agree, zip-off pants are so useful! and usually come with lots of pockets!!!! but i don't think us archaeologists should be trusted when it comes to fashion choices haha
I love hiking and I also own a pair of zip-off pants which are soooo useful when walking through thick grass. Where I live there are quite a lot of ticks. I wouldn't want to walk around with bare legs because they always get me. However, I love zipping them off once I'm out of the grass. They are super practical and (in my opinion) don't need to be super flattering or beautifully styled. :)
Sometimes, when I was a youth, low rise jeans meant the zipper was almost dumb because it was soooo tiny. Like, an inch of zipper. Oh, the early 2000s.
I remember the awkward hell of going through puberty in the late 90s trying to find raw denim boot leg jeans that fit before bell bottoms came in style. Cargo joggers were the only reprieve curvy girls got. I just had a stomach and was still growing so I wasn’t even big for my age. Then came low rise jeans. And yep, zippers not as even long as a finger. If you didn’t have a body like Christina Aguilera or Brittney Spears; it really sucked. This was also the age where we were getting lectures about loving our bodies ironically with the images way behind the times. At least high rise jeans stretch…but they should’ve retained more of the denim and definitely the deeper pockets. Some brands are trying to fix that now.
Lol I had a cousin that would always wear those low low ones with the dumb zipper and she would always wear a size smaller 🤦♀️ free pube show for everyone
The low rise jeans not actually being low rise was disappointing! I agree with you that I bet these companies think that plus size jeans have to cover the belly and so they don't make actually low rise jeans in plus sizes, but if you want to wear a low rise jean, you should be able to! (Though I do not particularly want to and very much appreciate mid and high rises being widely available and in style haha.) That part of the video did make me interested in seeing you do a whole video about jeans rises, maybe measuring all your shorts/jeans like Carrie did a while back or, as other people are saying, searching for actual low rise jeans that fit you, maybe secondhand!
I only wear low rise and can no longer find them new, I'm not plus sized either. There just aren't jeans made with less than an 8.5in rise anymore and 8.5 is rare most are 9-9.5in and they anything higher that 8 is on my navel which is very uncomfortable.
@@amanda9301 idk if you’re from the US, i think most of the followers here are- and i have very different brands because i mostly know european brands - but you can probably find some. some brands, that are less trendy, do have them (real ones). and if not secondhand is your best friend. there are SO many low rise jeans that people don’t want, you should be able to find that pretty easily, and find ones that are in perfect condition
I think secondhand is the best option especially as it's for a video. I know when I go to thrift stores, I have to sift through hundreds of low rise pairs just to find one pair of high rise haha
IMO the happiness factor is severely underrated when it comes to clothes. You looked delighted in the uggs and shorts outfit and it made you shine! That's the definition of a good outfit in my book.
It’s so strange that companies keep calling mid rise jeans “low rise.” You might have to find actual low rise jeans in the thrift store. Also, flares on you are soooooooooo cute!! I audibly gasped and now I need to invest in a pair for myself
They’re also calling mid-rise jeans high-rise which is SUPER annoying and frustrating. The amount of so-called “high-rise” jeans I’ve seen lately where they clearly hit below the model’s belly button is baffling. That’s NOT high-rise!!
Rule #1 for zip off pants from a geologist- Don’t ever zip them off completely! You’ll never find them again! We always used them just as an air vent 😂
The thing about low rise for me is that it more caters towards smaller people and having a small waist. From talking to my friends we all agreed that the low rise growing up was what has catered to a lot of our self esteem and body confidence issues. I grew up in the early 2000s and as a 10 year old that was extremely damaging
Yes!! I remember that all jeans gave me lovehandles. I wasn't that big at all. 1.55 weighed 55/58kg. I thought the problem was me, but now at 38 I understand that it wasn't me but the jeans and the people that kept on telling be to be thin and go on a diet because I was fat. I wasn't fat, I was healthy and all this fat shaming is what drove me to just get sick of everything and give up on taking care of myself because it was just too much.
Same! When my belly started hanging over I genuinely believed for YEARS that low rise jeans had CASUED this, because my “fashionable” jeans hit right below my belly hang.
Absolutely! I remember staring at magazines that just showed celebrities wearing low rise jeans and had NO belly fat. I was not fat at all but I could not be convinced of that.
Sierra the Uggs with shorts actually do look really good on you, but also the green top you wore with it is STUNNING!!! The colour looks so good on you omg
Hi! I just had a few thoughts while watching this: 1) visor-most people think of tennis when thinking about visors...but i think the difference in making it a "trend" is that people wear them in spite of NOT actually playing tennis. Like they would wear them just everyday in a coffee shop or something. I think it would've been different to see you style these in a nontraditional way. 2) I really like the ugg with shorts thing! haha i think a lower rise of uggs would be even cuter (like the ultra-short uggs that are in now) 3) idk how baggy the zip off pants are supposed to be, but i always imagined them a little baggier. like "skater boy" ish baggy, so maybe that would look different? Anyways, i really enjoy your videos! thanks for putting in the time to make them :)
Jepp. I wear these type of pants for hiking and sometimes just as casual wear. And they do look kinda cool, if you wear a slightly baggy pair with maybe a graphic tee and Doc Martens.
I think the uggs with shorts is cute but I cannot imagine what weather it would be warm enough to wear shorts but cold enough to wear Uggs. I feel like one part of me would be uncomfortable temperature wise the whole day😂
When I think visor, I actually first think of the ones that don't have that top flap, which are much cuter than the ones with the weird arch. Those zip up pants could be cute if they were way more wide on the leg, they're supposed to be loose or the zipper will press against your skin and be uncomfortable. The uggs with shorts are cute but as someone who has sweaty feet and can't wear flats I couldn't stand wearing uggs in general Honestly I don't hate low rise jeans but that's probably cause I'm 4'9 and like 60% of that is legs which makes low rise jeans actually mid rise
When I see Uggs with shorts, all I can think of is how sweaty their feet must be 😂 I've always thought it's a cute look but I can't imagine a "toasty and cozy" feeling, just ugghhhh hot sweaty feet and wet socks 🤣 If it's so hot outside that I can wear shorts, I want well ventilated sneakers or even sandals! 😄
Low rise jeans with my love handles? No ma'am, I will NOT be following that trend. 😂 Honestly though you killed it. Every single look. Killed it. Chef's kiss
“It’s okay, I’m kind of cheugy” ohhh I loved that, I felt that same here♥️♥️♥️ people just wear what you want and be your happy self with it, despite being called cheugy or not ♥️
I had literally never thought about it before but now that you’ve brought it up I have to wonder if anyone has EVER (including back in the 2000s) made a real plus size low rise jean. I wouldn’t be surprised if the answer is no. The terrible part about low rise was that they cut well below the stomach so that if your stomach wasn’t completely flat you would feel self conscious (because we were taught that a flat stomach was goals. There is nothing I love more than people challenging this idea). I’m not plus size but my protruding belly made me so self conscious all my childhood /teen years and when all jeans were low rise you can bet all my shirts were long and loose to cover it. I bet companies and designers are thinking there is NO WAY anyone with a larger stomach would buy a pair of jeans that leave their bellys loose, and uncovered. They are completely forgetting that was the experience of almost every girl at that time who wasn’t a size 2. I think the closest thing to a real plus size low rise right now would be those maternity jeans with the elastic band that goes over the stomach and then remove the band.
I have to also add the sizing from back then didn't really survive the sands of time either, I have a size 13 pair of women's/juniors boardshorts from the 2000's and I can't get them over my thighs anymore. If anything the sizes for men's boardshorts grew with me while sex/gender appropriate section sizes just shrank (curses vanity sizing [shakes first at cloud]) or the offerings are not even the style I'm looking for (mainly athleasure or stand up paddle boarding/surfing kind of shorts). I know this suggestion (in the context of this video) is even less cute, but I think maybe men's zip-offs might fit better since women's vanity sizing sucks.
Yeah, even back in the day I flat out refused to wear low rise. I was a skinny kid and the probably would have looked fine on me, but they were so uncomfortable! I felt like the rise was riding up my crotch and like my hoohaa was about to fall out. So glad that trend is dead.
They did make low rise jeans plus sized back in the day. It was terrible, it felt like your butt was hanging out. Every one had to wear long tops with lace at the bottom or with a hip belt. Everyone had a muffin top as the jeans would cut in. Its not an item I want to see come back ever. I'm totally here for the flared jeans though.
As someone who loathes high rise especially jeans, I can say most companies say they are low rise when they are more of a mid rise, it’s very rare to find a rise of a Jean less than 8”.
I own the same REI convertible pants! They're definitely great if you're spending a day on the trail or camping, I like to fully send it by adding my tevas with hiking socks. Not super fashionable in my opinion, but that doesn't stop me. What a fun idea for a video :)
My zip-off khakis have gotten me through a few hikes with unexpected water crossings! But they are also incredibly ugly, which is maybe why I love them so much lol
I’m cool with this “low rise” being the new official definition of low rise. I’m 32. My high school experience was constantly being worried my crack was out of my jeans. There was no other option of rise, so every girl regardless of size dealt with this problem. Some were cool with their cheeks in the breeze, but again, there was No. Other. Option. I get that fashion is cyclical, but low rise jeans were not made for the daily wear that actually happened. Same with the flare actually. Try walking home for a whole school year and tell me how you feel about them then. I swear, there are reasons millennials cling to the leggings and skinny jeans like we do.
I think the visor could have gone really well with another piece of neon in the outfit (like if you had a neon instabaddie sports jacket over the white outfit). I know neon isn't necessarily something you have a ton of in your closet though so you still pulled it off well! 😄
OMG. Every time I see those three color zip up pants in my ads, my brain just goes "cute. you should buy it." I resist every time because realistically I don't see myself wearing them in my everyday life. But the colors are so cute. If they ever do expand to more sizes (and I hope they do!) I would love to see you try it.
I was cracking up at how you were comparing yourself to a middle school boy and camp counselor. I work in the outdoors and wear those style pants (though not always zipoff) daily. I call it "hiker chic" 🤣
Hi seirra, my cat died this morning and my grandmother ended up in the hospital an hour ago. Needless to say i needed this distraction. So thank you, for being you ❤️
Just realizing how "uncool" my style is and how okay I am with it. So many trends these days, im just not into. I wear skinny jeans, converse, wear a side part, and really don't understand bucket hats. 🤣 oh well, im happy. Loved this video! Just a sign to wear what you want and not care what others think of it ❤❤
The visor makes me think of Disneyland!! My family all had visors with our name written in bubble paint with random stickers haha my grandma still had them hanging in her house today! I am having a baby any day now and I want to do that with her and my husband when we go to Disney! Haha thanks for the memory reminder!
Sierra I would literally do anything for you to make a video about how to pose/feel comfortable taking photos so you can feel confident in your body!!!!
I feel like a cropped black tee with the cargo pants would be so cute! having a little skin to break up the two pieces I think would make all the difference! The final outfit w the lil white crop is super cute and not that bad imo!
Your videos are always comfort viewing for me. In the past twelve hours I've found out that I might lose my job and my mum has been admitted to the hospital. I opened my TH-cam to look for distraction and this was exactly what I needed, so thank you ❤️ xx
As an update for anyome who might find this in the future, I did lose my job but am now in a job which is infinitely more enjoyable and better for my mental health, and my mum is now out hospital and thriving. Things do get better with time and courage to pick yourself up again ❤️ x
Honestly I know this isn’t totally relevant but I just wanted to thank you for your content. I’m having a pretty hard time lately and your videos always are a good distraction and they help me feel better in the moment, so thank you 😁
Sierras look in the intro/talk portion is so good ❤️ the high neck t-shirt with the necklace and the hair just has such a cool balance of edgy and cute. I'm a bit sad the zipoff pants didn't work out, on paper it's kinda genius 😅 but I also remember them from back in the day, and might be biased too!
As someone who lived through the low rise trend the first time (😬), I just remember the zipper being like 2” long. That’s the key, super super short zipper.
Your eyes looked sooo pretty with the top color with the Uggs with shorts outfit and you were also super happy. I loved the flared jeans look best. Great video.
I used to be obsessed with these baby blue zip off pants I had in elementary school, so this brought back some good memories! I always wore them with a bucket hat, of course!
I love the zip-off pants. I am a fan of cargo pants in general and I voted 'cool' on the insta poll. AND I STILL LOVE THEM but if I'm being honnest the tricolor ones where so much cuter
So happy to see you love the flared jeans, those are the main kind I wear because I love how the flare visually balances out my hips. I also love visors, I actually bought several last year because my pregnancy made my face really sensitive to sunlight but my hair was WAY too oily for a full hat.
I love the way the flared jeans look on Sierra and other people, I just can’t do them on me. They remind me too much of when I was in middle school, so too many bad memories attached to that style for me to feel comfortable in them.
I just bought my first pair of flares jeans and I love them!! I think they look so sexy, they hug my butt but then the flare balances my hips like you said as well.
The "low" rise jeans look was cute and the UGGs look too. At first I thought the shorts were a skirt. It looked good either way, but a denim skirt would be cute to try.
I have a bleached pixie cut and have for many years. I love to wear ball caps, so visors are a better option for me so I don’t hide my hair that I spend way too much money on. However, I don’t wear those weird plastic ones. Those are a no go for me
I'm not sure about the questionable items, but you just gave me the confidence boost for the tennis skirt. I bought one yesterday and wasn't sure if I should return it, but it looks so cute on you, I'm gonna keep mine and wear it with confidence 💞
Uggs were designed for surfers to keep their feet warm before and after surfing cold water- the same idea as a warm-up tracksuit for runners. So, uggs technically are for warm climates.
I have zip-offs for hiking and love them! I don't wear them anywhere else, but they are GREAT for hiking. There are sometimes when you have no idea what the weather will be like or how you will feel, so options are great!
The white skirt and white crop / pink crop looks amazing on you !! And Uggs with shorts / denim skirts are amazing. I used to wear them with skirts all the time in high school lol.
Loooove the "low"rise flared jeans. It looks amazing on you. Great that you decided to get them tailored in your perfect lenght, cause you look super cute in this jeans. Loved the tennis outfit. Maybe the hat would be nicer in a cotton kind of fabric and than in a cute pastel color. For myself i like midsize jeans. I do have some high rise, but they are pressing in my stomach all the time and i really feel them all day and thinking about it. With a mid rise pants i don't feel the pants all day and i'm not even thinking about it. Low rise isn't my thing anymore. When i was a teenager i was wearing low and mid rize pants. The low rise where really falling of my body. I had to pull them up all the time. And in The Netherlands most people are cycling a lot, so it was really difficult to pull your low rise pants up while cycling. And the other part was that short jackets where fashion, so there was nothing to hide anything if your pants where going down. It really was irritating. All day you was busy with thinking about your pants and pulling it up every minute. Maybe wearing suspenders is a good combination with low rise pants lol.
I don't really get angry about what other people are wearing, it just doesn't seem that important to me because if I don't like something, I don't have to wear it! But Uggs with shorts is probably the one that I could "hate" on the most, just because I feel like it doesn't make sense weather-wise! Why would I be wearing Uggs if it's warm enough for shorts, or vice versa?? So I laughed sooo hard when I heard on the podcast that you were a Uggs and shorts person in early high school, and I didn't hate how it looked on your Insta! Tbh I think you can make anything work with your styling skills Edit now that's I've watched the video: I still don't get how your lower legs (like above the sock but still in the boot) don't get sweaty! I really don't like the feeling of the inside of the boot on my skin, and the sweatiness I think is part of that. But you still rocked the look! That green top is just so cute and you make the whole outfit work
That is my "problem" too. It's more that it doesn't make sence in my head to where shorts with warm boots. I guess it is pretty American. In Europe this has never been a thing. Maybe i can see the lowest uggs with shorts come in style in the future, but not really the boots. But i would still like to wear my sandals or otherwise sneakers or other kind of summerish shoes while wearing shorts.
WOWWWW SIERRA you are so beautiful!!! Your skin is glowing, your hair looks so so healthy and you killed these looks, the flare jeans NEED to become a staple in your wardrobe because they suit you sooo much
I was a middle schooler when Uggs were first huge. Everybody wore them with jean skirts and of course layered tops. The little camis with lace on the bottom were a must 😂
honestly my favourite way to wear low rise is with a longline tee so the tee hits right above where the jeans start - i know a lot of people hate low rise because of how much of the torso it shows but if you find the right tee to go with them then they can be so flattering (especially if your like me and have a shorter torso)!
I started watching this and I was like omg is this dejavu..or has someone else filmed this exact video?! But then i realized I had just seen the vlog where you were filming this 😅 the visor is cute! I've always kinda liked visors anyway though
My dad has had a pair of those zip off pants to shorts for ages (my family calls them shants)! I grew up always lowkey wanting a pair, so I finally bought some about six months ago and I love them, especially when travelling.
i haven't watched your videos since you announced you were pregnant so i wanted to watch this to see how you are doing and i am so glad i did! you are absolutely glowing and this video reminded my why i subscribed to you in the first place a couple years ago. positive energy is what i need ❤️❤️
You're awesome! Thank you for your videos I really really enjoy them. They make me feel more confident in myself. I like the whole premise of accepting ourselves where we are right now not where we can be or where we once were. Thank you so much again for your videos!
I am begging the gods not to bring back flared jeans. When i was in middle school the flare from my jeans got caught in my BIKE CHAIN and I ate concrete falling off my bike because of it and I REFUSE to subject myself to flared jeans ever again.
I was Jean shopping recently and noticed the American eagle low-rise are just mid-rise whether you are plus are not plus. Mid-rise is my preferred cut.
Low rise flares are so comfortable. I have stomach/gut problems and my waist can expand/ shrink as much as 5 inches over the coarse of a day. Low rise doesn't cut into me. I have a pair from 20 yrs ago that have no waist line and they button up no zipper. I will never get rid of them.
as an ecologist (and just an outdoorsy hippie lol) the zip off cargo pants are a STAPLE!!!! some hiking boots, a nature tee, and a baseball hat or bandana?? a whole aesthetic lol
You look friggen adorable in the Uggs/shorts outfit! I never had uggs, never was a fan, but I think you do look cute in that outfit. And you're right, you have an extra glow in it simply because you love it and are comfortable!
I really see the visor coming into future fashion, especially in street ware with like coordinating sweats and sneakers. Like an all white sweat fit with pink crossbody bag and shoes with pink accents? So cute
The visor cracked me up with “it doesn’t block the Sun and actually obstructs my view”🤣
as an archaeologist in an unpredictable climate, zip-off pants are EVERYTHING. The trick to styling them is just massive amounts of dirt 😅
agree, zip-off pants are so useful! and usually come with lots of pockets!!!! but i don't think us archaeologists should be trusted when it comes to fashion choices haha
Lol, yes, I do love zip off cargo pants but I only wear them for hiking 🥾
I love hiking and I also own a pair of zip-off pants which are soooo useful when walking through thick grass. Where I live there are quite a lot of ticks.

I'm a low rise jean person personally, but I do recall a pair of low rise from JLo's line that was so low you would need waxed. lol
Lol I had a cousin that would always wear those low low ones with the dumb zipper and she would always wear a size smaller 🤦♀️ free pube show for everyone
Oh God I was so tiny and I still got muffin top from them
THIS!!!!
There was NO point in a zipper! 🤣
Low rise jeans sat like...on my actual hips.
I owned a clear orange visor in 1999, wore it together with a blow-up clear orange backpack. Honestly a look for little 6yo me.
Oh my goodness you brought memories. Clear colored plastic everything. Backpacks, visors and jelly shoes.
Blow-up backpacks! I didn't remember I had one but it was so much fun. I felt like I was walking around with a cloud on my back
That's amazing

I had the same thought with the visor. Like maybe a more neon futuristic look or with a band t-shirt?
I think the uggs with shorts is cute but I cannot imagine what weather it would be warm enough to wear shorts but cold enough to wear Uggs. I feel like one part of me would be uncomfortable temperature wise the whole day😂

I bet companies and designers are thinking there is NO WAY anyone with a larger stomach would buy a pair of jeans that leave their bellys loose, and uncovered. They are completely forgetting that was the experience of almost every girl at that time who wasn’t a size 2. I think the closest thing to a real plus size low rise right now would be those maternity jeans with the elastic band that goes over the stomach and then remove the band.
I have to also add the sizing from back then didn't really survive the sands of time either, I have a size 13 pair of women's/juniors boardshorts from the 2000's and I can't get them over my thighs anymore.
If anything the sizes for men's boardshorts grew with me while sex/gender appropriate section sizes just shrank (curses vanity sizing [shakes first at cloud]) or the offerings are not even the style I'm looking for (mainly athleasure or stand up paddle boarding/surfing kind of shorts).
I know this suggestion (in the context of this video) is even less cute, but I think maybe men's zip-offs might fit better since women's vanity sizing sucks.
Yeah, even back in the day I flat out refused to wear low rise. I was a skinny kid and the probably would have looked fine on me, but they were so uncomfortable! I felt like the rise was riding up my crotch and like my hoohaa was about to fall out. So glad that trend is dead.
They did make low rise jeans plus sized back in the day. It was terrible, it felt like your butt was hanging out. Every one had to wear long tops with lace at the bottom or with a hip belt. Everyone had a muffin top as the jeans would cut in. Its not an item I want to see come back ever. I'm totally here for the flared jeans though.
@@pepsi33381 I’ll second this. Plus sized since forever and these were totally the only thing you could find for a while and awful
Clothing companies are trying so hard to bring back everything bad about early 2000’s fashion and I need them to stop
As someone who loathes high rise especially jeans, I can say most companies say they are low rise when they are more of a mid rise, it’s very rare to find a rise of a Jean less than 8”.
I own the same REI convertible pants! They're definitely great if you're spending a day on the trail or camping, I like to fully send it by adding my tevas with hiking socks. Not super fashionable in my opinion, but that doesn't stop me. What a fun idea for a video :)
No one:
Sierra right before summer: “I think I might start wearing my Ugg’s more”
Omg I watch your channel :)
@@abigailrobinson ahh 🥺🥺🥺 thank you so much for watching my videos!! It means a lot! Luv u
My zip-off khakis have gotten me through a few hikes with unexpected water crossings! But they are also incredibly ugly, which is maybe why I love them so much lol
I love this idea! My fav thing to do is find dated/“cheugy” pieces in my closet and style them in a way that is cute for today!
I’m cool with this “low rise” being the new official definition of low rise.
I’m 32. My high school experience was constantly being worried my crack was out of my jeans. There was no other option of rise, so every girl regardless of size dealt with this problem. Some were cool with their cheeks in the breeze, but again, there was No. Other. Option.
I get that fashion is cyclical, but low rise jeans were not made for the daily wear that actually happened. Same with the flare actually. Try walking home for a whole school year and tell me how you feel about them then. I swear, there are reasons millennials cling to the leggings and skinny jeans like we do.
I think the visor could have gone really well with another piece of neon in the outfit (like if you had a neon instabaddie sports jacket over the white outfit). I know neon isn't necessarily something you have a ton of in your closet though so you still pulled it off well! 😄
I loved getting to vote on these on Instagram so I’m so excited to see the final video!
I try not to pay attention to trends and just wear what makes me happy 🥰 but watching your videos and seeing you style things sure is entertaining!
OMG. Every time I see those three color zip up pants in my ads, my brain just goes "cute. you should buy it." I resist every time because realistically I don't see myself wearing them in my everyday life. But the colors are so cute. If they ever do expand to more sizes (and I hope they do!) I would love to see you try it.
I have them and they are super practical and cute for hiking! But I wouldn’t wear them in everyday life
I was cracking up at how you were comparing yourself to a middle school boy and camp counselor. I work in the outdoors and wear those style pants (though not always zipoff) daily. I call it "hiker chic" 🤣
Hi seirra, my cat died this morning and my grandmother ended up in the hospital an hour ago. Needless to say i needed this distraction. So thank you, for being you ❤️
Wishing you the best in this hard time.
I LOVED flare jeans in my younger days and I think I’ll search out a pair that fits me now! Thanks for spreading the LOVE for our curves!
American Eagle makes great ones! (Like the ones Sierra has!
Just realizing how "uncool" my style is and how okay I am with it. So many trends these days, im just not into. I wear skinny jeans, converse, wear a side part, and really don't understand bucket hats. 🤣 oh well, im happy. Loved this video! Just a sign to wear what you want and not care what others think of it ❤❤
Saaaaaaaaaame!
Haha you just described my look too but instead of converse I use vans 😅
Omg sameeeee
I love Ugg’s with shorts. They’re very comfy & cute. The photos of you in them looked great, & you looked super comfortable.
The visor makes me think of Disneyland!! My family all had visors with our name written in bubble paint with random stickers haha my grandma still had them hanging in her house today! I am having a baby any day now and I want to do that with her and my husband when we go to Disney! Haha thanks for the memory reminder!
Sierra I would literally do anything for you to make a video about how to pose/feel comfortable taking photos so you can feel confident in your body!!!!
I feel like a cropped black tee with the cargo pants would be so cute! having a little skin to break up the two pieces I think would make all the difference! The final outfit w the lil white crop is super cute and not that bad imo!
Ah, the Kim Possible outfit!
That green top from the Ugg’s outfit looks gorgeous on you, the colour really suits your complexion
Your videos are always comfort viewing for me. In the past twelve hours I've found out that I might lose my job and my mum has been admitted to the hospital. I opened my TH-cam to look for distraction and this was exactly what I needed, so thank you ❤️ xx
As an update for anyome who might find this in the future, I did lose my job but am now in a job which is infinitely more enjoyable and better for my mental health, and my mum is now out hospital and thriving. Things do get better with time and courage to pick yourself up again ❤️ x
the first uggs and shorts look is absolutely adorable on you
Honestly I know this isn’t totally relevant but I just wanted to thank you for your content. I’m having a pretty hard time lately and your videos always are a good distraction and they help me feel better in the moment, so thank you 😁
I could see the cargo jeans to shorts coming back as a midi skirt to a mini skirt with contrasting stitching.
Sierras look in the intro/talk portion is so good ❤️ the high neck t-shirt with the necklace and the hair just has such a cool balance of edgy and cute. I'm a bit sad the zipoff pants didn't work out, on paper it's kinda genius 😅 but I also remember them from back in the day, and might be biased too!
I liked the zip offs better as shorts and it gave very much camp counselor lol but you did a great job trying! love you Sierra
As someone who lived through the low rise trend the first time (😬), I just remember the zipper being like 2” long. That’s the key, super super short zipper.
1. I wear visors in the summer all the time love them and 2. Love to see ugg minis with shorts! Love them !
High rise jeans got so high rise that they redefined “low rise” 😂
Your eyes looked sooo pretty with the top color with the Uggs with shorts outfit and you were also super happy. I loved the flared jeans look best. Great video.
Low rise + flares make me super uncomfortable to even think about, but the ones you tried on are CUTE! Totally a mid-rise ✨
I used to be obsessed with these baby blue zip off pants I had in elementary school, so this brought back some good memories! I always wore them with a bucket hat, of course!
I resently discovered flair jeans as a plus size person and it was an eye opener. Highly recommended, comfert, style and durability
I love the zip-off pants. I am a fan of cargo pants in general and I voted 'cool' on the insta poll. AND I STILL LOVE THEM but if I'm being honnest the tricolor ones where so much cuter
So happy to see you love the flared jeans, those are the main kind I wear because I love how the flare visually balances out my hips. I also love visors, I actually bought several last year because my pregnancy made my face really sensitive to sunlight but my hair was WAY too oily for a full hat.
I love the way the flared jeans look on Sierra and other people, I just can’t do them on me. They remind me too much of when I was in middle school, so too many bad memories attached to that style for me to feel comfortable in them.
I just bought my first pair of flares jeans and I love them!! I think they look so sexy, they hug my butt but then the flare balances my hips like you said as well.
I’m always amazed by how creative you and your team are! You always think out of the box!
The "low" rise jeans look was cute and the UGGs look too. At first I thought the shorts were a skirt. It looked good either way, but a denim skirt would be cute to try.
I’m older but I have always loved flare jeans! From high school onward. Skinny jeans are good, but give me flare jeans any day. 💖
You’re positively glowing Sierra, you look beautiful !
I’ve been waiting for this!!❤️
The uggs would be so cute with a denim skirt, too!!
i think the uggs would actually be great with a lounge look!!! like sweat shorts and a sweatshirt or oversized tee moment
I have a bleached pixie cut and have for many years. I love to wear ball caps, so visors are a better option for me so I don’t hide my hair that I spend way too much money on. However, I don’t wear those weird plastic ones. Those are a no go for me
I'm not sure about the questionable items, but you just gave me the confidence boost for the tennis skirt. I bought one yesterday and wasn't sure if I should return it, but it looks so cute on you, I'm gonna keep mine and wear it with confidence 💞
Uggs were designed for surfers to keep their feet warm before and after surfing cold water- the same idea as a warm-up tracksuit for runners. So, uggs technically are for warm climates.
This was so cute! I loved the “low rise” flared jeans, that outfit was my favorite. I also really liked those green earrings you wore 💜
I have zip-offs for hiking and love them! I don't wear them anywhere else, but they are GREAT for hiking. There are sometimes when you have no idea what the weather will be like or how you will feel, so options are great!
I’ve never understood uggs with shorts. As someone who lives in a colder climate, I wear Uggs to keep my feet warm when there’s snow.
as an REI employee it was so fun to see you try the convertible pants! I thought they looked cute on you!!
I love your style! Being a bigger girl myself, I love that you love your body and wear anything! Way to go!!!
The white skirt and white crop / pink crop looks amazing on you !!
And Uggs with shorts / denim skirts are amazing. I used to wear them with skirts all the time in high school lol.
Your 'low-rise' jeans were SOO cute on you Sierra! They suit you so so well! You look amazing
Loooove the "low"rise flared jeans. It looks amazing on you.
Great that you decided to get them tailored in your perfect lenght, cause you look
super cute in this jeans.
Loved the tennis outfit. Maybe the hat would be nicer in a cotton kind of fabric and than in a cute pastel color.
For myself i like midsize jeans. I do have some high rise, but they are pressing in my stomach all the time and
i really feel them all day and thinking about it.
With a mid rise pants i don't feel the pants all day and i'm not even thinking about it.
Low rise isn't my thing anymore. When i was a teenager i was wearing low and mid rize pants.
The low rise where really falling of my body. I had to pull them up all the time.
And in The Netherlands most people are cycling a lot, so it was really difficult to pull your low rise
pants up while cycling. And the other part was that short jackets where fashion, so there was nothing
to hide anything if your pants where going down.
It really was irritating. All day you was busy with thinking about your pants and pulling it up every minute.
Maybe wearing suspenders is a good combination with low rise pants lol.
Loved this! Can we do a trend-forecast update a year from now to see if you actually guessed right? That would be awesome!
I absolutely loved the uggs look! Totally changed my mind about this!!
Can we please iron that "thick thighs save lives" sign. That crease kills 😅 I notice it everytime.
I don't really get angry about what other people are wearing, it just doesn't seem that important to me because if I don't like something, I don't have to wear it! But Uggs with shorts is probably the one that I could "hate" on the most, just because I feel like it doesn't make sense weather-wise! Why would I be wearing Uggs if it's warm enough for shorts, or vice versa?? So I laughed sooo hard when I heard on the podcast that you were a Uggs and shorts person in early high school, and I didn't hate how it looked on your Insta! Tbh I think you can make anything work with your styling skills
Edit now that's I've watched the video: I still don't get how your lower legs (like above the sock but still in the boot) don't get sweaty! I really don't like the feeling of the inside of the boot on my skin, and the sweatiness I think is part of that. But you still rocked the look! That green top is just so cute and you make the whole outfit work
That is my "problem" too. It's more that it doesn't make sence in my head to where shorts with warm boots.
I guess it is pretty American.
In Europe this has never been a thing.
Maybe i can see the lowest uggs with shorts come in style in the future, but not really the boots.
But i would still like to wear my sandals or otherwise sneakers or other kind of summerish shoes while wearing shorts.
That's what I was thinking too 😂 Like I would wear shorts when it's minimum 25°C outside and that would be waaay too hot for uggs? 😂🙈
My feet are always hot and sweaty, so I can't wear Uggs even in winter, I can't even imagine them in shorts weather
My feet are always cold, even if the rest of my body is warm, so it honestly makes a lot of sense to me haha
WOWWWW SIERRA you are so beautiful!!! Your skin is glowing, your hair looks so so healthy and you killed these looks, the flare jeans NEED to become a staple in your wardrobe because they suit you sooo much
I was a middle schooler when Uggs were first huge. Everybody wore them with jean skirts and of course layered tops. The little camis with lace on the bottom were a must 😂
I STAN ZIPOFF PANTS!!! They are my go to for hiking/camping since they're so functional and comfortable lol
See the thing about jeans on us plus size women I always assumed that you can make them low rise by wearing them under your fupa🤷🏻♀️
honestly my favourite way to wear low rise is with a longline tee so the tee hits right above where the jeans start - i know a lot of people hate low rise because of how much of the torso it shows but if you find the right tee to go with them then they can be so flattering (especially if your like me and have a shorter torso)!
I started watching this and I was like omg is this dejavu..or has someone else filmed this exact video?! But then i realized I had just seen the vlog where you were filming this 😅 the visor is cute! I've always kinda liked visors anyway though
My dad has had a pair of those zip off pants to shorts for ages (my family calls them shants)! I grew up always lowkey wanting a pair, so I finally bought some about six months ago and I love them, especially when travelling.
Honestly girl I'm living for that shirt in your shorts and uggs version of the outfit lol
The problem of Uggs with shorts is the Uggs 😂😂😂 You could never convince me they go with any outfit. Love this video though, so fun!
i haven't watched your videos since you announced you were pregnant so i wanted to watch this to see how you are doing and i am so glad i did! you are absolutely glowing and this video reminded my why i subscribed to you in the first place a couple years ago. positive energy is what i need ❤️❤️
You're awesome! Thank you for your videos I really really enjoy them. They make me feel more confident in myself. I like the whole premise of accepting ourselves where we are right now not where we can be or where we once were. Thank you so much again for your videos!
I am begging the gods not to bring back flared jeans. When i was in middle school the flare from my jeans got caught in my BIKE CHAIN and I ate concrete falling off my bike because of it and I REFUSE to subject myself to flared jeans ever again.
Oh my gosh! The low-rise jeans I wore as a teen were like a 3 to 5 inches rise 😳 the zippers were ridiculous!
Same! And my tank tops were sooo long
I was Jean shopping recently and noticed the American eagle low-rise are just mid-rise whether you are plus are not plus. Mid-rise is my preferred cut.
I’m new to the Sierra and Stephen channel and this is the first I realized I was seeing a behind the scenes for this video already!
Oh my gooooooodness Sierra the first outfit looked SO GOOD on you. The tennis outfit looked so freaking good on you!
Low rise flares are so comfortable. I have stomach/gut problems and my waist can expand/ shrink as much as 5 inches over the coarse of a day. Low rise doesn't cut into me. I have a pair from 20 yrs ago that have no waist line and they button up no zipper. I will never get rid of them.
as an ecologist (and just an outdoorsy hippie lol) the zip off cargo pants are a STAPLE!!!! some hiking boots, a nature tee, and a baseball hat or bandana?? a whole aesthetic lol
You look friggen adorable in the Uggs/shorts outfit! I never had uggs, never was a fan, but I think you do look cute in that outfit. And you're right, you have an extra glow in it simply because you love it and are comfortable!
"OMG I'm a middle school boy!" 🤣😂💗
Sierra, you are awesome. Thanks for making me smile at the end of a bad day. 💙💙💙
the zip off pants when they're long paired with the t shirt is something laini ozark would wear and i love it
I’ve been craving wearing Ugg’s with shorts lately.
I really see the visor coming into future fashion, especially in street ware with like coordinating sweats and sneakers. Like an all white sweat fit with pink crossbody bag and shoes with pink accents? So cute
