WHAT NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT JEANS *life changing* 

“Once u understand ur shape” Me: the fridge, continue

I can’t wear low rise jeans I wanna pull them up all the time 🤣

I cant believe that 1) I landed here on this kind of video and 2) I actually watched the whole video as a male who is not even looking for jeans. You deserve every single view and like. So respectful and positive, and it is easy to follow your explanations! Its half a geometry class (in an interesting way) and makes totally sense :D Keep it up! Daniel

Make sure the color matches your complexion - soft instead of clear 1. Find your body shape - buy middle and high-waisted jeans 2. Darker colors look smaller and lighter looks bigger 3. Anything that cuts you in half will always make you look shorter. It doesn't elongate you and make you look cohesive 4. The crotch mistake - the end of the zipper and the crotch CANNOT have a space in between. They make you belly look fat and draw attention to a camel tow. 5. Pockets need to be close together and there should be a space between the butt crease and the end of the pocket 6. Hang your jeans to dry! Otherwise, they will become super soggy. 7. Put the jeans around your neck and button them. That will tell you the jean size

me at the store, choking myself with jeans: I'm measuring them

The “crotch mistake” is a seriously hard issue to solve because almost all high waisted jeans don’t have full length zippers😟

I'm an hourglass and I absolutely ADORE high-rise jeans because they don't ride down at all, I don't have to worry about a belt or anything. I also prefer when the bottoms of the jeans flare out while keeping tight to the thighs.

I think Levi’s have got their crap figured out, they have all the good properties listed, the pockets are perfectly set, they got the nice vintage feel most of the time and they’ve got they’re sizing figured out (ie waist size 25x28 instead of a size 4R, which doesn’t show measurements and is very vague and differs between brands, whereas with Levi’s they just do the circumference in inches of the waist and the length of the pants in inches). They have the five pocket figured out, the zipper/buttons figured out, and for the most part it’s the best for every body type. Above all, they’re consistent. With AE, I notice that they have different sized pockets and spacing in the back and I can never find the right ones for my body type. AE does sometimes have close to perfect jeans, but it’s much rarer and I can always count on Levi’s.

When her body looks like that .. she will pull off any type of clothing . Goals

"once you understand your shape." Me: *I look like Daddy pig*

A little late to the comment party, but thank you for posting this!! Our bodies come in so many shapes and sizes, we often take the blame for something not fitting correctly and reinforcing the message something is wrong with how we're shaped. Thank you for the tips and for not forcing any kind of fashion trend, but instead reminding everyone there's nothing wrong with us, it's the choices we're presented with. Keep up the positivity!

Another tip from one jean-buyer to another... a trick I learned a long time ago to check if a pair of jeans will 100%, without a shadow of a doubt fit you, is other than wrapping them around your neck, wrap one end of the waistband from the center of your navel, around to the middle of your back. If it aligns to the center of your back, they will fit. If not, they are too small.

“A muffin top doesn’t exist, you’re just wearing the wrong jeans” 🤣🤣🤣. Yes queen! 🙌🏽

THANK YOU for mentioning the space between the zipper and the crotch!! That is the FIRST thing that I look for. So very frustrating that so many companies still make Jeans like this.

THANK YOU! The details you include in your explanation are the best I've ever heard. Many times I've heard about how pocket placement on the back of your jeans makes the difference between flattering, flattening, or enlarging your rear BUT you're the first person I've heard go into enough detailed explanation of how the placement should be! I also appreciate how you mentioned the front zipper. I've always known some pants looked awful from the front but couldn't ever figure what it was that made most pants look so bad. I'm a body type 7, I think. Used to be the perfect hourglass shape, & thin, at 5'6" 136lbs. Even then I STILL COULD NEVER FIND CLOTHES THAT FIT RIGHT! Clothes shopping, especially for bras, has been the bane of my existence. I really need to have tailered made clothes due to extra long torso, really short legs, & slightly distorted hourglass shape, wish I didn't hate sewing so much.

OMG this video changed my entire thought process on purchasing jeans!!! Thank you for putting this video out there. Im 53yrs young, hahaha, and my body shape has definitely been thru some changes over the years. Im used to being a smaller size than I am rn, so i gave up buying jeans that would fit or flatter my shape in any way. But i believe i just may be able to find a pair that could do just that for me. I am impressed that someone else feels this way about jeans. Not all brands are flattering on my body shape. My butt and belly are a little bit bigger than im used to so i gave up on even trying to find some that fit me. Lol. Thanks for such valuable information. 💜

"'thats gonna make your butt look really big" me: what butt

Reminder : •Light coloured to look bigger, dark to look slimmer •High waisted •Zipper has to be long •Pockets have to be small •Needs a space from pocket to crease •Measure around neck •Pockets not too close and too far away •Hang to dry

I came back to this video YEARS after watching it for the first time to figure out what jeans I need. Just ordered the H&M skinny highs 😂 Thank you for putting all of these little things into words! You're seriously the real MVP

This WAS life-changing! As an apple-shaped, tall, slim child - looking for jeans has been a big headache ever since I can remember. (Being apple-shaped in 2012 was very different than now. The plus-sized section was very limited and I have memories of my poor mother and I spending hours searching through the stiff materials, either not satisfied with the baggy butt or the buttons that didn't close.) Today, I gathered my energy and bought 4 different jeans at thrift stores that cost me a total of $50. I didn't try them on, but I made sure they wrapped around my neck and reached the floor when I held them against my legs. They were a variety of rises, so when I got home I took a fabric measuring tape and categorized them by rise measurement. End result: I'm 5'8', and I need a 12 in rise to not create any muffin-tops. I had been wearing jeans with 9-11 inch rise (!!!!) That's why my jeans so often needed to be pulled up. It's wild how much 1 in difference in rise can make both the buttocks and stomach area feel/look more comfortable! My low-rise jeans (the ones with 10-in rise) I'll be keeping for use with loose blouses and when bloating is better. So thank you thank you thank you!

YES. The crotch problem!! I've been complaining for so long, I feel so validated rn

I want all new jeans now

I remember watching this for the first time years ago, and even though I didn't retain 100% of it I still had the main points floating around my head. I'm in the middle of trying to find my ~perfect~ jeans right now, and this is soooo helpful.

I have watched this every single time I've bought jeans just to make sure that I don't forget things! I love her videos!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

“Once u understand ur shape....” Im a stick

Who else got this in there recommended after 5 years

Good tips! As a retail stylist I’m taking that tip about the elastane all the way to my clients for sure. I am tall and I gain weight in my stomach and I can attest, thank god for high waist jeans with the zipper that goes all the way down, pulls all my business together, if I MUST wear jeans

This is amazing. I am 45 and am only now realizing why so many of my jeans look so terrible after one or 2 wears. I can't wait to go shopping now.

Nobody: RU-vid: Here’s a random video that was posted a year ago

One of my main issues is not being able to find pants that fit my waist and hips. My hips are a lot larger than my waist, so any pants that fit my hips are too big for my waist. I saw a hack earlier of sewing elastic in them, so I might try that.

Thank you so much for these tips... As a single woman her mid 40's I truly appreciate these tips... It helps with my confidence...

Brilliant video! I'm the furthest person from fashion, yet you had my attention and admiration from your eloquent description of jeans wisdom. And I also imagine this will help, too! Thank you. xx

2:26 we all gangsta till the jeans start walking

when you said that my body type should wear low rise jeans i screamed 😂 (i only like high rise lol)

You are the best!!! This was very Helpful! I love that you are to the point and give good practical and positive advice. Thank you!

I honestly really love this video, I used to look down horribly on my body size especially around the stomach and waist area. But I've come to realize that it's not me that's the problem, I just don't have well fitted clothes for my type and when I do, I actually look pretty amazing! ☺☺

Not gonna lie, a lot of the time when I watch clothing hack or clothing tip ideas, half the time I get click baited or the tips aren’t specific and just flat out boring. However in your video, this was so well executed that I loved every bit of it and I found your advice to be really helpful with all of the examples you included. Guess I’m going to the mall now lmao.

can you make a video describing body types with references?

I needed this 20 years ago! This would have saved me not only $, but a bajillion minutes of my life back shopping for jeans. 😂 Thanks for these fantastic tips!

I Love this video! I’ve always done the neck fitting which has helped tremendously. I’ve never thought about the spacing and size of the rear pockets and the different shading of jeans. Thank you so much for your awesome tips that I will use next time I go jean shopping!

"Figure out your body shape" *Stares at rolls* god damn it what do I look like under these

my body shape is unexplainable so i just wear what fits me

Omg! FINALLY, someone ...!!! Overduely needed.

THIS IS THE BEST-EXPLAINED VIDEO ON JEANS! THANK YOU SO MUCH XOXOX

Since the day I watched this video I’ve been using all of this criteria every single time I buy new jeans and it has never failed me. I don’t even have to try them on anymore, they just look amazing. Thank you.

I still can’t figure out my body type

Wow. This was incredible. I've always had trouble shopping for the perfect clothes and I've spent most of my life cursing my purchases. That includes jeans and shirts. I love loose outfits, especially shirts and t-shirts, but they always look horrible on me and I always used to wonder why. Only rarely I've come across a comfortable pair of jeans that flatters my figure and fits amazingly well. Only now I'm realizing that body type plays such a significant role with regards to finding that perfect fit for any outfit. High rise jeans, leggings feel so snug and look great on me too, so do form fitting tops. I'm an hourglass btw.

This is one of the best videos I've ever watched, just because you had great examples and descriptions and it made so much sense! Thanks for the great tips!

You should design your own jeans‼️‼️ thanks for the likes😭

I wish you could come Jean shopping with me.😥

Yay! You just helped me more in a few minutes than years of try ons and a stylist at one point.

I’m headed to my closet right now to see which jeans to keep or give away based on what I now know. Had no idea about the long zipper in front. Great great tidbits! Thank you so much!

Girl I don’t care what this video says I am not going anywhere near the low rise jeans 😭😭

GIRL I'M ABOUT TO CRY I'VE BEEN TELLING MY MOTHER ABOUT THIS EVER SINCE I WAS A TEEN AND SHE NEVER LISTENED AHHHH I KNEW I WASN'T PICKY I WAS RIGHT BRUHHHHH

I learned all of these things just a few years ago.. which is sad because I didn't until my 30s. All of my best body years I never knew how to dress for my shape. Now I'm dressing my best and not letting myself not dress my best! So happy you are sharing these "secrets" with the world! My biggest problem that I never knew was that all my jeans butt pockets were way too big and way to low on my butt. As a short girl (5'1) who is also very curvy, it's been extremely difficult to find jeans with high enough butt pockets. I imagine the jeans that look best on me probably look ridiculous if you just held them up to look at in front of you. But since I'm such a short girl who is curvy and also not overweight I had to accept my "unique" figure before I was confident enough to say I know what looks best and I'm not gonna compromise, I'll only choose what looks best on me even if it isn't what is most popular. I'll take those funky looking jeans off your hands thank you! Lol Last fun fact about myself: my sister is 5'2 and her legs are shorter than mine. Meaning I have long legs and a short torso. So high wasted is the only kind that gives me the best butt but also not always the best waist. Talk about difficult! Lol Anywho, I don't give up when searching and fortunately I've been able to find jeans after a ton of searching that I almost love 😛

I am 65...this is the best information I have read... I stopped wearing jeans for years. I am going through my jeans and having g a clean out! I am so sick of muffin tops and jeans that hurt when i sit down THANK YOU!

I have never looked at these things because I just want a pair that fits well enough to be comfortable.

You have NO idea how prepared I was to roll my eyes half way through this video and click off. This was actually incredibly informative. Great work.

Well. I am 50 years old and 4 minutes into this video and already you've changed my life! This is amazing!!! You are my new hero!

THANK.YOU.SO.MUCH!!!! jeans were always one of those clothing items I adored but could never get consistently right, so tysm for this it helped alot.

this video made me say “OOOOOHHHHHH” for like 8 minute straight

The only youtuber that gets better with time and followers.

That's a video is pure gold. Thank you!

This is really the best video with "how to jeans" advices. Thank you much, this helps a lot!

Shopping for jeans ALWAYS raises my stress level..like a love hate experience!

imagine entering in a store and seeing someone putting a pair of jeans around their neck. just think about it

This *life changing* 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 thank you so freakin much!!! ❤️❤️

Wow, this had a lot of advice I've never heard before but it makes so much sense. I can't wait to try this and actually find some jeans that fit!!

(Reminder for me) * dark colored * high waisted * zipper thingy * not too close or too far pockets * smallish pockets * higher up pockets (crease needs space from pocket) Awe thank you guys! You’re free to screenshot❤️

The crotch mistake is sooo helpful!

I saw this video years ago. I have to buy jeans today and came looking for this exact vid, because from watching it the first time I can tell this are the best tips. 😊 Thank you.

Love it! So helpful. This explains why I always loved jeans from thrift stores cause they were older made better. Had a lot and offered a couple pair to someone in need and she boxed up every pair maybe by mistake and took all of my older made jeans! I’m hourglass but have somewhat of a tummy so I don’t know if that makes me hourglass or the big oval lol

Maybe I’m late to the game but the whole “don’t dry your jeans” tip just changed my life

I didn’t know jeans were this complicated 😭

this is really helpful! thanks so much for making this video 💙

Oh..My.. Gawd!!! Where the heck have you been all my life? Im 54 and had no idea that I was buying the wrong jeans. MIND BLOWN! Girl, thank you thank you thank you x

i loopoveeeeeeeeee this wow thank you brb going shopping

The life changing tag is NOT clickbait. What an awesome video, thanks so much!

Love this, I have hip dips which make me look like an inverted tri, even though I'm not completely... I have a small curvy waist and some derriere. Finding jeans that fit comfortably has been a little challenging for me, so I'm definitely going to apply these tips on my next mall run. I'm sure they'll help! Tysm ❤️

The neck fit always comes through for me. My mom showed it to me 15 years ago and to this day in 2022 with HEAVY weight fluctuation it still works for me! 💯

I'm overwhelmed back to yoga pants

Can we just have a moment of silence for the AMAZING POCKET INFO???!!! Denim manufacturers! STOP putting the same size pockets on every size jean, and in the same place of every pair!!! This video needs to be shared with all of them. Thank you, Alexandra!

I love this video! So helpful. I'm an inverted triangle or rectangle shape, so it's hard to find flattering clothes. The pockets on the back tip has been a gamechanger!

This is a great video! As a petite hourglass, I stick to either mid-rise or high-rise jeans. I mainly wear skinny jeans but sometimes wear straight-leg styles. I had a professional style analysis and was told to never wear bootcut, flare, or wide-leg styles because they overwhelm me. An excellent hack for hourglass women: if the front of the waist does not dip significantly, the jeans will not fit and will gap in the waist! I mainly wear True Religion, WHBM, and Loft jeans because all of those brands make curvy-fit jeans, which don't gap at the waist or pull at the hips.

I gotta buy high-waisted jeans because I don't wanna be looking like a plumber 😂😂

I love how positive this video is. No “oh you need to hide your belly if you have a muffintop”. This is facts and tips, no shaming :)

OMGG ty so much for this video and the content in this video!! ***** stars, more if it was possible lolol, I can’t believe that this is the only video I’ve ever seen before about jeans and how important it is to know, #1- that people actually can know how to get the right fit, #2- that different styles of jeans actually DO affect how they look on your different anatomy type, #3- that no one has ever thought of it yet and put it out there for all the beautiful women in the world lol lol!!??

I’m 5’2” and well endowed in the rear. Finding jeans that fit and flatter has been a lifelong challenge. This video helps A LOT. You won a new subscriber 🎉

2:28 does anybody notice it looks like it's floating pants at the top

I really love how you’re completely real with us. You don’t hide things like ‘rolls’ for example when you’re showing poorly fitting jeans and you give actual advice

You have grown up so beautiful glad to see you are still posting videos

Omg I just found this channel. This is great. Thank you!

a title like this would usually be click bait but you always live up to your word 👌👌

Ok this video literally changed my mom’s life, like I convinced her to watch it and it inspired her to buy some more jeans, which lead her to totally updating her wardrobe and style (which she hadn’t updated in 20 years) and now she looks and feels amazing! Love your vids 💕💕

Thank you so much for this! I honestly have given up on jeans for a while now because I could never find a style or fit that is comfortable on me, but maybe now I should try again and keep your tips in mind.

Jeez, you're soooo right! Excellent analysis and superbly presented.

Now THIS is QUALITY CONTENT

Brands better take notes

Awesome tips, best I have ever heard! Thank you!
