Finding the right rise is SO important--I can attest to this! When I was in my teens (early 2000s), low rise jeans were on trend (and practically the only style available in mass market stores), and that rise does me absolutely no favors, as I'm pear-shaped with a long torso and shorter legs. High rise jeans and pants (with a high enough rise, too--I prefer ~12" when I can find it) have been a god-send. They look so much more flattering, give me the proportions I like on myself, and--most importantly--make my pants WAY more comfortable since they sit properly on my body.
I am the opposite, short torso, so the current high rise popularity means 90 percent of the jeans out there make my torso look ridiculously short compared to my legs, and are also uncomfortable for me. If only rises were not a trend but readily available as sizes to fit all shapes..
I finally saw someone who looks good in low rise jeans! I assumed they were universally unflattering, but no! She has a straight, slim silhouette without a defined waist and the low rise looked great on her. But I think for a lot more people, high rise is more flattering.
Same here! I never knew the amazing-ness of high rise jeans until I was in my 30s when they came into fashion and I will NEVER go back to struggling with low or mid rises!!
Wow, I never would have guessed you were only 5’3”! I always thought you were much taller. Just goes to show the power of good styling. As someone who is 5’1” this gives me hope.
Wow! Until you pointed it out, I would never have noticed what a difference a shortened zipper can make. From this point forward, I’ll be checking to make sure the zipper goes down far enough. The zip that extends nearer the crotch looks much neater & more polished.
Arshi Kaur Levi’s do long zippers and high quality jeans. If you can, I recommend investing in a pair of Levi’s as they last a lot longer than jeans from most other shops.
Shopping for jeans is the WORST. I always end up depressed at the end of the day 😂 but this information will help me feel better equipped to shop next time.
I had always wanted to ask about your height and I'm shocked to hear that you're a petite 5'3" - that's a testament to your styling prowess. Please make a video on styling for petites. Thank you. 💜
Very informative. I learned a lot! I would like to add also that for those of us who want our jeans to have a more slimming effect, long jeans are a far better option than cropped. Cropped jeans cut the leg length visually and make short, plump people look shorter and plumper. :)
I’m a new fan of your channel. Just love how u put fashion & style into perspective. I’m a physician and quite busy with the day to day work & family life. I have plenty of clothes but it can get frustrating sorting out what to wear. I’ve watch maybe a dozen of your videos and will be cleaning up my closet based on your advice. Will continue to follow. Thx
I am so grateful to you and your channel. I bought jeans that actually fit me for the first time every (I'm almost 42) with the right rise, right silhouette and right colour. All because of this video. You have helped me SO MUCH in establishing my own style and minimalist capsule wardrobe which I'm working on this year. Thank you so much
Back in 2004, I bought my 1st pair of 7 For All Mankind 👖with my 1st paycheck. I felt like million bucks. I continued wearing them and properly taking care of them. 17 years later, they still fit me like a glove and they look amazing.
Here’s a funny story : For my wedding (many years ago) all the groomsmen ordered their tux pants by their waist to floor measurement instead of by inseam. All the pants arrived the day of the wedding and were all 4-6 “ too long. Every guy looked like Charlie Chaplin.
This video definitely helped me become more educated in jeans. I know you’ve mentioned jeans in the past and when I go thrifting now, I pay attention to a lot of what you recommend but this is on a whole new level. Thank you so much Audrey, you inspire me daily 🙂
Thank you so much for your beautiful videos. You're the best! At the risk of sounding redundant, your vids perfected a perfect formula- your wonderful voice, the lovely background music and visuals, and your undisputable knowledge. A feast for the eyes, ears and brain!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for unveiling the mystery of jeans and how they should fit. I saved this video and will refer back. This is the most complete explanation of this topic that I've ever seen.
I love this tutorial so much! It will really help me avoid the "Hail, Mary" jean shopping I usually do. I appreciate your attention to educating your subscribers!
Perfect! I recently the dyed a pair of Ralph Lauren jeans I have had for 20 years! They are the perfect silhouette and fit! It gained the perfect dark color and fit .
I really love the way you pronounce and enunciate words. It really catches my attention not only on the content of your blog but the whole you. I love you Audrey!
Right on time! I was looking for a pair of jeans the other day! I havent bought anything cause i’m thinking if i could still watch a guide from your channel 😊
The shortened zipper is a good tip and I never thought about the number of stitches as a sign of quality but makes sense. Off topic but your voice is lovely:)
Hi Audrey, First of all I would like to thank you for your wonderful videos that had a significant impact on my personal life. I am going through a weight loss process, and still have a long way to go to reach the healthy weight that suits me. Being overweight made me loose the interest for beautiful clothes, and in general for my image. When I go back to France for visiting my family, I always endure the embarrassing step of going to shops and never find nothing that fits me. That was untill I bumped into your channel, and by the energy, and your sincere passion for clothing, you made me love beautiful clothes again. That encouraged me to keep on loosing weight, and now I look forward to this spring for my next vacation in Paris and go remake all my wardrobe. Thanks again, and keep on making us dream. PS: I have been searching for the same type of blazer as the one you are wearing on minute 2:26 of this video. I don't have the right terminology to describe clothes. If I wanted to search on e-bay, how should I describe this type of blazer. Best regards.
Your videos are so informative; they're also beautifully and encouragingly presented...not too long, not too short but just right. And so many topics. Thank you!!!
Thank you! I've learned a lot. I have never paid so much attention to the details such as pocket position, length of the zippers and so on. The last part of the video is so beautiful, calming and pleasant.
Hey Audrey, I love your fashion sense. Above all, you dress with such sophistication and class which my parents constantly emphasise to me. I live in a tropical location so it is quite humid here and I have little chance of rocking any jackets or jeans without being sweaty. It would be wonderful if you could do some videos on how to dress for hot, humid weather. Cheers xx
Love the music with your lookbook at the end. And you did a wonderful job of helping with details of fit and considerations when buying and caring for jeans.
Great tips! Quite a few tips are familiar to me and I have done since high school and college. I just don't remember you covered. My number one tip is to wash my jeans maybe 1 or 2 times a year and turn them inside out. I do this because of the fade factor and never dry as you suggested. MY ONLY EXCEPTION IS IF YOU BELIEVE THE DYE OF THE JEAN WILL TRANSFER TO OTHER CLOTHING AND FURNITURE IS PUT THE JEANS IN DRYER WITH A DAMP TOWEL ON THE DELICATE CYCLE FOR 15 -20 MINUTES.
Excellent video. I like all of the jeans in your wardrobe. I've recently purchased some higher rise jeans and find them not only more comfortable but more figure flattering (they hide my tummy).
Audrey, you are such a sweetheart! You are classy, beautiful and elegant. Pleasure to watch! Thank you for sharing yourself with the world. The world needs more people like you.
I've been trying to find the right pair of jeans for ages! bought so many and never worn them ! Now I have a n idea of what to buy thank you so much. Your videos are so helpful
Such great information, thank you! I'm looking for a new pair of black and will take some measurements first--I have so many that tend to be too long in the rise and that drives me crazy. I think my age (70) and changing body shape has something to do with this.
Perfection. Fav video for the aesthetic and for practical information. I am plus sized and have problems buying jeans. I’ve realized because there is too much stretch in plus sized jeans for me they move around too much and don’t look good. So the cotton/elastane ratio was interesting. I will be taking my measurements and doing some research!!
@@lo4568 Honestly the jeans that I found that fit me the best are from Old Navy and since I'm 5'3 I buy the short ones not the regular ones and they hit just right.
Hi audrey I am learning a lot from you! Could you please make a video on how to find blazers/jackets that good and suit one's personal style? I am trying to build a more formal? wardrobe from my initial casual one and I am confused with jackets. It'll help a lot.
For me that is also a problem. Like Audrey, I too am 5'3" but have longish hip measurement...about 1" or more. Doesn't seem like much except when you DON'T want that low rise look, and you've bought 'high rise' and they still cut into the crotch. The camel toe look is not a pretty sight! LOL!
Such splendid advice: this will help me immensely when purchasing jeans, I'm sure. Would you say these tips also work for men jeans? Thank you so much for all the effort you put on helping everyone!
My absolute favorite pair of jeans were 100% cotton and buttery soft. Now, I prefer a dark wash jean (trouser jean, if I can find them), and as you said, with no more than 2% rubber. I dislike polyester in jeans - I don't like the feel, and they make me so, so hot. However, I do like a cropped jean, especially in summer. But typically, I only wear jeans during cooler weather, because high humidity in summer is just too stifling. Thanks, Audrey
Your videos are excellent, and have such good information. I also think that even if a person had no interest in clothing, they would still enjoy listening, because your manner and presentation are so very pleasant!
Very informative. I'm 56 I am 5'4 and I am a size 8. I do have a hard time finding jeans that fit well. Thank you Audrey I will use this information to find a great fitting pair of jeans.
I always soak my new jeans in a mixture of white vinegar and water( 1/4 vinegar to 3/4 water) to “ set” the color and have rarely had problems with fading. Most people know this trick for red colored or black colored items ( I only do it to cotton garments), but it works great for Jeans too.
😭I have a red t-shirt that now has that "vintage washed" look that you can find in stores but that I hate and it was a beautiful red at first, will do this from now on. How long do you leave it in for?
Hi, great video as always :). I would really appreciate if you could make a video describing how to choose blazers - especially when shopping online i.e. Ebay and similar. Thank you!
OMG you look so tall! im 5 feet 3 too! but I like gathered skirts and dresses and flat shoes. except I only wear boyish stuff. im beginning to understand that the reason I get drawn to gathered dresses might be to hide my belly (im not overweight) or just the cuteness of it. but i always look frumpy when i dress like that. but even in silk fitted shirts and skinny pants i feel like I look short. I have a lot to work on myself.
@@peggyharris3815 My inseam is...Normal, pants are veen too long often...But I am also skinny. But pear-shaped. I can easily differ several sizes between hips and waist in jeans depending on the brand, but because I am so skinny 'curve' jeans (which target to pear-shaped and hourglass-shaped people, aka curvy people, but only bigger curvy people) aren't really it either.
@@gittevandevelde2208 ...fashion limbo. Probably a lot of women would love to have our "skinny problem". Leggings have replaced jeans for me. I've been told I'm too thin...lol...it's impossible.
I love the high rise,dark denim and a little stretch. High rise seems to be more difficult to find in my stores. This is all very helpful information. I do hang dry my jeans. I too am 5’3 petite, however much older.
Audrey, at Last! Someone that concurs with my thoughts about NOT putting jeans into a tumbler dryer :-) This pleases me so very much. I totally agree that it makes Jeans last longer. In fact, I rarely put any of my clothes into the dryer. I hang them on an overhead 'pulley system' airer to let them dry. Thanks for the helpful information and good advice X
I wish I could’ve found this video years ago - it would have saved me a lot of time! I had to learn all these guidelines on my own. The part about cotton versus elastane/nylon is especially important!
I bought 3 pairs of Levi jeans and they fit well but they have tiny pockets in front. They barely hold my keys. I am very disappointed because I depend on deep pockets.
Your videos are so cleverly produced! Mad skills 😉 your voice is pure silk and for asmr aficionados your channel hits the spot (too). Not surprised to hear you are a classically trained singer. Like others, i see an audrey notification, i stop everything and hit like before you have even started. Love from the netherlands 🎶🎵💜🍇☕
I'm extremely petite (4'9"), quite curvy, and have short legs. I look really good in a 98% cotton, light-mid wash denim with elongating wear patterns in the wash, and a very high rise -- overall, a very structured pair of jeans. Usually I cannot find pants that a) fit over my butt, b) are thin enough at the waist, c) have a short enough inseam, d) have a high enough rise, and e) are affordable enough to purchase. I've found that for me, I needed to learn how to sew. Now I generally buy my jeans from a thrift store in a wash that I like and a material that I like, and alter them myself to fit. I fix the rise by cutting apart the 4 pieces of material that hit the crotch area and then moving the 4 quadrant intersection down towards the leg hems a little bit. This also helps shorten the inseam, and sometimes I don't even need to hem them using this method. To thin out the waist, I use the existing seam at the back of the butt, pull off the belt loop directly above it on the waistband, rip the seam on the back to then sew back together at a more suitable size and put the belt loop back on. The belt loop covers the seam that I created on the waistband and the existing seam on the butt hides any additional seams. But if you're not this crafty, I cannot recommend enough heading to a thrift store to get a pair of jeans that you love the cut, wash, and material of, and forming a good connection with a local tailor/seamstress. Where I live, getting a pair of $5 thrift store jeans tailored (assuming you're not completely reconstructing them), is like $20 and that could be even less per item if you bring a few pieces at a time to be tailored and have a good relationship with your tailor.
Perfect timing. Looking to buy a psir of forever jeans. The low rise skinny styles of the last few years have left me cold--i love the jeans of the late 70s, early 80s. If Jacklyn Smith or Brook Shields wore it, I will. Of course, I'm only 5'2"! The blue silk blouse, blazer combo was perfect.
Audrey, this is much needed . I have same measurements as you but have bad time buying Jean's. The pants legs are way too long and hemming so much can ruin style. My ? Is do you have to hem yours? And Do you ever buy petite sizes in jeans.? If so , which brands? Thanks again!!
I have realised by experience most of what you mention. But usually my big problem is the waist being too big in order to fit my hops. I usually end up threading broad elastic into it.
Good of you to help with this because denim requires more fresh water and energy to produce than virtually any other fabric. So, those who feel they must own numerous pairs are helping use up precious resources that we have no mass replacement methods for at present. We will not be able to drink our extra pairs of jeans that we rarely, if ever, wear. So this is important. Thanks again for this.
Nicely informative video. However, I do wish you had also covered “fit”. The “fit” I am familiar with includes: shaped, relaxed, and straight (I consider this a blend of the first two). I realize there may be more. I tend to prefer a relaxed fit as it has a high rise (going to the natural waist) and is roomier in the hips and thighs allowing a more hourglass silhouette.
Your voice is so calming i cant find the right word but I feel really comfortable when I hear your voice
I totally agree! I wish my voice was like hers. I'm always told I talk too fast & too loud.

The Girl in Apt 201 Camera angles too. Putting a camera lower to the ground can make someone look taller in a full body shot
The Girl in Apt 201 - totally agree! I thought Audrey was much taller ....
When she said petite I was shocked and happy as I’ve the same height
You just radiate class. Every time I gather up an outfit to mirror one of yours, I feel so put together and comfortable.
I agree completely!
Thankyou!
Wow! Until you pointed it out, I would never have noticed what a difference a shortened zipper can make. From this point forward, I’ll be checking to make sure the zipper goes down far enough. The zip that extends nearer the crotch looks much neater & more polished.
Yes, the camel toe problem is real when the zipper is too short!
Ohhh yeah! WHY do manufacturers have those awful 2" zippers? Do they WANT us to have saggy asses and camel-toes......?
Honestly I searched for the long zipper jeans almost everywhere, but couldn't find any. Ladies, let me know if you find any of them.
Arshi Kaur Levi’s do long zippers and high quality jeans. If you can, I recommend investing in a pair of Levi’s as they last a lot longer than jeans from most other shops.

Hi, great video as always :). I would really appreciate if you could make a video describing how to choose blazers - especially when shopping online i.e. Ebay and similar. Thank you!
It feels good watching your video with your angelic voice that match the expression of your face. Truly, makes my day brighter!
OMG you look so tall! im 5 feet 3 too! but I like gathered skirts and dresses and flat shoes. except I only wear boyish stuff. im beginning to understand that the reason I get drawn to gathered dresses might be to hide my belly (im not overweight) or just the cuteness of it. but i always look frumpy when i dress like that. but even in silk fitted shirts and skinny pants i feel like I look short. I have a lot to work on myself.
My rise is 31 cm/12 inches which is terribly hard to find. Most 'high waisted jeans' are mid-rise on me.
Me too. Also have 33" inseam.
Skinny to boot. Awkward situation.
@@peggyharris3815 My inseam is...Normal, pants are veen too long often...But I am also skinny. But pear-shaped. I can easily differ several sizes between hips and waist in jeans depending on the brand, but because I am so skinny 'curve' jeans (which target to pear-shaped and hourglass-shaped people, aka curvy people, but only bigger curvy people) aren't really it either.
@@gittevandevelde2208 ...fashion limbo. Probably a lot of women would love to have our "skinny problem". Leggings have replaced jeans for me. I've been told I'm too thin...lol...it's impossible.
@@peggyharris3815 Yes...Get told that all the time! Well, not anymore, not straight-up anymore, but still in 'subtle' ways.
I love the high rise,dark denim and a little stretch. High rise seems to be more difficult to find in my stores. This is all very helpful information. I do hang dry my jeans. I too am 5’3 petite, however much older.
Audrey, at Last! Someone that concurs with my thoughts about NOT putting jeans into a tumbler dryer :-) This pleases me so very much. I totally agree that it makes Jeans last longer. In fact, I rarely put any of my clothes into the dryer. I hang them on an overhead 'pulley system' airer to let them dry. Thanks for the helpful information and good advice X
I just learned so much about jeans! I practically live in them! I'll be looking things over more carefully when we shop!
I wish I could’ve found this video years ago - it would have saved me a lot of time! I had to learn all these guidelines on my own. The part about cotton versus elastane/nylon is especially important!
your confidence is shining through
Thanks for including information about the music. It's always such a vibrant part of your videos. Excellent choices.
What are your thoughts on wearing belts with jeans? Width,color, etc. To accentuate or hide?
Wonderful video!
I bought 3 pairs of Levi jeans and they fit well but they have tiny pockets in front. They barely hold my keys. I am very disappointed because I depend on deep pockets.
You can deepen them at home! It’s very easy. Just look fo a video tutorial on TH-cam, there are so many.
That's a trend in women's jeans that I dislike. I even tried on a pair that had fake front pockets! Not cool
The jeans fit really nice and I just didn’t think to check the front pockets. I returned the others.
Excellent! How about some brands/styles for the jeans you showed at the end?
I think that all her jeans are listed in the description box, so you should be able to find specific ones by clicking through :)
Your videos are so cleverly produced! Mad skills 😉 your voice is pure silk and for asmr aficionados your channel hits the spot (too). Not surprised to hear you are a classically trained singer. Like others, i see an audrey notification, i stop everything and hit like before you have even started. Love from the netherlands 🎶🎵💜🍇☕
Your attitude and voice is like a breeze to my soul... thank you...
Your videos just keep getting better. How educational was that? Beautiful. Thank-you.
I'm extremely petite (4'9"), quite curvy, and have short legs. I look really good in a 98% cotton, light-mid wash denim with elongating wear patterns in the wash, and a very high rise -- overall, a very structured pair of jeans. Usually I cannot find pants that a) fit over my butt, b) are thin enough at the waist, c) have a short enough inseam, d) have a high enough rise, and e) are affordable enough to purchase. I've found that for me, I needed to learn how to sew. Now I generally buy my jeans from a thrift store in a wash that I like and a material that I like, and alter them myself to fit. I fix the rise by cutting apart the 4 pieces of material that hit the crotch area and then moving the 4 quadrant intersection down towards the leg hems a little bit. This also helps shorten the inseam, and sometimes I don't even need to hem them using this method. To thin out the waist, I use the existing seam at the back of the butt, pull off the belt loop directly above it on the waistband, rip the seam on the back to then sew back together at a more suitable size and put the belt loop back on. The belt loop covers the seam that I created on the waistband and the existing seam on the butt hides any additional seams.
But if you're not this crafty, I cannot recommend enough heading to a thrift store to get a pair of jeans that you love the cut, wash, and material of, and forming a good connection with a local tailor/seamstress. Where I live, getting a pair of $5 thrift store jeans tailored (assuming you're not completely reconstructing them), is like $20 and that could be even less per item if you bring a few pieces at a time to be tailored and have a good relationship with your tailor.
Lovely video! Thanks so much. I really like your outdoor shots.
You have a really soothing and calming voice...
Perfect timing. Looking to buy a psir of forever jeans. The low rise skinny styles of the last few years have left me cold--i love the jeans of the late 70s, early 80s. If Jacklyn Smith or Brook Shields wore it, I will. Of course, I'm only 5'2"!
The blue silk blouse, blazer combo was perfect.
Who could dislike this?? Thank you for the tips Audrey - I'm shopping for jeans right now. #rightontime
Audrey, this is much needed . I have same measurements as you but have bad time buying Jean's. The pants legs are way too long and hemming so much can ruin style. My ? Is do you have to hem yours? And Do you ever buy petite sizes in jeans.? If so , which brands? Thanks again!!
I have realised by experience most of what you mention. But usually my big problem is the waist being too big in order to fit my hops. I usually end up threading broad elastic into it.
Good of you to help with this because denim requires more fresh water and energy to produce than virtually any other fabric. So, those who feel they must own numerous pairs are helping use up precious resources that we have no mass replacement methods for at present. We will not be able to drink our extra pairs of jeans that we rarely, if ever, wear. So this is important. Thanks again for this.
Okay this is insanely informative. I may be a guy (or am I?), but I think most of your tips can apply with men's style. Great video!
You are so knowledgeable and I am grateful you have made all these videos! THANK YOU!
Thanks, just watched this video again and I love your style. as a high school teacher I would love to have the style you give off
When I can't sleep I just watch a couple of Audrey's videos, the voice is so soothing it calms me down (in a good way).
This is so helpful! Can you make a video how to pick long winter boots? I'm 4'11 and prefer high-heeled boots haha. Love your videos!!
I always learn so much from your posts. You’re the best! Thanks so much!
Nicely informative video. However, I do wish you had also covered “fit”. The “fit” I am familiar with includes: shaped, relaxed, and straight (I consider this a blend of the first two). I realize there may be more. I tend to prefer a relaxed fit as it has a high rise (going to the natural waist) and is roomier in the hips and thighs allowing a more hourglass silhouette.
Teresa Coffman that's what she was calling style.
