rear pockets placement. Fast fashion especially cheap jeans place large rear pockets low which makes ur butt look saggy. This can be seen at any mall in the US.

I think my bum looks saggy when the pockets are too high, I think this is an individual thing.

@florencecousin5577 7 лет назад

Yes, but if your size is an European 50, you are pear-shaped with a quite big belly, it is impossible to find jeans that fit. When I was a bit younger and thinner, I could by a pair and have it reworked at the waist (always to large at the back). But now, I can find a pair of jeans any more... the only jeans I find contains too much stretch, almost only a lot of synthetic fiber, they don't last, and are inconfortable.

@Dan_Chiron 7 лет назад

Florence Cousin I totally understand you. I changed size a few years ago and nothing seemed to fit me... until I stopped searching at the same places and brands I used to. Levi's, for example has plus sizes with a lot of different shapes and fits. I think Justine's advices really apply for all figures, you just have to be patient and try on a loooot of pants ;)

@adriabanks240 7 лет назад

A good rule of thumb, with a caveat: Surgery can affect fat distribution beneath the skin by creating 'breaks' where incisions lie and altering the shape. I say this because I have had cesarean section surgery and my lower abdomen now has a sharp crease, resulting in my stomach folding over itself, adding girth to my lower stomach and affecting how my undergarments lie on my body, which also impacts the fit of my clothing. While my upper body and thighs haven't changed, pregnancy and surgery have altered the shape of my lower torso significantly. I am effectively a near-apple, though before I was a busty rectangle.

@TheBurrowByTheCreek 4 года назад

You have completely destroyed for me the myth about sizing and made me understand the disparity among brands sizes and the way factories differ in the way they make the clothes. I cannot thank you enough, something valuable to teach my little girls, because of you they will never be focused on a particular size but to a fit. What a gift, Justine!!❤️

@christinegallo4983 5 лет назад

I have a rectangular body, and I love the classic “Mom jeans,” and even took it to another level with one pair, I dug out a pair of my mom’s jeans from when she was in high school, and they fit beautifully. They’re the classic Zena jeans, and the denim is much thicker than anything I’ve ever seen in a store, and they feel much more durable

@NatuNuarat 7 лет назад

Thank you for this explanation. Could you please make a tutorial on how to determine denim's quality? I have weird experiences with super cheap Pimkie jeans lasting for over 7 years, and $150 Lee getting torn in a year. As well as other way around. I also suspect expensive jeans to be fake sometimes, and have no idea how to determine it. Thank you for all your videos, they're very useful 😊

@julijakeit 7 лет назад

Natu, famous brands can hardly guarantee quality these days. Look at the seems - the smaller the sewing print of the seams the better, best of all - seems look invisible unless that is intentional style and they look robust. I bike a lot and have to make sure the color will not fade around my bum, so I slightly scratch the material. I had seen Guess jeans for 200 $ that died my finger nails instantly. Some brands now warn people about extra care their clothing need. Check how flexible the material is itself, especially at the knees as poor quality material will expand around the knees and make pants look years older. Like you, I own a pair of jeans I bought still at college from 2nd hand and they are still my fav winter jeans.

@c1re5an 7 лет назад

julijakeit I never thought about scratching it, I'll try it next time. I found my perfect jeans in Calzedonia two summers ago (jogging with a perfect fit and very elastic, but with a sturdy look) and I got them in 4different colors, as backups, in case they only lasted me a year. But so far the first 2 ones are going strong. I'll do this scratching test on them!

@luticia 7 лет назад

In my opinion the most awful quality you can get is if you buy a pair of Pepe jeans. At least here in Germany.

@bluebobbyjack 7 лет назад

Levi's used to be good but idk anymore

@luticia 7 лет назад

@Winnie The Pooh I know, that's true. But isn't it for all the things during these times? I think, yes, it is. But, I've got to admit, Levi's 711 is REALLY good! At least here in Germany. I'm a huge fan of 711. Both quality and fit are awesome! Love it.

@kristasolovjova1125 7 лет назад

@julesbjeweled7891 7 лет назад

Ingrid Morbid. Not only do you need to be properly fitted (I have it done once a year) you need to try the bra on either at the store or at home (keep tags on) and then pull on a blouse where the fabric shows everything. I have quite a few solid lace bras but omg they look terrible when wearing a slinky t-shirt or sweater over them. I made sure to buy 3 t-shirt bras (3 different colors) just for that purpose. Learning how to figure out your size is actually quite easy, I've forgotten how exactly since I don't do it myself, but you need a flexible tape measure. It's something similar to this. You measure just under the bust to get the size (32,34,36,etc) and then measure around the fullest part of the bust. Each inch after the 1st measurement you took is the cup size. That's the part where I can't remember the exact sizes? Personally I prefer a dept store with a well trained staff as they know which bras run bigger or smaller and what would look/work best for you/me. Good luck!

@temperateortropical161 7 лет назад

Baileygirl Smith : Yes, absolutely spot on, on all points.

$@fractalcat3696$

@fractalcat3696 7 лет назад

I hear people complain all the time that fashion is catered to tall, thin women. As one myself, I don't understand this complaint at all! I always have so much trouble finding jeans that fit me in length and at the waist. If the waist fits, they're too short, or if they're long enough, the waist is super big. It's like brands think that as you get taller, everything else gets bigger too. That's not always true!!

@lorib5323 5 лет назад

I am 5' 11" and I have just accepted that I have to buy clothes a size bigger and then have it tailored. Happy that more retailers are carrying Talls. I am not getting a bigger size because I am fat, but I am longer all over, especially my arms!

@marscha4458 4 года назад

Lori Bonicelli try Long Tall Sally!

@caromurray6152 3 года назад

I have the opposite problem as I’m only 5 feet & 1inch tall& even some “petite” jeans are too long in the leg. I can get them altered but sometimes it ruins the overall shape. Also generally here in Australia there seems to be less choice available for petite women.

@ingridbennett5805 7 лет назад

As a pear shaped women it's always recommended that we wear boot cut BUT I find that it just adds excess fabric volume to my lower half and I end up looking more bottom heavy than I already am! Not only that but boot cut jeans are out of fashion at the moment... making me feel too 2000's (and not in a good way).

@raraavis7782 7 лет назад

Ingrid Bennett Yeah, I don't agree with that one either! I'm long legged with narrow hips and bootcut or straight leg looks WAY better on me than skinny jeans. I should be someone who looks great in them, but they make me look 'top heavy' (broad chest/shoulders) while wider legs make my figure appear more balanced.

@mariakarolina7753 7 лет назад

SAME. I'm also pear shaped and quite short (5ft) and everytime I wear a boot cut I feel like I look even shorter.

@deltaflute03 7 лет назад

I buy a relaxed fit or straight. boot makes me look shorter and skinny makes the pear in me more pronounced.

@silvermoonshineX3 7 лет назад

exactly my problem. I feel comfortable in skinny jeans and combine them with quite loose fit things on the top

@Tisiphone2 7 лет назад

It's funny when recommendations go awry, I've heard the same thing too but I think the style that looks best on me as a pear is a trouser or wide leg (but not a huge wide leg). I think an issue with the bootcut is does the part where it starts to flare fall with where your knee actually is, not in the right spot definitely makes it look off. Ultimately if you like something, try it on, it's the best way to see if it works for your particular body.

@rikketakera 7 лет назад

I'm a very tall (180cm) pear shape with a big butt but a small waist, and I literally don't own a single pair of pants that fit properly 😩 I feel the need to go with high waisted pairs because they prevent my butt from spilling out when I sit down (lol), but they're always too wide around the waist when they fit my full thighs, butt and hips. Lower waists just give me a muffin top. Ugh. The STRUGGLE. To be honest, most of the time I just give up and wear skirts.

@justineleconte 7 лет назад

+Rikke that's not a bad solution at all! 😊

@simonevangrieken3630 6 лет назад

Maybe try vintage mom jeans? It has to fit your style, but they're usually perfect for ladies with more curves and a small waist. Might be too short, but that doesn't matter with this style :)

@beckyparkes7182 6 лет назад

Belts, belts, belts!! I have the same problem :)

@mommabear5059 6 лет назад

Rikke the struggle is REAL!!! I think pants have changed, or maybe the fabric. I can only wear slacks/trousers and I still have to try dozens of pairs before finding ones that fit properly. I haven’t found a pair of jeans that don’t stick out in the back in over a decade. Something changed in the fashion industry for this to be a problem for multitudes of women worldwide. It’s not the shape of the women, it’s the designs.

@imwawamah2543 6 лет назад

Me too but not so critical. I just wear skinny jeans from levis. My small waits 78cm and my hip 104cm

@tomatenmagnet 7 лет назад

some advice for my tall ladies out there. Go shop in the men's section! The cut isn't any different. Not even in the crotch. Except that a women's 34 length is never long enough for me but a men's 34 fits perfectly. And if you'd prefer a tighter leg that's super easy to fix yourself. There are plenty of tutorials out there. Another upside to men's jeans is that they have bigger pockets and are often cheaper.

@Avrysatos 7 лет назад

They're also often built more durable, which is super important if you're going to put down $$ on clothes. Getting stuff that lasts longer is always better. Though, I've always had to get them tailored to fit my waist because most mens jeans don't have enough curve for me. That's a minor thing really.

@HopeHendershot-Moskal 7 лет назад

Yep, I started wearing mens jeans for the same reason. All womens jeans make me look like I'm wearing flood pants.

@gloriaj.pinsker9577 7 лет назад

Li Na Aren't men's jeans good only for a "ruler" figure? Men don't have a difference b/t waist & hips.

@tomatenmagnet 7 лет назад

Gloria J. Pinsker I honestly never had a problem with that and my body definitely doesn't have a ruler shape. I think men's bodies are a bit more diverse than that. And many jeans have stretchy fabrics which might make a difference as well. It's worth trying some on either way.

@rei_cirith 5 лет назад

I have big butt and big thighs, and I'm petite. It's such a pain trying to find pants that don't make me look short and fat. Straight cut always makes my legs look like chimneys, and boot cut makes me look really short. Even the Levi's bold curve is too short on the back, they squish my butt flat and wide. I always have to go back to a stretchy skinny jeans with pockets just right. After a decade of just riding on the old jeans that still fit, I finally found Lucky Jeans midrise and highrise jeans (Ava, Lolita and Brigitte), and they fit amazing. I can finally repurpose my jeans instead of fixing that hole in the butt. 😂

@evelynsantiago6562 5 лет назад

@reicirith Thanks to your suggestion, I was out looking for some jeans and found a pair of Lucky Brand jeans (the Lolita Mid Rise Crops), and decided to give them a shot. I cannot tell you how pleased I am! Like you I have an ample bottom, my thighs are fuller, and I'm petite. Finding a pair that actually cover my backside and don't do that dreaded slide when I sit or bend is beyond fantastic. Thank you for the recommendation!

Hello/ Bonjour Justine , I am french like you but will post my comment(s) in English since your growing audience seems to be English speaking . Great video as usual , your videos are always delivered in a highly structured and informative manner ...yet friendly and straight to the point about fashion, trends , French ways etc...so well done ! I never / rarely comment on videos and i had to register and get a youtube profile just to leave you a comment and congratulate you :-) In fact i wanted to comment on the video you've made on the 5th of july about how to start a business , which is similar to the subject of your first video you've made when you started this channel , which purpose was to make a journal of your journey as a young designer launching her business ...and in between you seem to be adding so many advices on clothes, fashion and so much more ...There's something you do not mention in your video about how to start your business and "market it" ...for instance i was wondering how you've managed to turn this channel since your first video into such a success 175 000 abonnés , that's not a small number ! Félicitations...could you be kind enough to reflect perhaps on what / how you've managed that ? which video perhaps helped to bring you an audience in the jungle of all the youtubers talking about fashion and beauty etc...plus in your first video which introduced your channel you've explained and offered to share a sort of step by step journey / journal on you building your business and fashion line? which somewhat has turned into one of the most informative and well researched channel on fashion , clothes, trends etc...anyway CONGRATULATIONS / mes félicitations les plus sincères ...a bientôt et merci de partager avec nous d'une façon aussi claire et intelligente sur des sujets variés ...vous avez vraiment un style très personnel de présenter ces sujets ...and straight to the point ! Si je parviens à écrire et compléter tout ce que j' aimerais faire and "achieve" avec mon blog , je ne manquerais pas de mentioner votre chaine et certaines vidéos bien précises ..pourquoi refaire ce qui est déjà si bien fait ;-)

@MsCMR80 6 лет назад

Very helpful information! I bought a pair of Levi’s skinny jeans in Portugal many years ago. They were PERFECT. Once I returned home to Ireland and tried to get a second pair, I was informed that the style I had gotten in Portugal was only sold in Latin America, Portugal and Spain, bc the cuts were made slightly different in those markets, to suit curvier shapes, while the “same” skinnies here in Ireland were cut for narrower waists and leaner bottoms 😪 I’m Colombian, so that’s my story 😉

@MsCMR80 6 лет назад

In short, skinny jeans sold in Ireland, UK and most European countries (except Spain and Portugal) never ever suit my South American curves, no matter how thin I may be 😪

Other than diet and exercise, what do you recommend for those of us with a stomach and saddlebags? Thanks for all of your tips.

@Night_Owlette_30 6 лет назад

Xelbuad cut sugar. most of the fat cells there are used to store converted glucose from the liver.

@francespowell6923 6 лет назад

Nothing BUT diet and exercise is going to do that.

I don't know if you experience the same struggle as me, but whenever I'm on the hunt for a good pair of jeans I always run into the same problem: I have a tiny waist (only 58cm), but my hips and bum are 93 cm, because I am an athlete and grew a fair amount of muscle in that region. And my jeans almost never ever fit me perfectly on the waist AND my hips/legs, I usually have to alter them myself (which is not a problem) or sacrifice one for the other But great video as always, Justine! much love from saxony

@justineleconte 7 лет назад

+irgendeine mit 'nem Namen indeed, your body requires taking the waist in. But I am sure you wouldn't want to loose muscles in the hip/thigh area. I find sporty bodies beautiful, on men and women 😀

@azraaydn737 5 лет назад

Literally the struggle is real

@lelafritzer2955 3 года назад

If you're still interested, I've got somewhat similar measurements (60/90) and some of the Weekday jeans fit me quite well. Definitely not perfectly, but better than many others, so maybe those could be something for you. Apart from this gap at the back that's still there even then, the cut sadly varies a lot with them (I've tried on four jeans of the exact same model and size in different colours and only one fit me well enough to keep it, but that's a win because I've been trying to find jeans for an eternity)

I've heard the "wear low waisted jeans for apple body types" a few times now. Do other apples find that this style literally falls down when you walk? If you buy a tighter waist then you just suffer muffin top. I can only wear mid or high rise.

@justineleconte 7 лет назад

+15wolfey can you recommend one where the mid or high-rise waist isn't too tight? Other viewers we're asking too.

@missmayflower 7 лет назад

Me too! I've ended up having to insert elastic into the back half of the waistband and now they stay up.

@15wolfey 7 лет назад

Justine Leconte officiel. Hi Justine. Yes, as someone else has already commented, Paige jeans work for me (Hoxton Ultra Skinny). I have also had success with Adriano Goldschmied (The Prima Mid-rise Cigarette). A mid-rise bootcut also works to balance out my bigger top half. Hope this helps.

@Ffeabysawsen 7 лет назад

Justine Leconte officiel I'm a petite apple shape and have two pairs of diesel Fayza style, the best and most comfortable jeans I've ever owned. They're designed to be worn low and be a little baggy around the butt on thin girls, on me they fit fabulously at the waist, hips, legs and butt in 2 sizes smaller than my usual. Would definitely recommend!

@mariasmith2198 6 лет назад

agree. Also high rise makes the legs look long.

@mademoisellelinda 7 лет назад

I think you should have mentioned as well what type of denim as well. I am a full hourglass (there is 30cm at least between my hips and waist) and the only jeans that fit are the one with some elastane to give them a stretchy feeling. Otherwise I cannot even pass a jeans through my bum :p High waist is also better for hourglass (on me they end up being middle waist lol) because they enhance the waistline.

@Canadian97467 7 лет назад

Justine: An idea for your business. You mentioned that patterns are regional... I am a French Canadian women, who lives in Denmark. My daughter has my body shape (petite hourglass). In Denmark, the patterns are OBVIOUSLY made for ruler shaped and inverted triangle women. This type of pattern does match the most common body types around here. Now that my daughter is an adult, like me, it's fairly easy to find clothes that will fit, since we are not too short either. However, from the age of 9 to 12, clothes shopping was a nightmare. The pants for girls here have no room for the bum, AT ALL. Just try shopping for clothes with a child, who experiences that not only things don't look right, but they hurt if she can zip them up and tie the button. She was literally screaming and crying in the dressing room. It took hours to find one pair of pants, and we had to do it all over again after a short amount of time, because she was still growing (horizontally). If you feel like making children clothes and selling them online, clothes that actually fit slowly growing curves in Europe, I think there would be a market. Financially, I used to try to find the cheapest pants possible, because we would need to buy new pants every 3 to 6 months for 3 or 4 years. We tried shopping in more expensive clothes stores, the problem still occurred. Also, the rare jean we could potentially find in such a store was so expensive that it was prohibitive to buy new ones 3 months later. So, a good fitting pair, with room for the growing hips of a 9 year old, could cost as much as these more expensive pants as long as they are roomy enough to last a reasonable amount of time. Room to let the hip bone grow. :-)

@Canadian97467 7 лет назад

Maybe there are good children clothes brands available online nowadays, but it might be worth investigating. My daughter didn't want to wear dresses or skirts either, because all the other girls wore pants. :-/

Ana The reader Hi...I also wasn't aware there are stores that only carry jeans... Bought a pair online from Macy's last week, and I HATE them- even though they're the same size as my other jeans, these are TIGHT on me. Thanks to Justine, now I know why!! P.S. You look beautiful, Justine! !🤗

@natnadb 7 лет назад

I am wondering the same question! I've never been to a jeans-specialized store before, but would like to give it a go, since it's so hard to actually find something that fits...

@emrambles7949 7 лет назад

I think she was talking about brands specializing in jeans, not necessarily entire shops. Examples of denim brands would be Levi's, Pepe Jeans, Lee, Diesel, True Religion, G-Star, 7 for All Mankind... Lots of compartment stores have denim sections where you have lots of brands, cuts and sizes.

@vivianr6406 7 лет назад

I was wondering the same. The only one I know is levis here in Colorado. I have given up on jeans and just get men's 501, or 505's. I have learned so much from your videos Justine, I even educate my 21 year old daughter, thank you.

My favourite pair are topshop Jamie, they seem to fit a lot of people very well. I am somewhere between inverted triangle and hourglass (triangle when looking at my shoulders to my hips, and hourglass by ratio between wais and hips) with average thighs. They are just so comfortable and accentuate my waist :)

I was a huge fan of the bold curve Levi's jeans as I am something of an extreme pear, but Levi's stopped selling them in shops over a year ago and now I checked and I can't even get them online anymore in Europe. Does anyone know of other brands or models that could replace them?

@justineleconte 7 лет назад

@codename9824 7 лет назад

bealittecreative silver brand jeans. They are amazing, I used to buy Levi's supreme curve but they don't make them anymore. Silver brand Suki fit was perfect for me and they carried various inseams and styles.

@pegsbarton6353 7 лет назад

I also cut down longer slips into tunic length because a tunic 'snagging' on your behind adds pounds to your look! Makes tunics slide easily over my trousers to give me a sleeker look.

@diana4043 7 лет назад

Justine, you're fantastic! I'm 45 and It took me years to figure out what fit me well. I look back at my 20's when I was much much thinner and I made such poor jean choices...Im thinking we didn't have as many options as we do today. Thanks for the superb content💕

@LSSYLondon 7 лет назад

Have you looked at NYDJ (Not Your Daughter's Jeans)? Those are made specifically for women with a bit of belly. They feel fabulous and stretch really nicely in that area smoothing everything.

@taleef1760 7 лет назад

JuJu Bean I have the same problem. For my personal taste I avoid low cut like the plague I just feel like my belly hangs over the waist band. I prefer a mid or high rise and something with a bit of stretch so it doesn't hurt my belly. Don't be afraid of jeggings either. They can be really flattering when paired with a flowy top or one where it chinches at the true waist.

@tanaphelps1552 6 лет назад

Yes!! All my pants fall off of me if they stretch too much since I have a smaller hip and thigh than waist.

@elisafourchault7704 7 лет назад

I think this shows more what your style is than anything else... The jeans you called high-waisted look more like a normal waist. High waisted is when they are at or closer to the belly button. Most of the jeans in this video are low cut. Here in Norway everyone wore them in the early 2000s. Today I would not be caught dead in those but I guess each to their own. :)

@Neenerella333 7 лет назад

I like what athleta calls their waist heights: two fingers' width between navel and waist of pants is called "peace"(hand gesture for peace) and lower rise is called "scout" for the US Boy Scout gesture (three fingers) during their oath. I am long waisted but petite, so other labels are not always accurate. I reiterate the woman who buys men's pants, as they use actual dimensions in their sizing. Men's also come in more mixes of those dimensions--I, for example am 33"(scout rise) waist with a 30" inseam. Men's also come in leg cuts like boot and straight and skinny. So it works for me.

@eleo_b 7 лет назад

Elsa Rasmussen __yes, they didn't look high waisted at all and I thought they had a late 90s/early 2000s vibe too!

@shapelessblob7725 7 лет назад

Elsa Rasmussen she said either wear "high waisted or normal to your waist" so that obviously was one that was NOT highwaisted

@mimaesthetic2517 5 лет назад

Élisa Fourchault some people's waist are higher up or down because they have a longer/shorter torso so different places for belly buttons. She could have very well been wearing a high waist too.
