I’m not as strict with jeans because styles change even if the similar styles return but I totally agree with most of these preferences. The only thing I’m a stickler about is the shape since I’m petite and have to choose the shape more carefully-ie: not too flared, not too wide, not too high rise, etc.
I really like a bootcut or flare jean. They always look good on every figure and seem to elongate the legs. I am also a fan of a midrise or low-ish rise waist. I really dislike the high rise jeans now. I used to wear Levis 501, but they aren't quite the same anymore with all the stretch. Still a good look on the back pocket/butt.
Thank you. That was so useful for a 54 year old. It’s so easy to get completely wrong at my age. I have a pair of 501s from the first time they were fashionable. Vintage like me 😂
I agree with just about everything you said except the arch/balloon jeans. I’m quite skinny and those pants make me look like I have no figure. 😮 that’s just me though. 😊
Thank you so much for educating us with your content. You’ve saved me from impulse shopping so many times and also inspired me to find my authentic style ❤
I agree with all the jeans you highlighted to avoid. Jeans are one of the most difficult items for me to buy as they are so difficult to look really flattering. I personally prefer a classic Jean- the simpler,the better.
Honestly that is true for most (almost all?) of us. Truth is, there are so many options that are designed for a wide variety of body types combined with a tendency to be very trendy that at any given time you have to sift through a lot of denim noise. Especially if you are shopping mainstream stores.
Erin Busbee had good recommendations on choosing denim albeit for 40s plus women and she agreed with no whiskering (the horizontal lines along the hips) but she explained why - extra horizontal lines, whether via whiskering or unnecessary pockets, adds a line to break up the outfit and will also make you look wider. So if you want to look sleek and give an illusion of narrower, one trick is to avoid extra horizontal lines 😉
Another trick to look for is the size, closeness, and even angle of the back pockets because they will affect how your hind end looks. Small and wide they will make you appear larger, bigger and closer together they will make you look smaller. So the pockets really matter in the back too. I avoid some Levi's because they make the back pockets so wide and it makes me look huge. Just a tip 😉
Yes, avoid buying all those swerve styles but if they are all you own then just pair them with a classy white blouse, ballet flats and a nice pair of earrings lol 😉 😘
I agree with everything you said. Unfortunately, here in the U.S. wide leg cropped slacks are coming into fashion. Just a glimpse of ankle. But I am not going there. I will just wait this one out until everyone comes to their senses and this style passes. LOL! Thank you, Lydia.
Lydia, I agree with all your choices of jeans. The only thing is do they apply to petite people like the joggers or wide leg. Most of the models shown are tall so the jeans look fine if they are long on them but what about a petite person could that make them look shorter. Thank you for all the various jean suggestions! 😊❤️
This was a very useful video, but it would be lovely if you could take the styles you desire and show some different ways to style them including the right shoes to wear with them. Thanks for your inspiration.
Thanks for what to buy! I’m always looking for good jeans. I do not agree however with the contrast stitching 🧵 I love dark blue jeans 👖 with light tan stitching , looks so classic and refined (in my opinion) 🥰
Jeggings are for toddlers. Agree with all of this, except perhaps the always wear jeans long. TBH this does feel modern and of the moment, so I think you are correct to say it looks "cooler" to be a little puddly. But as a 5' 3" woman I find a jean that ends at the ankle can be more traditionally flattering. Although 100 agree that "cropped" jeans really only look good on a few body shapes.
Thank you for doing this! I didn't even know I needed it until you did it! There are so many styles out there that it gets confusing as to what you like or should like. I'm seeing a lot of the embellished and coated jeans and I'm thinking should I like these and get a pair. Just because they're selling them doesn't mean I should buy them. This video was super helpful to maintain a classic style and to narrow down what you need to add to your closet.
How about the Sezane LeCrop jeans?? They are wide but cropped going in your "avoid" column. But I love them and think they are actually quite popular. Although now I am afraid I may change my mind.
Yes, it’s been a useful video Lydia since I’ve worn about 3/4 of the jeans from your avoid list!! I could tell you about a real pair of horrors that I wore in the early noughties 😆 I’ve never worn ripped jeans though. To me they look like they’ve been run over by a lawnmower.
I've got the really dark wash wide leg cargo jeans from M&S and I think that they're really smart and elevated. I think the dark wash and wide leg make them smart. They're quite a stiff, structured tailored cut too. And the cargo pockets just give them a moden twist. But I do think that the pockets have to be flush to the leg. I don't like the pockets that actually have a base so that they sag and bag out from the jeans.
So needed! I find jeans the hardest thing to buy. To get the right length, colour and style, I end up trying on hundreds before I doin the perfect pair 😊
I tried sooo many jeans styles over the years. The once I stuck with and are very flattering are Levi 501 in various lengths, and the arch jeans. So, no more searching for me.
The avoid pairs were quite obvious to me, none of them I would ever wear. I'm also planning to get 501 but don't know what lenght to go for cos I've got wider hips
Exactly. I prefer that cut and fabric to all else. But the tiny waist courtesy kindly doctors and 17 years steroids after medically caused asthma prevents me.
Same, I find their denim such a small fit?!? I sent back the Arch jeans as they were too tight and I ordered the largest size.. Arket are the same, their biggest size in denim is a UK14...
I don't like those brown jeans those yo me look dirty. However, I have one pair with side pocket and I wore them with a white shirt and a belt how you suggest in your videos and I got lots of compliments on how cute they looked. But I agree we must be very careful when buying jeans..
I can't remember when this was, but slightly cropped and loose jeans with a band of embroidered ribbon around the hem were a thing. Possibly fifteen to twenty years ago. Very limiting in what you could wear with them ( peasant blouses were big as well back then) - a very bohemian look, not for everyone.
I loved this, but I love all things boho. But as you say, they are quite limiting in terms of what you can style them with. I find this a lot with boho generally and is 1 of the reasons I don't do any boho basics anymore (works better for accessory pieces, especially for my figure)
@@susie9893 I must admit I loved them too when they came out - I shortened a pair of op- shop jeans and stitched the embroidered ribbon around the hem!
I love your content. I agree with everything that you mentioned that you don’t like back when they were doing jegging I would go in the men’s department.. buy Levi’s/found a couple really good ones. The best part is they actually have pockets u can put stuff in/can’t stand stretchy jeans there’s no point in my opinion
Great video. Couldn't agree more on the cropped length for jeans or pants and especially on the wide leg. I have yet to see anybody who really looks good in this style. Also that jegging pant was not good when it first came out and probably never will be. Ripped jeans a definite no here and looks like they are not as popular this year. I always hear "wear what you like", but sometimes we all need to step back and take a second look.
I strive to become as polished and put together as you ☺️❤️ your videos help me a lot with styling pieces I already have and what to buy when I need new stuff
Jeans are so hard to find! On me, the barrel jeans are so unflattering. I found that the best fit for me is fitted on the bum / thigh and straight leg, slightly cropped.
Super helpful video! I completely agree with the avoid jeans… but I am guilty of buying the contrast stitching. Was feeling unsure about them and could not explain why 😮 I will return them after this video ahahah 😅
I love the barrel jeans. Stunning design as they wee originally round 1980. I am a deep autumn with pale skin, so the all the mid to pale washed out jeans look chap, weak and pathetic on me. Same on my fah wih white hair and strong tan. Pale wash on you Lydia is soft and lovely. Please do jeans on your mum. I have medically induced asthma and had 17 years on steroids. Previously I was very slim, about your height and a 32A bra at 40 and always looked model like so everything I put on looked wonderful. So now women say I am not fat but my waist is above the standard for my medium to small hips. I bought clean black H&M Jeans straight with 4% stretch stuff so even the waistband stretches whilst a normal cut. This works but the great jeans are pure cotton.
I have always liked Levi's 501 jeans too. If you look close, they can remind you of Mom Jeans, with the tapered leg which I like. Interesting how Mom Jeans where not so hot a while back and now they seem to be making a come back in some form with other jean styles. I still like jeggings because they look great to me with boots and booties.
I cant believe my no1 styling guru (you) have not got any 501s. 😱. I love the 724. Just because the button fly on 501 can be troublesome if you get a sudden urge. 😳 i agree with all the avoids. They are totally minging.
Great video! I agree with you in everything. Can you also do a video on bags and shoes to avoid? I think those can uplift your outfit or do the opposite.
Please make sure to try on the 501s prior to purchase ! I wore them to death when I was younger but after puberty.. NOT ! Those are better for people with no curves and they will flatten your butt 🤦♀️ they definitely have other options.. maybe the 7 somethings 🤔
Hi Lydia, would it be possible that you can do a video of styling jeans with boots? Been styling skinny/slim jeans with boots all my life and having a hard time to do it with straight/wide legs/etc... sometimes I would wonder does it even work? love this episode, by the way. Thank you!
Look into COS. Lydia also owns a white pair of barrel jeans from COS. There are other colors too. I also saw many other styles from Mother jeans and Agolde jeans. I love Mother and Agolde!
Thanks for the valuable video!! When it comes to jeans I recently opt for straight leg jeans ( I can recommend jeans Lee Carol they are straight legged, high waised and they are vey similiar to the Levis 501 which I also want to get maybe in a wite or creme color). Additionally I really like wearing mom jeans I have got one pair from Topshop. I am a petite woman and I think wide leg/barrel jeand can overwhelm me. At home I like to wear leggings and I hate jeggins too. From time to time I wear skinny jeans and I have a pair of ripped jeans wioch I try to get rid of by selling them (I do not know whart forced me to buy them)
I anyway have a very limited choice of jeans, styles and fit, because all of them are gaping at my waist, so there only very few brands that make jeans for slim curvy women 😢
Gaping waist is actually an easy fix that most seamstresses know how to fix OR if you own a sewing machine search TH-cam 'How to Alter A Waist On Jeans', purchase the proper notions (sewing machine needle for denim, polyester blend thread etc.) for a perfect fit.
@@sestricaanutka : Just shared the info in event you (or others) weren't aware that waistbands can be altered. As to the pricing increase, like anything else I guess it depends upon where you live.
thank you very much, Lydia for a very nice and useful video! I would advise against Levi´s 501 jeans though. I owned 2 pairs of them and the quliaty isn´t really good for the price tag. For me personally Mango and Zara jeans have almost the same quality but cost less. I also recently purchased the jeans from &Other Stories and they look so chic and expensive. Really good quality! I would opt for &Other Stories, Arket, COS jeans instead of Levi´s. The price is alsmost the same but the quality is far more better 🙂
One of the comments below says "can we make capris illegal". My question is "can we make leggings illegal?" Is this a covid lockdown look? If you're not a teenager or in yoga class, it needs to be covered up, even if it's jeggings!
I like classic tan/orange stitching, but I watch out for overly contrasty whiskering on the hip area and too bright buttons (copper, bright silver, etc.) also in denim jackets, as they're a bit like jewellery and can make an outfit look too busy
In 1873 the American creator of jeans, Levi Strauss went into business with a gentleman named Jacob Davis because Davis had invented the copper rivets. Since then levi jeans have had copper rivets and orange stitching to match. This is a part of American history so please do not criticize the contrasting stitching on jeans if it is American Levis.
The older I get the more I'm convinced that trends are irrelevant. If you find styles that suit you best then invest in good quality items in those styles and stick with them. That way you will always look elegant and stylish (and you can always buy small accessory items that are on trend to refresh your look)
Totally agree apart from jeggings, I love them! Can tuck them into boots to walk the dog, more flattering for your bum than leggings because of the pockets, I even have riding jeggings with a sticky seat 😂
I agree with the ones to avoid but paper bag are very dependent on body shape/height. I’m 5ft 3in with a short torso so no real waist and these look hideous on me. Also I feel the barrel leg will be cringed at in the same way as jeggings in the future.
I say the same thing to my boys as your grandfather, paying for ripped jeans feels like paying for trash. I told them go to good will and get cheap ones and rip them yourself!
To summarise: jeans are a basic, therefore keep them basic (and classic). BTW I heard a French stylist say you should always avoid distressed jeans because this ages your jeans before their time. (This appealed to my budget conscious soul). I do like jeggings for travel tho. I won't take jeans on holidays anymore, but jeggings are more lightweight (but thicker, therefore warmer, than tights - I'm thinking winter travel). They also take up less space. Just make more sense

Please do a video styling your mom!! It would be great to do a capsule wardrobe and then add some modern looks to her wardrobe in another one. Please?
Yes, I need looks from Lydia on over 60 and 70 wanting to hide a stomach area, what do we wear. I’m size 12/14
This sounds like a fun idea, if Lydia and her mom are both willing😊
I’m not as strict with jeans because styles change even if the similar styles return but I totally agree with most of these preferences. The only thing I’m a stickler about is the shape since I’m petite and have to choose the shape more carefully-ie: not too flared, not too wide, not too high rise, etc.

Can we just appreciate your nails being on point every video?! Beautiful 🤍
Nail lacquer needs to disappear- it is so bad for the environment and for one's health.
Nails that beautifully manicured do more for a woman than jewelry 💎
Thanks Lydia, that was really useful. Would love a “what jeans to wear with what footwear” video!
I recently tried on the barrel style jean, and I was surprised how flattering they looked on me😊 I now have a black pair and pale blue denim.
I agree with just about everything you said except the arch/balloon jeans. I’m quite skinny and those pants make me look like I have no figure. 😮 that’s just me though. 😊
So so helpful as I clean, declutter, store, and organize my wardrobe for spring transitions. Inspired me to dive right in as I listened! Thank you!

Im a big fan of Zara jeans, the range they offer is fantastic and they are so reasonably priced.
I like your recommendations.
For my curvy body type though a paper bag waist is not a good choice. Also the 501 do not work, I prefer the ribcage.
Your Don’t Jeans was very helpful. As a 5’ petite women, the kick flare was would be the best jeans for me. Thank you.

Mango jeans are so underrated. I have the best luck in there in terms of fit on the highstreet.
Some of the best jeans I ever had are from Mango sale 😊
Lived in Levi's 501's in the 90's. Love, love your classy style. Thank you ❤🇦🇺

Agreed. Wide, cropped jeans everywhere. Seems to be a reaction to skinnies going out of style, as opposed to a style that can work for most bodies.

Yes definitely, I am petite also and the puddling looks absolutely ridiculous on me
I'm tall and I still havent found joggers for my 34 inch inch legs
This was a very useful video, but it would be lovely if you could take the styles you desire and show some different ways to style them including the right shoes to wear with them. Thanks for your inspiration.
I think it's also very crucial to mention the difference between stretch jeans vs not stretch jeans. It makes a lot of difference.
Love when you recommend the best length and shoe for each style of jeans
Thanks for what to buy! I’m always looking for good jeans. I do not agree however with the contrast stitching 🧵 I love dark blue jeans 👖 with light tan stitching , looks so classic and refined (in my opinion) 🥰
Love your hair that length. It’s so chic on you xxx
I was just in zara yesterday evening up the paper bag jeans! This video is my sign to go back and buy them 😊
I have such a hard time styling my jeans thanks for this video I agree with your don’t buy list I wish you showed how to style each style jeans
Jeggings are for toddlers. Agree with all of this, except perhaps the always wear jeans long.

Hi Lydia! I love your channel and your input in today’s fashion. ❤
Nice suggestions, but very subjective. Two-colour panel jeans elongate the legs.
I love today's styling tips.
The two colour jeans with the yellow tinge look like they are growing mould

thank you very much, Lydia for a very nice and useful video! I would advise against Levi´s 501 jeans though. I owned 2 pairs of them and the quliaty isn´t really good for the price tag. For me personally Mango and Zara jeans have almost the same quality but cost less. I also recently purchased the jeans from &Other Stories and they look so chic and expensive. Really good quality! I would opt for &Other Stories, Arket, COS jeans instead of Levi´s. The price is alsmost the same but the quality is far more better 🙂

One of the comments below says "can we make capris illegal". My question is "can we make leggings illegal?" Is this a covid lockdown look? If you're not a teenager or in yoga class, it needs to be covered up, even if it's jeggings!
I like classic tan/orange stitching, but I watch out for overly contrasty whiskering on the hip area and too bright buttons (copper, bright silver, etc.) also in denim jackets, as they're a bit like jewellery and can make an outfit look too busy
Loved this video!
In 1873 the American creator of jeans, Levi Strauss went into business with a gentleman named Jacob Davis because Davis had invented the copper rivets. Since then levi jeans have had copper rivets and orange stitching to match. This is a part of American history so please do not criticize the contrasting stitching on jeans if it is American Levis.
My shape does not suit a high rise/waist and it’s really tricky to find decent mid rise jeans 😕
You shoud try Agolde Jeans.
i understand its fashion and its changing but i with this barrel and palazzo wide leg jeans would go away! i agree with all avoid items too.
The older I get the more I'm convinced that trends are irrelevant. If you find styles that suit you best then invest in good quality items in those styles and stick with them. That way you will always look elegant and stylish (and you can always buy small accessory items that are on trend to refresh your look)
I have never liked cropped pants. They fall terrible and look like your pants shrunk
Love your style❤. May I ask, does the COS barrel jeans stretch as you wear them more?
Thanks. If you live in SA its hard to fond jeans that suit your lengthbif you are 1.8m tall...they are always a bit om the short side for me
How about a video on styling cropped jackets.
Completely agree with all of these points regarding jeans!!!
Totally agree apart from jeggings, I love them! Can tuck them into boots to walk the dog, more flattering for your bum than leggings because of the pockets, I even have riding jeggings with a sticky seat 😂
I agree with the ones to avoid but paper bag are very dependent on body shape/height. I’m 5ft 3in with a short torso so no real waist and these look hideous on me. Also I feel the barrel leg will be cringed at in the same way as jeggings in the future.
I say the same thing to my boys as your grandfather, paying for ripped jeans feels like paying for trash. I told them go to good will and get cheap ones and rip them yourself!
Great video with good advice too
I have the Mango kick flare jeans and love them. Love your recs!
Thank you Lydia, you are my fashion bible
Love you are from Manchester too 💖
To summarise: jeans are a basic, therefore keep them basic (and classic).
BTW I heard a French stylist say you should always avoid distressed jeans because this ages your jeans before their time. (This appealed to my budget conscious soul).
I do like jeggings for travel tho. I won't take jeans on holidays anymore, but jeggings are more lightweight (but thicker, therefore warmer, than tights - I'm thinking winter travel). They also take up less space. Just make more sense
Great video. Thank you for simplifying very confusing mix of jean styles.
Thank you, so helpful…
The black pants and taupe top
Beautiful and useful ❤thanks
